[Gimp-developer] Dialog layouts in 2.2pre1
Hi, I have used the development version for some time now and there are many improvements which I really appreciate. However, I have a couple of questions about two of the dialogs which have changed. 1. What is the advantage of the new file selection dialog? I find it much more difficult to use (even after having stumbled across the ctrl+L facility). 2. Why has the scale factor (ratio) has been removed from the image scale dialog? I personally found it very useful. Keith ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

It also features a Win32 backend and in the future it will allow GIMP to work on remote files (if we figure out how to use gnome-vfs w/o pulling in too many dependencies). It is also expected that Search capabilities will be added in the future (see http://primates.ximian.com/~federico/docs/file-chooser-extension-spec/) If you are missing keyboard navigation in the file chooser, you might want to try a recent GTK+ development snapshot. There have been some improvements in that area. Yes all the features you mention above are technically very nice, and make it more in line with the standard windows file dialog. However, at the moment it is just plain annoying because it takes longer to select the file I want. Since this is a common task it makes using the new version frustrating to use when I don't dnd from my browser. I will try the latest GTK development snapshot to see if it's any better. 2. Why has the scale factor (ratio) has been removed from the image scale dialog? I personally found it very useful. It hasn't been removed but got integrated with the units menu. This has been suggested by users a while ago. Thanks, I'd not found that. The previous dialog suited the way I work better, but being able to select the percentage is OK.

[Gimp-developer] Re: gimp-1.3.19 ./configure failure oddity
Hi, Sven Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: An additional effect that I have noticed only with the gimp, is that make crashes repeatedly during the compile. I was wondering if this meant I was running out of temp disk, but I still have close to 2G left on the root filesystem, so that isn't it; I have tried compiling with and without /usr/local/lib in the ld.so.conf file and both compiles crash (segfault) after compiling for a long time. Note that if I simply reissue the make command the compile picks up where it left off, and eventually I get a brand new gimp. Has anybody seen problems like these, and can you suggest any possible causes or other places to look? It's not a show-stopper, but it certainly has been leaving me baffled. This sounds very much like a hardware problem. Unsufficient cooling or corrupted memory could be the cause. It's not too unlikely that such problems only show up when compiling a large software package such as The GIMP. You could do some tests compiling other software such as the kernel or XFree86. It's a long-shot, but I had exactly this problem when I was using libsafe. Disabling it for the configure and compile fixed it.
