Comment 10 for bug 543384

Hello,
you are probably looking at the order currently included as opposed to the new one proposed; in fact many of the issues you highlight are exactly the ones this change is designed to fix.

The change focuses on 3 key areas:
 - Structural Consistency
The new layout completely follows the Gnome Human Interface guidelines on toolbars, having the same order as the menus, and uses the order suggested for office applications. The principles are the same as those used in gedit, nautilus and Eye Of Gnome.
 - Easy of use
The new layout has a save button and a label for the crop button; I can guarantee you that without these many new users will be asking how to save the images produced. As of these changes, users are able to access the entire functionality of the application graphically.
 - Visual Consistency
I have moved the mode selector to the end of the toolbar for 2 reasons. Firstly, in the new Ubuntu theme it looks visually distinct from the rest of the icons and would look messy in the middle of the toolbar (placing it at the start would be inconsistent with the rest of the desktop). Its functionality is also conceptually distinct as it changes the mode of the application instead of initiating an action (things which perform different tasks should look different).
