More of a UX change, but @GIMP now notifies you of unsupported features when importing PSDs! The goal of course is to make this list smaller, but until then users should be more aware of potential issues.

@zemarmot mentioned the UI could look better, so suggestions for further improvements are welcome!

Import dialogue that appears when you load PSD files with unsupported features. Title: "Import PSD". Text: "Compatibility Notice" "This PSD file contains features that are not yet fully supported in GIMP:" "Fill Layers are partially supported and will be converted to raster layers" "Vector masks are partially supported and will be convertered to raster layers" "Vector strokes are not yet supported and will be dropped".

@CmykStudent @GIMP @zemarmot do you first evaluate which of these are applicable so that you can hide the rest?

@ajorg @GIMP @zemarmot
Sure, we only show features that are actually in the PSD. We also only print one warning per category (e.g. if you have 10 vector strokes in the file, you only see one notification for it). And if there aren't any missing features in the file, you don't get the pop-up at all.
