  There is a boolean value called hig_compliant in

  preferences dialog.
 
 Whoa. So this only exists for the preferences dialog? Or is there
 another reason not to have this on by default?

This exists for the preference dialog only. The main reason for not
enabling this is that either all of GIMP should use the HIG suggested
frame style or none of it. Since GTK+ does still not provide a widget
to easily create a HIG-conform user interface, I'm not sure if we can
get this done for 2.2. It would probably involve ading a GimpFrame
widget to libgimpwidgets and port massive amounts of code to using
this instead of GtkFrame. Still looking for a volunteer for this
job...

 Hi Carol,
 
 I've been lurking on and off for years. Considering Propaganda was only made
 possible by GIMP, I owe much of my own fame (or infamy, as it were) to this
 project.
 
 I don't think I'd ever put Propaganda back up again, the way it used to be.
 Considering that VA systematically porked the Linux community (seen their
 homepage lately? They're pimping SourceForge as a tool to help companies
 outsource overseas.), the real enemy wasnt Microsoft. It was VA.
 
what if i asked you nicely to put the site back up?  not question your
gui changes at all, just a real honest request from a fan?

I am not sure if it makes sense to speak of a Layers dialog here. This
is just a dock that happens to contain the Layers tab (which should
probably be called Layers dialog). What you describe here is the
default setup but you cannot assume that the user does not customize
this setup.

Movement Grouping Indicator seems rather odd. Internally we speak
about linked items; I'm not sure if this is used somewhere in the
user interface also. This linked state does not only affect movement,
it also applies to transformations.

Interesting.  I did not know that.  You learn something every day.

Hmm.  With Dialogs-Create New Dock you are given a choice of three
types of docks.  The Layers etc dock is special because it contains
the Layers menu at the top -- there is no way to put this menu in any
other dock.  Also the Layers dialog is something no user can live 
without.  Thus, this particular kind of flexibility is just an option
to make things awkward, so it seems reasonable to treat the Layers dialog,
as created by Dialogs-Create New Dock-Layers, Channels  Paths as
part of the standard interface, at least for purposes of describing
it to new users.

So how about Linkage Indicator, then?

Best,

[Gimp-developer] Adjustment-layers in GIMP?

2004-04-01 Thread Baard Ove Kopperud
I must shamefully admit that I have yet to try GIMP 2.0, so
if adjustments-layers is part of it, then I appolegize for
post.
+++

I've been using both PhotoShop and GIMP for some time, and
one of the few things from PS I really *miss* in GIMP is
the ability to make adjustment-layers -- i.e. layers that
contains *only* adjustments (curves, levels, hue-sat., color
balance) and not any picture... however, when you look at
underlaying layers through it, they are as if you'd applied
those adjustments to them.  Adjustment-layers makes it
very easy to test out the result of multiple adjustments,
as you can make several adjustment-layers and turn one or
more of the visible -- thus applying that/those adjustments
to the picture.
I was therefor wondering if GIMP has such fuctionality --
either buildt-in or through plug-ins (and it's just me who
haven't found it), if it's just been introduced (with 2.0), if
it's something that's being worked on, or if it for some
reason can't or won't be added... ever.

This falls into the category of frequently asked questions.
They are often called effect layers; the answer is that GIMP 2.0
does not have them, but they are highly desired; it is expected
that they will be much easier to implement once GIMP is ported
to the new GEGL architecture.

 I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, but I'll
 try to explain how it works (from the users pov) in PS...
 
okay, i am at a disadvantage here as i am not a photoshop user nor a
gimp developer -- however, i will try to describe what the developers
need before they will help you.

API is the new thing but there used to be such a thing as RF* as well.
these ideas are a set of rules that code should follow.  a plan or a
same path thing.  since they do not copy photoshop, a list of the
rules involving this adjustment layer would need to be published
somewhere for everyone to review -- pick apart -- optimize, search for
redundancies and agree on definitions and naming.

somewhere in all the API goings on, RTFM is usually happening also.
perhaps you could paste a url with the technical aspects of what you are
asking for.
