Package: gimp Version: 2.2.13-1 Severity: normal
I want to edit a series of photos on my older machines, so I start one gimp per machine, which i view on one X display. That way I can use the CPUs and RAM in parallel by editing several images at once and don't need to wait for filters, because I can switch to another (window,image, cpu)-tuple. Actually I use gqview to browse the images, which calls gimp-remote to open the files. X makes this really transparent. The problem is: gimp-remote in most cases finds the wrong gimp process, which can't open the image, because the path is local only on one machine and a network path on the others... Even if the local gimp would be able to open the file that would not be what I want. In case of gimp and gqview (i.e. gimp-remote) running on different machines, there is no gimp started at all on the machine where gqview is running, but gimp-remote tries (unsuccessfully, because of different paths) to use the remote gimp. I could alternatively tell gqview to use "gimp" instead of "gimp-remote" to edit images, but this is wrong as well, because this starts a new complete gimp process for each image, which is a problem because of the startup times, the toolbox window inflation and the multiple tile buffers. There are two possible solutions: let gimp-remote find all gimps on the display and prefer the one coming from the same client as gimp-remote, or optionally ignore all gimps not from the same client, even starting a new gimp if all gimps are from other clients. If not from a text mode program/script I can't imagine a reason to not want to run gimp on the same machine as the program wanting to open an image in gimp. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (800, 'stable'), (750, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (750, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gimp depends on: ii gimp-data 2.2.13-1 Data files for The GIMP ii libaa1 1.4p5-30 ascii art library ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libexif12 0.6.13-5 library to parse EXIF files ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgimp2.0 2.2.13-1 Libraries necessary to Run the GIM ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblcms1 1.15-1 Color management library ii libmng1 1.0.9-1 Multiple-image Network Graphics li ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-2 Windows metafile conversion librar ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.5-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii wget 1.10.2-2 retrieves files from the web ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gimp recommends: ii gimp-print 5.0.0-3 print plugin for the GIMP ii gimp-svg 2.2.13-1 SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) plu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
