This actually has been a known bug for almost 10 years running; currently the only (in-GIMP) workaround is to pad your image canvas size out by the desired margin. Bugzilla report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562619 (since 2008) (The centering option technically does work fine, since all it does is calculate the corresponding print margins; it's the print margins themselves that are the problem.) -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
