 I have a black  white image of a texte document, I would like to
 eliminated the isolated pixel (small group of 1 to 5 pixels in the
 white area of the page) to keep only the black text.

 Anyone have a suggestion to select those isolated pixels with Gimp ?

Despeckle should be able to do that, give it a try.

 Thanks. That did at least allow me to locate the spec again:

 Well, for the fun of it, I've added XDS support to GIMP now. Anyone
 who's using ROX or any other XDS capable desktop / file manager, might
 want to try latest CVS and give feedback.
 
 Perhaps if the nautilus and konqueror developers get to know of this
 change in GIMP, they will consider to add support for XDS as well...

Great! Would it be possible to put the preview in the Save dialog,
though, next to the name entry? It's not possible to set the name when
dragging from the toolbox, so everything ends up being called 'Untitled' :-(

Thanks,

That is something that only the GTK+ developers can do.

Actually this is something that surprised me about XDS. It doesn't
specify how to handle untitled documents. I was expecting that if I
don't set a leafname as content of the XdndDirectSave0 property,
that the file-manager I am dragging the image to would ask me for the
filename. I had it implemented that way first but rox-filer gave me
an error message:

  XdndDirectSave0 target provided, but the atom
  XdndDirectSave0 (type text/plain) did not contain a leafname

I have thus changed the XDS code in GIMP to always provide a leafname,
using Untitled.xcf if no other name has been set.

The XDS spec could need a few changes, clarifications. It would be
nice if the empty leafname would be accepted and it would also be nice
if the spec was more clear about the filename encoding.

[Gimp-user] gimp crashed while saving

2005-03-26 Thread Hans Henrik Hansen
This evening I installed GIMP 2.0 under SuSE 9.2/KDE3.3.0

I wanted to add some text layers to a .jpg-file - five layers altogether.
When I attempted 'save as' GIMP crashed, and all my work was gone! :(
One more attempt ended same way - finally I got through by saving one layer at 
a time!

I am wondering if this is normal GIMP behavio(u)r??

Regards,
Hans

Normal Gimp behavior seems to be to not work much at all. And normal 
behavior on the support forums seems to be to ignore requests for 
assistance.

It's a good thing Photoshop works.

There is a a couple known bugs in SuSE dealing with JPEGs.  I can't imagine
that being the problem since you are going to save this as a XCF so you keep
your layer support, but SuSE updates for the JPEG libraries might still be
worth looking into.

 behavior on the support forums seems to be to ignore requests for

I'm sorry you feel that way.  Since we are using anecdotal evidence, I
haven't seen GIMP crash in quite some time, and I use it to do some pretty
funky stuff on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.  Whenever I have asked for help,
and provided information on my problem, I have received prompt and
knowledgable assistance.  I try to do the same when I know the answer.  I
don't do any prepress work, so I'm not much help there.  My specialties
lie more with image formats, GIS, and machine vision.

 It's a good thing Photoshop works.

Funny, it never has for me :)  A little more seriously, if you are feeling
that put upon, write me privately, and I will do my best to find you an
answer.

Jeff
