I used 'display' to manipulate a test image, and it complained about
not being able to lock the image file. I'm quite sure that The GIMP was
the only other program accessing that file, and it was all on a local
file system. I have no other explanation than that both programs were
contending for a lock.

not quite. The GIMP should have a feature to open a file read-only,
then, as other programs also want to get a lock on them. Makes at least
a lot of noise...

Bug#600178: gimp: please add a 'reload' feature

2010-10-14 Thread Toni Mueller
Package: gimp
Version: 2.6.10-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream


Hi,

I'm using Gimp not only to create images, but also to view images that
are generated by different programs. Currently, there appears to be no
way to refresh an image, once loaded, from the underlying file. It would
be nice if such a feature could be added, so that I can press 'reload'
and see the updates in Gimp.


Kind regards,
--Toni++
