Tablet and multiple active Areas / Pointer Window Mode
Hi all. I have defined two active Areas on my tablet, one generates core-events, one not. See the part in the XF86Config. SubSection "WacomStylus" Port"/dev/ttyS0" DeviceName "Stylus Pen 2" ModeAbsolute Suppress10 Serial 2564817921 TopX0 TopY0 BottomX 15240 BottomY 12180 # AlwaysCore EndSubsection SubSection "WacomStylus" Port"/dev/ttyS0" DeviceName "Stylus Pen 2" ModeAbsolute Suppress10 Serial 2564817921 TopX15240 TopY12180 BottomX 20320 BottomY 16240 AlwaysCore EndSubsection From the X-Server point of view it works as expected. But the idea was: I want to use the bigger area in the top left corner in Window-Mode and the bottom Left corner as Quickpoint-area. The Problem is: Gimp detects two different devices with the same name. So it is impossible for me (without a mouse or using the menus) to change the "windowed" Pen to another tool, because the Quickpoint-Area is an own extended device. Is it possible for Gimp to treat two XInput-Devices as the same "Gimp-"Device? Bye, Simon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/
UI consistency in Gimp
Hello Gimpers Some items that I think need a shape up before 1.2. I know code it or move away, but I thought you might want to know anyway. The info window is very nice but it is not explored to it's fully functionality. First of all it's not auto switched which IMHO is mandatory. The measure tool and the status info (i.e the pos in the image currently displayed in the status bar). Not that I'm not saying that it should be present in a popup (measure) or in the status bar. I'm just saying that the info should also be present in the info window. The nav widow should be integrated into the info window or at least the nav window should be auto switched (which IMHO is mandatory). Gimp has number of mod keys when you make selections. This makes the select commands very powerful but hard to control. In my opinion it's better to have an option for pure circles and squares, instead of a modkeys. There are simply to many funcs pressed in to mod key combinations at the moment (i.e this is not intuitive). When you move a selection you get a floating section IMNSHO this is _not_ good. It should be the selection it self you move, Alt + Move (selection) creates a floating selection which you can also move. Why? It's irritating to always get a float. We will enter the windows world Win32 Gimp and it's more common to have the move tool to move the selection it self. I think the constant ratio is a bit confusing or at least I can't get it to work in intersect and minus mode. I think it also would be very nice to set only one way as fixed e.g only one pixel wide but unlimited range in height. (I might miss some of the trillion short cut keys, but as I said they are to many at the moment to hold in your (my) tiny head).

Real design bugs can´t be solved for 1.2, so either we can do it painlessly or we can´t do it (in 1.2). bugfixing way... Otherwise I would suggest du disable i18n for plug-ins which on the other hand is a bad solution because localisation is a I´m not sure LANG=de works extraordinarily good for me... no extra menus or other problems anymore, so I think we should only disable the languages that don´t work. On the GIMP booth at the Systems we have had some really nice discussions about this, also with firms which use GIMP for web publishing. Just Yes ;- But these ideas were mostly aimed at 1.3, no?

Using GIMP Plug-ins with other Apps?
HI; I may be interested in using GIMP plugins with a special-purpose application I'm developing. Is anyone aware of anybody having done this? (That is, using GIMP plug-ins with something other than GIMP). I've read through gimplib and plug_in.c and broadly understand the interface, but if anyone actually has done this I'd be interested in their experience. I just want to be able to easily add a nice library of filters to my app and the GIMP Plug-ins certainly fit the bill. Please CC me as I have not joined the list. Thanks in advance; Bill Dolson
