There is no such thing as the big UI overhaul. It also does not make
sense to work on temporary solutions. Instead someone needs to sit down
with the UI team and work out a complete solution for Save and Export,
and then start to implement it.

In that case I propose an IRC based scheduled and announced meeting on 
this topic with the UI team? That way anybody who wants to can give 
input and the output can be a complete spec for this. However the UI 
team seems to have vanished atm...

No need to hurry. We are now talking about changing the Save/Export
logic for almost a decade. If we can agree on the spec before 2.6 is
out, then we can put it on the roadmap for GIMP 2.8 and actually try to
get it done in time.

Re: [Gimp-developer] proposed solution for: protection from information loss

2008-06-09 Thread Michael Schumacher
 Von: Akkana Peck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 For that workflow, what would be even more useful is to be able to
 have a command that could do both: save the current .xcf (.gz or .bz2)
 AND, from the same menu item or keystroke, save a copy to a simpler
 format. Then you wouldn't have to go back and forth between Save and
 Save a Copy every time you make a change, and you wouldn't have to
 confirm the copy's filename every time you saved it.

Something like this has been brought up during the first usability meeting, 
where some of the boring tasks a user has to do have been identified.

 It would be great if it were possible to write a plug-in that would
 do that, even if gimp didn't include it natively. It would need to
 get the current filename (that's easy already, gimp-image-get-filename)
 and also what the last save a copy filename was (not so easy --
 I don't think there's an API to get that now, is there?)

For ages I've heard rumours about a feature that lets file save plug-ins pass a 
save operation throught to other save plug-ins. I'm not sure if this does 
exists, as I haven't seen any example yet (to be fair, I didn't search, 
either), but maybe this can be used here.


HTH,
Michael

[Gimp-developer] gimpgallery 0.8 ...now's the time

2008-06-09 Thread davide|gimpgallery
I'm proud to present the last gimpgallery release, 0.8.
You find it at http://test.gimpgallery.net

As you may already know gimpgallery is a project of a gimp website
especially meant to host and show images and to share xcf sources too.
It is the first attempt to create a community of gimp artists, giving
them a suitable space for their works, projects and ideas.
Gimpgallery is made with drupal, the well known opensource cms and we
started developing it from inkscapegallery (http://inkscapegallery.net).
It was already a good social network software, with most of the features
you're getting used to but we worked a lot to make it even better.
This new release presents many improvements since the last announce and
a better cross browsing. We're supporting firefox 2, opera 9x, ie7 and
ie6 (there are a couple of disclaimer for ie users). There's an issue
with konqueror, instead, due to a javascript not supporting it.
We fixed a lot of issues with internet explorer, as you may see on the
random gallery at http://test.gimpgallery.net/slideshow

If you're a gimp user try it out, every gimp artist now has its own
profile, gallery and slideshow
We made a new home page (http://test.gimpgallery/home) and we are
trying to make things work like we wish to.
gimpgallery is an image gallery website, it doesn't produce news or
tutorials, so we took some rss feeds from the best internet resources
about gimp and we placed in the home page, giving infos and links.

Indeed, we're trying to build a network of gimp websites, everyone with
its own attitude, so we will link gimptutorials.net for didactics,
gimp.org  and gimpusers.com for the news and we would like them to link
us when a user will look for images.
In the home page you see an arrangement for a new feature, an
interview with a gimp artist that we might change every week or
something like that, it is called a few words with...

There's a fully customized submission and registration skin, that is
quite new in the drupal world. We must test it so we hope you to help us
registering and posting many contents. We have the forum where to inform
us about bugs or software's bad behaviors  .

I don't want to annoy you with a long description (even because there
would be too much to say :-) i just ask you to spend ten minutes of
your time to browse it and i ask you to do this deeply, because there's
a lot to see.
Don't mind the images actually, 'cause we have only a few images really
coming from gimp artists, some others come from inkscapegallery and they
stand only for test.
I hope you to like it as it is, but we still have the chance to make
some changes it the layout, we focused on features actually and we hope
them to really meet the requirements.

As soon as we have enough images we will bring it online at its own
address: http://gimpgallery.net  and i think it will be funny :-)
Greetings,
Da.

  OK, I'm processing Nikon D200 NEF (RAW) photos with gimp and ufraw.
  ufraw shows the exif data properly.
 
  When I edit the photo in gimp and go to save with the standard settings,
  the exif data do not show up on my pbase website.  This is a new
  behavior as exif data have always shown up before.

 the opensuse team that is maintaining gimp/ufraw does not believe that
 exif data is important to the project and do not include support for
 exif.  I questioned stbinner at suse dot de several years ago (iirc)
 and was imformed.  Perhaps several questions/comments from different
 users would convince them otherwise.  Maintainers names appear in the
 changelog comments.


I just checked the build logs for more recent Suse versions and ufraw does 
definitely have exif support.
