Colour Picker -forbidden- ?

2000-07-27 Thread Nick Lamb

What is the "forbidden" colour picker mouse cursor for? By this I mean
the cursor where the picker is joined by a crossed-out circle, the
universal symbol for prohibition.

There doesn't seem to be any situation in which the picker doesn't work
(perhaps you could argue that its not working when the read-outs say
N/A but then why have such a reading?)

If there is a good reason for this cursor, is it OK to change it so that
the picker remains the "hotspot" even when the forbidden icon appears,
at the moment the behaviour is (try it) disconcerting.

Nick.

A: do you have the gif libraries installed?

B: is your image in indexed color format?  If not, specify foo.gif
and let the gimp export it for you.

eh? are you working with rgb graphics? just try typing in a name of

actually, it's all part of a secret plot to rid the web of animated
gifs. sorry you had to be a casualty.

I compiled the latest gimp-1.1.24 and the ability to save gif formats is
highlited out.
What gives?  Is this a license issue?

Can we expect some type of grouping and other layer management stuff
implemented by then ;-) Getting to GDynText layer nr. 12398765 in a
linear list could be pretty frustrating.

Sorry chaps, couldn't resist...

grts & keep up the good work - it is hugely appreciated,

IIRC, GTK+ limits us to 32768 layers. At least that's the maximum number of
layers the L&C-dialog can handle. This will change with GTK+-1.4 which moves
this barrier up to somewhere around 2^31.
