the version update that mr. neary suggested gave me a new gimp that does
not have the problem.  thank you.

sorry for the delay.  it took longer to make gimp this time because (it
seems) that inspite of the interesting warning, all
--enable-gimp-console does is break make.  a more honest warning would
save time for honest users/groupies.

[Gimp-developer] Edit --Copy confusion

2004-05-18 Thread Carol Spears
i have been having a problem with my last cvs version of gimp.

i got it after it changed to gimp-2.0.  there is a problem with it.

i need the one without the Edit --Copy bug i read about.  i guess i
need to get a version from after a certain date but from before it
changed to that gimp-2.1 maddness i am glad not to be a part of.

as near as i can determine, i need to first, remember what you called it
and remember if i saw it on the list and try to figure out the search
words.  this might involve reviewing a lot of somewhat embarrassing mail
in which i get upset again.  

1) efficient search words for my Edit--Copy, Edit--Paste View problem

2) a cvs command that will request a version from a calendar date and
   not only the version (as bex and i documented fairly well on wgo)

cvs up -D -mm-dd HH:MM gimp
You might prefer sticking with the gimp-2.0 branch, though
cvs up -r gimp-2-0 gimp
I usually have 2 copies checked out of CVS in different directories:
cvs co -r gimp-2-0 -d gimp-2.0 gimp
cvs co -d gimp-2.1 gimp
That'll give you a CVS HEAD version and a stable branch version, in 
gimp-2.1 and gimp-2.0 respectively.

Cheers,
Dave.

well, see.  this is beautiful.  thank you.

 cvs up -r gimp-2-0 gimp
 

you know, i forgot that people were fixing bugs in this version as well.
instead of my rant about dejavu with weird bugs that seem more difficult
to make accidentally than on purpose and thank you for being willing to
work on the 2.0 branch as you are.

dejavu is disturbing even without a geek movie.  perhaps i should search
out the information in the Changelog to find the bugsmith?

 I usually have 2 copies checked out of CVS in different directories:
 cvs co -r gimp-2-0 -d gimp-2.0 gimp
 cvs co -d gimp-2.1 gimp
 
 That'll give you a CVS HEAD version and a stable branch version, in 
 gimp-2.1 and gimp-2.0 respectively.
 
okay, now you are showing off.  nice.

better you had done this when i needed you to, but whatever.

thank you,
carol

Would you mind to explain what bug you are refering to? If I remember
correctly the only confusion about Edit-Copy was that I mistakenly
used Selection-Copy in one of my mails.

when i Edit--Copy from an image with a 400% view (partial view so
imagine the scroll bars and the limited area showing) and Paste this
layer to an image with a 25% view (imagine the smaller view where the
whole image is in view) the 400% portion that can be seen is what gets
pasted; not the whole layer that was being copied.

Are you sure? I cannot reproduce this, neither with gimp-2.0 nor
gimp-2.1. And I can also not think of a way this could possibly
happen. The displayed area is in no way connected to the
selection. The part of the code that does copy and paste doesn't know
anything about the GimpDisplay and it's scale ratio and offsets.

the fact that you cannot reproduce it is somehow assuring to me.  not as
reassuring as a bug report number or search words to more efficiently
research it myself.

would screenshots be enough for you to believe i am having this problem?
i am even stuck on the best way to show this problem as it really all
could be created by me.  believing my screenshots you would have to
believe that i would never fake a problem with the gimp.

is there a more reliable way to communicate this to you?
