File-new from an image window copies the characteristics of that window, too, so I now find myself creating grayscale images all the time. Ideally if you minimized the last open image, the toolbox and docks would minimize with it. Unfortunately this only works if you enable transient-docks and this setting has other issues.

[Gimp-developer] Script-Fu Command Priority
Hi there, the GIMP Script-Fu engine doesn't make a difference between registered definitions and local ones. This could be a problem, because if I write a script with a local function, but another script has that function too, GIMP could use the other function. With many scripts in the scripts folder it's hard to find out, which script causes the problem. It would be nice if GIMP could prefer local definitions to global ones or if just registered definitions would go global.

Hi there, the GIMP Script-Fu engine doesn't make a difference between registered definitions and local ones. This could be a problem, because if I write a script with a local function, but another script has that function too, GIMP could use the other function. With many scripts in the scripts folder it's hard to find out, which script causes the problem. This is right; however, I think it is better to educate ourselves only to define local functions in local scope, i.e. within a define form, which is perfectly feasonable. Functions local to a script should be truly local, but please consider the case of library functions. It would be nice if GIMP could prefer local definitions to global ones or if just registered definitions would go global.

You need to do export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ You also need: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib You will also need to do this when running your copy of gimp. To remind me, I have a shell script, lgimp, that runs the local gimp with: #! /bin/sh # export MALLOC_CHECK_=1 GEGL_NO_NODE_CACHES=1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib BABL_ERROR=0.0 exec /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.5 $@ you probably don't need the GEGL_NO_NODE_CACHES or BABL_ERROR settings, though, so you could use, #! /bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib exec /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.5 $@ A simpler alternative is to put gimp in a place like $HOME/gimp where it won't conflict with any installed version of gimp.
