[Gimp-developer] brush manager
With these new cool options for the gimp 2.4, I can't seem to find information about whether or not there will be a brush manager. In gimp 2.2, it's getting rather messy in that folder when you have a number of brushes, it gets hard to organize, plus it seems to add to the time gimp takes to load. There is a python script around that provides a kind of brush management, so you can toggle sets on and off. Basically it works like this: you have an active brush folder, which is the directory you tell gimp to load the (extra) brushes from, and there is the folder where all the brushes, and sets are located. the script creates a small gui with a list and a checkbox. you check which brushes you want active, it then copies those to the active brush folder, and after a brush reload, you have your brushes at your disposal. Obviously if you uncheck them, the script removes them from the active brush folder. I've googled quite a bit, and can't find a thing about brush management, well, rather a brush manager for the gimp above version 2.2 (which includes 2.4) I'm rather curious, is a brush manager in the works? that would be a very nice addition. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Feel free to write it after 2.4 :) There is an open source (hosted by SourceForge) brush manager for The-Application-I-May-Not-Name-Here, so you have something to look at.

My own feeling is that it would be better to wait until there is
some experience with the post-2.4 GIMP and higher definition
colour models before changing any of the colour tools.
* Different Color models are fairly irrelevant to Hue-Saturation
adjustment, because HSV is a simple transform of the RGB colorspace --
it's either going to expect RGB or (the currently not-implemented, and
of dubious use) HSV color format.
If you're working with CMYK (say) you may want the saturation tool
to tell you if you have over-inked, as PhotoShop can. Or to
preview with or without undercolour removal. Or to select which
channels are shown. I'd say that the implication of adding
support for more colour models is that people will want to do
more, and that the UI will need to enable that (or the programmers
will need to decide not to let people do those things, of course :-) )
* I think what Guillermo, Danko, and Marius are doing is both good and
timely. ('now' is always a good time to work on enhancing such
technically simple tools.)
It turns out that post-2.4 GIMP is closer than I'd feared, and I am
sorry if I sounded negative, I didn't mean to.

There was a 2006 Google Summer of Code project for this. If it had been completed, there would be a brush manager in GIMP 2.4, but it wasn't (the student is not to blame, he focused on something completely different instead). Maybe the same project can be proposed for the 2008 GSOC? Karine ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Missing button to confirm some tool actions (usability)
Clicking inside the cropped region also implements the action. It's actually a feature I'm not sure I like because it deviates from the rectangle tool's implementation of the same action - to hide the handles. Well, I don't know if that's what the implementation is technically but that's what it effectively does and it's what I use it for. So my instinct with the crop tool is to do the same thing, to get a feel for how the crop might look. and it goes ahead and performs the action before I'm ready for it to. Undo fixes the problem but it's still annoying. I like the idea of an accept button to the right or left of the status bar. I don't think most users would think to look in the properties dialogue for the action and there's really no other logical place for it to go. I seem to remember buttons being in there for other tasks. I would presume that most users who don't know the keyboard controls aren't going to hide the status bar. ---AV Spam Filtering by M+Guardian - Risk Free Email (TM)--- ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Actually, clicking when there is a pending rectangle does the same thing for both; execute the tool. You can confirm this by adding a rectangle to an existing rectangle with the Rectangle Select Tool, (hold Shift before creating the second rectangle), click (to execute), and click again. You will not get second rectangle back, but a rectangle that covers the entire selected area (which is a feature actually). - Martin Nordholts ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
