[Gimp-user] PDF

2013-05-12 Thread Janet Little
Recently installed Gimp. Could someone step me through how to change the
settings so Gimp no longer opens my pdf files? I see the issue mentioned on
the web but the solutions are for a person more computer literate than me.
They also seemed to mostly relate to Ubuntu and wanting Evince to open pdf.
I have Windows 7 with Chrome  Firefox browsers, and adobe reader.  Tried
looking here - sorry if I missed it.

[Gimp-user] GIMP Text Tool

2013-05-12 Thread jenn golden
Hi - I am trying to add text to a  graphic, I have tried 3x's. after the
2nd time the program closed I got smart enough to save it every step of the
way. I can add the text, and duplicate the layer. I want to make a shadow
effect. I can move the top layer into the position that I want. But as soon
as I try to change the color of the top layer the whole program shuts
down!!! This is so frustrating. I have a few photo shoots coming up, and I
will need to be able to add text and graphics to the photos. I used 2.6
until it quit working on my computer, so I uninstalled it and installed the
2.8 version... any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated! I am
using Windows 7!

Could you right-click on a PDF file and use the Open With menu to
choose Adobe Reader (or some other PDF reader) as the application to
use?  When doing that, make sure the use as default application (or
similarly phrased) check box is checked.

Peace...

I found

when searching for windows 7 file associations. At a glance, it seems 
to be pretty straightforward.

Hi,

I am Windows7 64 bits my OS is in French so may be I am not using the 
corresponding English/US terms


- Left Click on the Start button (at the bottom left of the screen),
- The corresponding start windows opens, then Left click on Configuration 
Panel
- A new windows appears. Search for Default Program which is just located 
under Program and funtionnalities
- A new windows appears with four selectable options. Left click on the 
second one from the top associate a type of file or a protocole with a 
specific program
- lets some time to your computer for displaying all the associations then 
with the lift search for .pdf.
- When you find it, then you shall find GIMP in regard, then select the line 
with a left click.
- Look at the top of the windows on the right hand side, you will find a 
button displaying change the program. Left click on it.

- A new windows appears, in which you should find the Adobe Reader program.
IF SO
- You just have to left click on it then click on the OK Button and the 
windows will close.

- Now aside .pdf Adobe Acrobat Document will appear and the things are done.
- Close the windows with a left click on the button located on the bottom 
right handside, then close other windows and check if everything is OK in 
opening a .pdf cocument.
IF ADOBE READER PROGRAM does not appear as above, then the thing are a bit 
more complicated :
- verify that the box to be ticked just under the Recommanded Programs 
window named use always the selected program to open this type of document 
is ticked.

- Then left click on the Search button located just aside.
- A New window appears which contains the Program Files : on the left you 
will see the organization of your C Hard disk which is supporting the 
Operating System and all Programs and in most cases the documents ; on the 
right, you will see the details of the directory which is selected in the 
left part.
Then it depends if you are using a 32 bits or a 64 bits Windows 7. If  it is 
a 32 bits you are in the right location i.e. Program Files. If you are 
using a 64 bits, you have to select Program Files (x86) : use the lift down 
and left click on Program Files (x86).
- At the top of the right part (sub-window), you will see : Adobe. left 
click twice on it, then you might have one or two reader : Reader 9.0 or 
Reader 10.0

- Left click twice on the higher reader you have, in my case Reader 10.0.
- you will see four directories : esl, Reader, Resource, Setup Files
- Left click twice on Reader directory to look at the details
- You will find a .exe named AcroRd32.exe
- select it with a left click then left click on the Open button at the 
bottom right of the window.
- The .exe shall appear in the change program windows, then click on OK 
and it is done.

- Proceed as above to verify the things.

Hope it will help

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8x on Linux Debian Squeeze?

2013-05-12 Thread Henry W. Peters

Hi,

Does anyone on the list here, have any actual knowledge  or experience 
building GIMP 2.8x on Linux Debian Squeeze? My current version of GIMP 
is 2.6.1.


Some questions I have (for example) are: Do I /really/ have to uninstall 
the old version...? Any dependency issues (conflicts, etc.) ? Any way to 
get the (newer) dependencies by means of the terminal? Will I be able to 
actually do this (i.e.,/ do a working build with this version/)?


Thanks much for any pointers.

