 negative depth, in addition to positive integers, would it then
 achieve the "engraved" effect ?

I think the effect you are talking about is called 'Carve-It'.

Greetings, all!

Yesterday evening I uploaded the patches, source, and binary RPMs for gimp 
and gimp-data-extras to gimp.org for the 1.2.0 version of the GIMP.

They should become available sometime in the near future once they get 
moved out of the 'incoming' area of the FTP server.

GIMP 1.2.0 source and binary RPM files

2001-01-02 Thread Kevin Cozens

Greetings, all!

I now have source RPM files. I will be uploading the patches, source and
binary RPMs to gimp.org later today. These files will become available for
downloading once they have gone through whatever process contributed files
go through.

The RPMs I have are for both gimp-1.2.0 and gimp-data-extras. The binary
RPM files were compiled on a machine running RedHat 6.2.

If anyone is desparate to have RPMs and can't wait for the files to be
available via gimp.org, let me know and I will arrange to make them
available on a website. I won't send the spec and patch files through the
mailing list to save peoples already overflowing mailboxes.

You may now jump up and down, and cheer (or not).  :-)

I've taken a look at the patch, Marco. For some reason all your patches
were rejected when I tried to apply them so I recreated the patches.
However, I am only using four of the six patches you provided.

--- gimp-1.2.0lm/plug-ins/perl/Makefile.PL.orig Fri Dec 29 14:03:30 2000

left it out for now.

+++ gimp-1.2.0lm/plug-ins/Makefile.in   Fri Dec 29 14:12:30 2000

I also did not use this patch. As far as I can tell this file does not need
a DESTDIR patch. It is determining which argument to pass to the make in
the sub-directories based on how this level make was invoked.

Last night I compared the contents of the .rpm files created using my
updated .spec file against the files installed in to the directory tree
used for the CVS based version of GIMP. I feel I am picking up everything
that my development version was installing so I am making a patch for the
ChangeLog file. I will then do one more build to verify everything is ok
and release the patches.

After this, I will create a spec file for gimp-data-extras. I will also
compare the source tree for the GIMP 1.2.0 which I downloaded as a tar ball
and compare it against the CVS version I downloaded fresh last night. I
know there are some patches that were made to the original 1.2.0 so I will
try and incorporate them in to the .src.rpm if there is not already an
updated file with the latest patches at gimp.org already available.

I'm tempted to have my name put down as the maintainer of the .spec file as

I managed to take a quick look in to this. I believe the problem is not
with the spec file but with the Makefile's. The 'make install' invoked by
the spec file is installing gimp, gimp-tool, gimp-remote, and a sym link
for gimp-config in to /usr/bin instead of into the directory specified by
the prefix= and PREFIX= arguments passed on the command line to the make

Check for paths in the 'gimprc' file under the directory where you

In the main gimprc file there is a path called 'prefix' which is the main

Alternatively, you could grab the source and compile it yourself. This

   I was thinking of only pushing the undo when you release the slider.
   That doesn't help those using the keyboard to nudge the slider though.

I just had an idea re: the undo stack. It shouldn't matter whether changes
are done via keyboard or via mouse. Not pushing an undo on to the stack
until the mouse release would help (ie. when adjusting sliders or spin
buttons) but only affects mouse operations. The more generic solution is to
check the last entry of the undo stack before pushing something on to the
undo stack.

If someone is nudging a given slider, a check would show that the last
operation on the undo stack is a change to that same slider. You would then
throw out that stack entry and push the latest change to the stack. This
assumes that the operation being done a bit at a time does not affect an
image being worked on. If the user nudges different sliders each time, then
you would save each nudge of a slider (for example).

The tricky part might be to determine whether the last item on the undo
stack caused a change to an image. Changes to image previews should
probably be ignored.

I'm not suggesting this be done for 1.2 as I suspect its too likely to wind
up adding bugs to the GIMP. It would help to maximize the use of the undo
stack, however.

CodeWarrior is correct in its message. The variables are being defined the

issue the redefinition message as a warning or as an error?

Even though -Wall is specified, gcc accepts it without even a warning. I

2000-02-13 Thread Kevin Cozens


My usage pattern is

Fill = Undo = Swap Colours = Fill = Swap Colours
^
+ insert a "this damnit fill braindamage e3stD%$DFZG§ gimp thing"
  here.

Apart form the API changes (breaking _some_ plug-ins), I highly welcome
that change. But I'd also say it was not a bug. "but but" now is a good
time to change that.

