[Gimp-developer] David's Batch Processor release for Gimp 1.3
Hi, I finally got around to installing Gimp 1.3 and making the necessary changes to DBP, a batch processing plugin for Gimp. The 1.3-compatible version is now available from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html Let me know if there are any problems. -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

[Gimp-developer] GIMP at the 20C3
Hi, just a quick mail to let you know that, as usual, a couple of GIMP developers will be hanging out at the annual Chaos Communication Congress: http://www.ccc.de/congress/2003/ So, if you live close enough, consider to join us. Perhaps we can even get a GIMP talk prepared. Or perhaps not, but the event is certainly worth a visit. This year the conference is in a nice new location close to the famous Blinkenlights building. Looking forward to meet you there... Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I didn't say this. What I said is that the package definitely doesn't work with the latest GIMP-1.3 releases and that rebuilding the package will not fix this. You will need to use a recent CVS checkout. I also kindly asked you to consider changing the name of the package.

I suspect that the package was built from CVS then. If it was built from CVS in August, then it won't work with the latest 1.3 releases. For that reason, I kindly ask you to remove this package. If you want to, you can build a new one based on the current state in CVS, but please don't name it gimp2-freetype until the 2.0 API is completely frozen and it can be sure that the package will indeed work with GIMP-2.0.

Well, what exactly did you package? gimp2-freetype sounds like it should be working with gimp2 which isn't even released yet, so the package name is certainly bad choosen. Is this built from CVS or from one of the released tarballs? There have been two releases so far: - gimp-freetype-0.2 is for GIMP-1.2 - gimp-freetype-0.3 is for an earlier GIMP-1.3 API and won't work with latest GIMP-1.3 releases I will probably do another gimp-freetype release for GIMP-2.0. However the usefulness of gimp-freetype for GIMP-2.0 is questionable since the text tool has most of its features already (and a few more).
