Can it be that you are running GIMP from a read-only device, and it defaults to save in a folder on the read-only device? What if you try to save in your home folder? Where exactly did you get GIMP from? / Martin ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Gimp bug over font size
Hi, I am dedicated to web design and experimenting with Gimp 2.6.8 (although I think is reproducible to earlier versions) on Debian (Linux) Lenny 2.6.26-2. I've noticed that when fixed font size to X pixel no change when I select unit points (I guess postscript) and that the application draws the text with a size equal to the conversion of pixel to points. For example, a size fixed at 16 px and the program draws a string of characters with a size of 12px. 12 is the point size equal to 16 px. If a bug is there any way to fix it without having to wait for the next version of Gimp? Regards, -- Bruno Jesus Mendoza Guedes brunomend...@xxxgmail.com (quitar XXX) | | + \ \\.G_.*=. `( '/.\| .'

[Gimp-user] Bug in the Gradient tool ?
Check your Preferences. On the Tool Options page make sure that the Gradients box is checked under Paint Options Shared Between Tools. Thank Saulgoode that solved Usually i dislike share options between tools, but i see now that may be very useful for the gradient -- photocomix (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Text tool options menu, where is it?
Greetings; My text font size is microscopic, and the help shows an option menu that lets me adjust that, but I'll be a monkey's uncle if I can find it. Anybody know where it wandered off to in gimp-2.6.6 as supplied with Fedora 10? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: [Gimp-user] ?? Status of remembering Layers setting for Canvas Resizing -- in most recent version

If the dialog remembers an option, the user also has to remember that option. In general, this amounts to additional cognitive burden to keep the mental model in sync with the application state. Hmm I don't understand, how would there be additional cognitive burden on users if a dialog remembers a setting across invocations? You are right, that was an invalid generalisation. I was thinking of the 'New Layer' dialog where the 'fill' option tends to get in the way. (If i leave that option to a fixed value -- like a prefs item -- there's no problem, i can just hit enter to create the new layer. If i, however, do change this value, i'd better remember this the next time i create a new layer.) [..] I am not convinced that the 'New Layer' example given presents a better situation as described. well, it additionally depends on the task at hand -- which tells that it was bad idea to hold the dialog state responsible for getting in the way. This cannot be generalized. Allow me to rephrase my original point: Each of said dialog options can potentially get in the way of smooth workflows and is worth being questioned. Now for my example where it's indeed the dialog state that is counter-productive: For the New Layer dialog, the crucial question is wether the next layer will be created with the same fill as the last one. If that assumption holds true most of the time, then a stateful option is useful, as you described here: In the 'New Layer' example given, if I am doing a certain repetitive task, it is *highly* likely that I will want the new layer to have the same fill every time I do that function. There is a significant burden in having to change this setting _every_ time. (And to make it worse, some of these settings are not so easily accessible via keyboard, thus wrecking my shoulder from mousing too much.) If however, say, a mixed stack of 10 transparent layers and 5 colored layers is to be created, then using the stateful option becomes a burden: The user is forced to read and potentially adjust its value for each new layer. In this case, it is more efficient to leave to the fill option to 'transparent' and manually fill the layer later on, if required. Why? Because it can be done blindly, at least when using the keyboard (see below). So, which is better: a) Knowing that the program will always force a default value and having to change it much of the time (in my case for Canvas Resizing, ALL the time). b) Knowing that the user is responsible to paying attention to what the value says when they get to the dialog and if it is correct for the task (which it will then be, once the user has set it, until later changed by the user). Sorry, i cannot give a useful general answer here. Consider e.g. the Gaussian Blur filter, whose radius setting matches both a) and b). For the New Layer dialog, i'd prefer: c) Always create a transparent layer, without showing a dialog. Then let the user fill the new layer if desired (not considering layer size here). This works nicely for a keyboard workflow: CTRL-SHIFT-N, CTRL-. Fast, no confirmation required and no application state has to be remembered. An open question is how to make this fast for a mouse only / tablet user. For your original case of Canvas Resizing, i fully agree that the dialog should remember the 'resize layers' option (until we get auto-sizing layers, of course). regards, peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Then let the user fill the new layer if desired (not considering layer size here). Well, layer size is the problem here. It is rather inconvenient to resize layers, so it is somewhat important for many work-flows to have a way to specify the size when the layer is created. This works nicely for a keyboard workflow: CTRL-SHIFT-N, CTRL-. Fast, no confirmation required and no application state has to be remembered. An open question is how to make this fast for a mouse only / tablet user. Easy enough, a mouse user can drag the foreground or background color from the bottom of the Toolbox or from the Colors dockable and drop it either on the image window or on the newly created layer in the Layers dialog.