So I am not the only one that has the usage pattern with fill listed above. 
I don't know if its from other graphics programs I have used or just what 
made sense to me but I expected fill to use the foreground colour. I mean 
after all, you don't expect the pencil tool to draw with the background colour.

 From some of the other comments on the mailing list here, perhaps its 
something that should be changed after 1.2 is out. Many scripts may have to 
be adjusted and some of us may have to adjust the way we use GIMP slightly 
but I think it makes more sense to fix something that is a little odd 
rather than live with it forevermore IMHO.

Re: Translation inconsistency

2000-01-31 Thread Kevin Cozens


If you need to tell USERS something important then it should not be
in these strings, you should rather write a paragraph for the GUM.

  (B) don't mark the strings for translation, not in the core, neither in
  the plug-ins

It depends on what is meant by having something important to tell the 
users. If the information is just letting the user know how to do something 
or what a particular feature does this should be in the manual. If its a 
message as a result of a run time situation (input needed from the user, 
status message, or an error message) this should be translated based on the 
users specified language.

Re: [gimp-devel] Re: End-user feedback: Perl logulator innerbevel

2000-01-25 Thread Kevin Cozens


  If re-reporting the bug is so painful that you can't do it

It is so painful because I re-reported it at least three times (so many
mails are in my saent-folder, but I know I sent more that got lost during
a crash).

  They are not SO critical that I have been unable to use script-fu

They are ciritcal enough that some plug-ins (like the logulator) never
worked because of it.

Could you provide the subject line of any one of the messages when you 
reported the problems with script-fu which you say have not been fixed 
and/or a date when one of the messages was posted to the list?

I am searching the mailing list archives but there are so many messages I 
haven't found it yet. Using "script-fu" as a search criteria only 206 
messages were found. I haven't found one yet which seems to mention 
script-fu problems in the subject line.

I did find the following message from around May of 1999:

1. Gimp segfaults on the first PDB call to gimp_paintbrush.

The reason is that the pointer "paintbrush_options" (app/paintbrush.c) is
NULL as it isn't initialized automatically.

I haven't checked but if other tools use a similar technique these also
won't work. (I also haven't checked wether this depends on the global
paint options setting).

2. Also, could somebody tell me how I can set the tool options? I seem 
unable to
use gradients from my scripts.

3. How do I use the ink tool? There seems to be now way of using it from
scripts.

4. --with-mp=yes slows down the paintbrush tool by approximately 5791%, if
not more. (seriously, drawing a line takes 5 seconds instead of 0.2), this
was tested with the Circle (01) brush. The same is true for the pencil
tool but NOT for the ink tool, which is still fast.

I don't the above is script-fu related as such. This is all I was able to 
find so far.

Re: get terrence brannon OFF these lists

1999-11-20 Thread Kevin Cozens

When you join the list, you get directions
on how to unsubscribe.  A rational being,
a thoughtful being, a being who belongs on
a technical list, will save these instructions,
and use them if needed.

This is true. However, the list changed from being based on majordomo to
ezmlm and the instructions changed. The new instructions were e-mailed out
to all on the list and the new info should have been saved.

Also, the information could have been sent directly to the individual and
saved some of the discussions on this list.


Cheers!

Re: Help System

1999-11-11 Thread Kevin Cozens

Why not allow the user to choose his/her browser of choice ?
With Netscape, Mozilla, the Gnome Help Browser, kfm, or even
Lynx in an xterm as possible choices, I don't see any problem with this...

So Gimp help should be a set of HTML files and a small exec to launch the
preferred browser (calling process already running if needed, a la moz
remote).

GSR

You beat me to it. I was about to suggest that the simplest solution is to
create simple HTML files for use as help and let the user use whatever
browser they prefer to use in order to view the help files. This is
essentially what is done in a Windows based HTML editor known as
Dreamweaver (as if you really care what a Windows program does  :-).

Re: bmp-plugin

1999-11-03 Thread Kevin Cozens

Do you have example 16-bit and 32-bit BMP files, and also examples of
non-working RLE images? I have been collecting images which broke Gimp
for some time now to check for regression in new builds.

I have a 16-bit BMP file I can send you. If you want it, tell me where to
send it. I should tell you that it is a 1280x960 pixel BMP with 16-bit
colour depth. It was created from a .jpg using Netscape to turn it into
Windoze wallpaper. Its 2,401kb in size.

I will update my copy of GIMP and the bmp plug-in and see if I can load the
image.