Henry

I have 2.6 and 2.8 on the a Mint (like Ubuntu/Debian) system.

There's a build script floating around somewhere, but I can't seem to
find it now (and it required heavy modification, at least for my
system anyway).

There's this:
http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking:Building/Linux

I think the biggest thing to remember is to remember to prefix
everything with /opt or /home/YOU/gimp/ - ie *not* put it into /usr or
/usr/local/.

'apt-get build-dep gimp' should bring in several -dev packages you'll
need.  The rest will need to be compiled and installed in /opt or
wherever.

It's been some months since I went through this - I'm probably
forgetting a few things, but the short answer is yes, you can compile
and install 2.8 without removing 2.6.  There are quite a dew deps to
work through, but keep the additions outside of your system path and
you should be fine.

2013-05-12 Thread Dominik Tabisz
Hi
Some time ago i tried both compiling Gimp 2.8 on Squeeze, and
installing Debian Testing ... to see what's wrong with my attempt to
compile Gimp 2.8.

To make long thing short - problems with compilation are caused by
dependencies of Gimp 2.8 dependencies. At some moment You end up with
upgrading gcc and half other system libraries. If only You can install
wheezy it should solve most of Your troubles.

There is one possible workaround: one user of this mailing list
approached similar problem on FreeBSD. Solution was building Gimp and
all it's dependencies in jail.
This way system was stable and Gimp 2.8 had all needed dependencies inside jail.
Unfortunately i can't remember where this instruction was and whether
it can be ported to Debian.

Thanks all for your replies ON THIS (as far as I know) NEW THREAD ( 
Michael, I am a subscriber).


It sounds like building 2.8 on Debian Squeeze is a (too) shaky 
proposition... as I do use it with some regularity, I should probably 
wait until the Debian packager  programmers resolve some of the 
dependency issues... (?) But I will persist, somehow/way...


I should have mentioned earlier, that my only desire is to have a 
stable/workable version of GIMP... I hesitate to uninstall 2.6.1 because 
of POSSIBLE issues regarding removals that might damage my system... 
namely 'gnome-office,'  I am just totally in the dark regarding what 
that piece of software is... but it sounds like something to do w/ the 
gui of the desktop... (advise appreciated here too).

You can build any number of gimps independent of each other.

First you need to understand that when you build something, it goes
hunting for libraries in a path specified by your environment.

So first thing to do is set the environment path for your console. Do
all your building out of the same console where these environment
variables have been set.

export PATH=/build_dir/gimp-2.8/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build_dir/gimp-2.8/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/build_dir/gimp-2.8/lib

Now cd into your source directory and

./configure --PREFIX=/build_dir

Configure may fail, READ the message on failure.

If it tells you that gegl is the wrong version, download babl and gegl
and then build babl first, then gegl using ./configure
--PREFIX=/build_dir


Run configure again from your gimp source, now if it tells you that
GTK is the wrong version, download the latest glib, gtk, atk,
gtk-pixbuf and pango and build them, again with ./configure
--PREFIX=/build_dir

Actually if you follow this tutorial,
http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/compiling-gimp-for-ubuntu

you could build the git version but would not recommend that, but
rather apply the principles to the source code.

And when you finish, start the program from the console;
# /build_dir/bin/gimp-2.x


Note also that the build_dir should not be /usr/local but rather
something like ~/user/gimp-2.x

  Does anyone on the list here, have any actual knowledge  or
  experience
  building GIMP 2.8x on Linux Debian Squeeze? My current version of GIMP
  is 2.6.1.

 You can build any number of gimps independent of each other.

The real issue is that Debian Squeeze is going to be too out of date to
make this easy.  For example, it has libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2, whereas gimp
I think needs 2.24 or later. The included version of gimp is 2.6.10.

At a guess Henry will need to build
. gimp
. gegl
. babl
. pango
. gtk2
. gdk2
. atk
. gtk-pixbuf
. harfbuzz (I think)
. cairo
. pixman
. glib
Probably a new autoconf will be needed, and likely a new gcc, libc, and
more.

Compare
. http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/gimp
. http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gimp


The tutorial for ubuntu would work with a newer Debian release.

However, http://azul.m.iguel.net/Blog/?entrada=73 has instructions for
building gimp 2.8 on Squeeze.
