I was reluctant to add what would be needed for a preview because it would have broken compatibility with some of the software I was using. They went and broke compatibility anyway for other reasons. I am reasonably sure they have a Perl script to add the necessary information to allow a preview but they do not seem to have gotten around to it last time I checked (I do not do perl. I've moved on from OpenClipart.org and didn't plan on making any further changes to the files I had submitted, the other files I submitted are probably still in the queue awaiting processing). > one can't even browse the repository any longer.

I cannot fix the openclipart.org website, as I do not have CVS access. I'll try and bring it to the attention of the admins but I'm not very closely involved in the project. I just happened to join up early on and contribute some a few hundred gradients and patterns when the library was only small, and I haven't looked at the project it in months even though I do still think it is a very worthwhile project. I could to see about getting the gradients updated to include the information needed for previews, but I'm not making any promises (I might get it done over christmas). > As soon as this is fixed, someone might look into fixing our > registry for you. Do not fix the registry on my account. The registry is nice to have but I dont need it very often. I had not seen the breakage mentioned and thought you might not already be aware of it or that I might be doing something wrong. I decided to ask about it first rather than filing a bug report, I can still file a bug report if you want - Alan _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
