[Gimp-user] Blur plug-in
Hi, I'd like to get some feedback on the following plan for the Blur plug-in (details are in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142318): The plan is to remove the randomize and repeat functionality. That would allow us to also remove the (quite confusing) dialog. Filters-Blur-Blur would then be a simple blur with a 3x3 convolution kernel. It would be fast and easy to use but of course we it would be less powerful. So the question is, is anyone actually using this functionality? Are there scripts out there that rely on plug-in-blur-randomize to be available? Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Why not to simply add new plugin with 3x3 convolution and call it Blur? And leave old one with new name Random blur.

[Gimp-user] GIMP Conference stand?
Hi all, Do people think that it is worthwhile for the GIMP to have a stand at GUADEC? It would perhaps be a way to sell some t-shirts, have a couple of computers with people doing demos, and have an easy popint-of-contact for people when they were on their down-time. The problem is that it would need to have some work done for it - posters and banners, for example, and I will not be able to do that. Are there people who thionk this is a very good idea, who are prepared to put some time into preparing the stand and putting it up when we get to Norway? Please reply on the list, we can decide before the end of the week whether to do this depending on the response we get. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Because we are trying to simplify our menus. Suggesting to add yet another entry to the Blur menu is counter-productive. I've been asking for a use case; do you have one? We can always put the Randomized Blur plug-in to the registry and if someone really needs it, she can install it from there.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2004-06-07 at 1759.17 +0200): calling the convolution matrix plug in and scripts to preset it a simple replacement ? Well, what would you call a script that just puts a menu entry and calls convolution matrix with a fixed matrix? Please rephrase that to a powerful replacement that can be used by the more then average(new) gimp user. Would this mean having a script-fu menu entry fill convolution matrix for : blur/sharpen/edge detect etc. Those already exists. The ones I got have some extra controls, but nothing disallows making no dialog versions. 2. when using the randomize option the preview makes no real sense since by nature you'll never get twice the same result. Depends how the code is done, using pseudo random and taking into account 2d coord it should provide repeatable results. 4. If a bigger blur is needed use the gausian blur instead of repeating. They are different things, though, box vs guassian. GSR ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Steve and Bill,
I found the file you noted in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.It's the
only location on my system that has this particular file, although I do
have other *.pc files in another location /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig.
So, if I understand this correctly, if I eliminate the glib-2.0.pc
from /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, and then do another make install from
glib 2.2.3, it should recreate that file again in that directory, correct?
Now I'm just guessing, but there must be an alternate file with
2.3.6 version somewhere, else how is it getting that information?
BTW, here's the result from /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc:
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
glib_genmarshal=glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=gobject-query
glib_mkenums=glib-mkenums
Name: GLib
Description: C Utility Library
Version: 2.2.3
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include
The result of this file leads me to believe there is another source
where pkgconfig is getting it's outdated info, i.e, glib 2.3.6.

If you have a workable solution to get get Gimp 2.0.1 working on my system, I would be happy to continue this discussion. you could have just said yes, you are married the suse distribution. good luck! carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I would try to update the list of files the linker uses to find libraries to link by doing ldconfig as root. If that doesn't work then try editing /etc/ld.so.conf, or where ever that file is if you system uses this this and rearrange the paths for the libraries to list the version returned by pkg-config first. If you don't want to all that above, just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where your 2.2.3 glib is and that should fix this problem. Of course, I've read that this method is not a good thing to do because it does something bad but I don't remember what.

So, if I understand this correctly, if I eliminate the glib-2.0.pc from /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, and then do another make install from glib 2.2.3, it should recreate that file again in that directory, correct? Now I'm just guessing, but there must be an alternate file with 2.3.6 version somewhere, else how is it getting that information? BTW, here's the result from /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc: [...] The result of this file leads me to believe there is another source where pkgconfig is getting it's outdated info, i.e, glib 2.3.6. Robert ___ Robert, I believe you mentioned that you are using SuSE 9.0 now? I don't remember what versions of glib glib2 came with that now. I know a version 2.x, but don't remember the exact version without looking on my discs. Anyway, SuSE does have update files on their ftp to bring things up to 2.4 for glib2 at least. Since glib pertains to gtk and glib2 to the new gtk+, which I believe Gimp has also been updated to use, I'm pretty sure you won't find a 2.3 version of glib to use. Usually your odd versions are developer versions anyway. Be sure too, that you have all the -devel packages installed for compiling. I don't know how much you have been mucking around with your setup, but it sounds as if you might have gotten things wanky. You could always do a repair from your SuSE discs, to put things back or you could update to 9.1 and get Gimp 2.x in the process. ;o) You can also download the Gnome files from their ftp for 9.0 and probably settle things down too, if you are wanting to compile the newer version. One other thing, I believe in one of the mails, someone mentioned glibc. glibc is one of those things one should not mess with on their setup as it provides the base for all Linux. It is extremely fragile and updating or changing things are a bad idea. That's not to say one can't do it, but due to the nature of it's existence, it's recommended strongly not too!
