If there's no toolbox, try pressing the TAB key; if that doesn't work, check under the Windows menu for recently closed or to show the toolbox.

Can you help me? Yumiko ** I'm not tremendously familiar with the shortcuts and interface as they exist on Mac systems. If you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and are getting the same behavior, it might be that you've got some odd settings making their way into your configuration initially, and you just need to overwrite them. This may fail if the menubar is hidden, but on Windows, F10 raises the File menu, after which it should be possible to navigate over with arrow keys (or mouse?) and re-open any dialogs which have been hidden (Window menu's dropdown). If it gives you a Recently Closed list, then great... if not, then Layers, Channels, Paths, Tools, and Toolbox dialogs are the most commonly used. Right-clicking will give the same options as the top menubar, for me, even with no image open. The Tab key hides all dialogs except for the main window, so try tapping that to see what happens. Most View settings, such as Hide/unhide Menubar are disabled until you are editing a piece, so you may ⌘O or ⌘N to open an existing piece or create a new one after specifying dimensions. If you're getting any response from keyboard shortcuts, the user settings for your install are probably just weird, but should save on exit if you change it to a layout you like. If no shortcuts or menus are working, you may have a bad install, program-conflicts, registry-issues, missing dependencies, etc. Let us know the symptoms. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
Re: [Gimp-developer] Query about Brushes and names
On 10 September 2014 08:09, Andrew Francis u10...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Dear Sir or Madam, I do hope my query doesn't automatically go out to all developers - I don't want to pester everyone with it! My apologies if I have done so. I just have a query about GIMP and if it is possible to change names of brushes - the boxes that I would have expected to take input for names don't let me do so which is why I'm addressing this to developers directly. So - indeed, it is an UI issue -GIMP currently don't distinguish between resources, including brushes, which are marked as read only (either in the file system, or just marked as from a folder made read-only in the preferences). So, brush names for new brushes should be changeable - but to change the name of brushes that ship with GIMP you have to move then to a user writable location, and make the proper changes in the Brush folders page in the preferences. I notice also that there is a filter option and wondered how a person might tag brushes with filterable options? Maybe you are mistaking the brush name for brush tags? Please take a look at the documentation and check if that is the case: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tagging.html I attached an image with a couple of screenshots added in case I am not being clear - I don't know the names for the 'bits' and am just starting as a gimp user. The mail list does not accept attached files - if I had not addressed your issues correctly, please post your image somewhere on the web and send us the link. Also, you can try e-mailing the user list instead of here - there should be more people willing to help with day-to-day using issues than here.

Re: [Gimp-developer] OSX
You can download a build from my page www.partha.com. Should work from Snow Leopard all the way to Yosemite. If you do, let me know if you have issues.

Re: [Gimp-developer] OSX
Hi Partha, Thanks for that... it installed ok but I feel like I'm about to go through a why-oh-why moment (not your fault). So I installed it, it comes up in English, so I go the the UI option where, hooray, I find a Language option. Immediately followed by a groan because it offers me System Language and English. What is a person supposed to do if they're on a locale which Apple doesn't support? Like 99% of the world's languages... And I'm also dismayed that in spite of my many emails to the list where I tried to make triple sure that all was going smoothly for .14, we've hit this stumbling block. Really not happy right now. I've googled around a bit but I *really* can't promote this to people and tell them to mess around with shell scripts. But perhaps I'm wrong and there IS an easy way of changing this... fingers crossed I guess... go on, someone surprise me?

We got a preview of a 2.8.14 dmg available at http://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/osx/staging/ Made by Sven Claussner, and could use some testing. As Michael Schumacher wrote, I've made a 2.8.14 build right from the sources, i.e. with no additional tweaks, with just the standard set of plug-ins and with all the languages GIMP usually ships. It requires a 64 bit machine (Mac from 2006 and later, Mac mini from 2007 and later) and at least OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) I'm currently busy with trying to include the user manual and hopefully I can get the build done for older OS X versions, too. In the meantime please be a bit patient and good luck with the preview build. I'd be grateful for feedback if any blocking(!) bugs are found (and of course for positive feedback, too ;-) ).
