For about six months I've been having a problem with the
Start Up. It's fine until it gets to Fonts then all of
the sudden it freezes up and usually causes my computer
to freeze up too. I have gone through all of my fonts and
none of them are giving me any trouble in Word or Paint.
Does any one know what's going on?


Probably a problem with Gimp's font-cache.

Try this:

search for a file called
.fonts-cache-1

(With Gimp for Windows, it is in
Documents and Settings/username
dont ask me where it is under Linux or other systems ...)

Rename it.

Start Gimp.
This will take quite long as the font-cache is rebuilt.

Exit Gimp.

Start Gimp.
It should start up in normal time again.

[Gimp-user] Fill with a gradient color: change and not redo

2006-08-20 Thread Jean-Christophe Roux
Hello,I have used the blend tool to fill a layer with a gradient background. Nice. Now I'd like to change the opacity, do I really have to redraw the gradient from scratch? I cannot find a way to select the layer, adjust the gradient opacity and see the result. I must be missing something basic with Gimp!ThanksJCR

What about using the master opacity slider in the 'Layers' dialog?

2006-08-20 Thread Jean-Christophe Roux
Chris,Yes that solves my problem of adjusting the opacity; but what if I want to play with the offset or the repeat? To repeat the same drag, I must jolt down somewhere the starting point and the blend parameters otherwise I don't really have a chance to redo the exact same thing. Maybe add to the Blend dialog, the possibility to enter the values for the start point and the blend, which could be saved in Save Options, and with a button to automatically draw the gradiant without using the mouse. Maybe there is currently a better way of doing that.

Hi,
you can always fire up a script-fu console, and call the 
gradient-related entries in the procedure database by hand. That wya, 
you can re-issue a previously typed line and change jsut the values 
you want.

The help on the pdb functions can be found on Xtns-PDB browser, and 
the Script-fu console under Xtns-Scrip-fu- console
