[Gimp-user] graphics card choice

2008-09-30 Thread terrence blowfan
I realize that this may not be the most appropriate forum for this
question, however, I believe it is relevant to everyone reading it and
I hope that my question is not out of line.

I am looking to choose a graphics card (for a PCI-E slot that is 16X,
8X link. My primary requirement is the most responsive 2D graphics in
a dual-head configuration (or even single-head if I buy a large
monitor - the monitor has not been chosen yet). Output to TV, 3D
rendering ability, and other fancy features, are nice-to-haves, not
requirements.

Basically, I am looking to choose to best graphics card for using GIMP
on a many-CPU lots-of-RAM system. In addition to GIMP I would be using
whatever image viewing tool has the best user interface to allow me to
select images to work on with GIMP. Other activities on the system
would be so much less intensive as to be irrelevant.

Full and complete Linux support is necessary. Binary-only drivers are
a serious negative that I can live with, although quite unhappily. I
can not be in a position where my RAID controller requires kernel X
and my video card requires kernel Y and my sound card requires kernel
Z. This makes for very choppy video, to say the least.

I lead towards NVidia because their stuff does work, but it is a pain
to maintain and it is against the spirit of freedom that I am so close
to embracing.

I appreciate any help.

As Gimp doesn't use any fancy graphic card functions like the GPU
programming or OpenGL any modern card should work.
More importent for Gimp is a fast CPU and a lot of fast RAM.

Re: [Gimp-user] script-fu plugin

2008-09-30 Thread Bernd Weber
Hi,

I checked your script a little. I have to admit, that I don't know
scheme very much, because I don't like LISP very much (Lots of
Irritating Superfluous Parentheses). I rather work with perl-gimp. But
there is an error in your script. Scheme has a built-in function cons.
Cons needs two arguments. There is only given one:

 (if (= tmp TRUE)
  (set! viewable (append viewable (cons (aref all-layers
 (- i 1))

To make it clearer: The one argument is: aref all-layers (- i 1)

I don't know which argument to give as second. It would take me a while
to figure it out.

One other thing is disturbing: In the register-function isn't given if
it is a stand allone script or if it should work on an image. I assumed
it should work on an image.

To test your script I set:  Image/Script-Fu/_Copy mask
.
May be in special cases, the function aref provides twp arguments for
cons, for example if you have sufficient layers and layer masks, but in
others it doesn*t. Anyhow the error isn't caught.

I am working with LINUX, so you see that the error is OS-Independent.

Greetings

Bernd

 I'm using gimp2.4.7 in windows XP. I copied a script-fu plugin I found to my 
 C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins, which should
 copy a layer mask to multiple layers or apply a layer mask to multiple 
 layers. 
 I get an error each time I make an attempt to use it, which states:
 Error: cons: needs 2 argument(s)
 I'm not familiar with the script. Could there be a simple solution to that?
 Here is the script:

[Gimp-user] Tablet + Xinerama

2008-09-30 Thread Jozef Legeny
Hello

I have problems setting up a Wacom tablet on a xinerama dualscreen.

The issue is that even if I lock the tablet on a single screen with
the command xsetwacom set stylus Screen_No 0 any graphic application
(gimp, inkscape and krita for example) still moves the cursor as if it
were moving along both screens. I am not the only one with this
problem and there is a video displaying this behaviour here :
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-963158980122070242

Now, i know the problem is rather in the Xinerama than GIMP. However
I'd like to know whether there is a way to lock gimp only to one
screen so it will think there is only one screen. Or if there is a way
to force the brush to be always on the cursor position. Note that I
don't want to use both screens for gimp.

Any other solutions are welcome, thank you in advance

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4 and fonts-cache

2008-09-30 Thread Alchemie foto\grafiche
to solve font issues with gimp 2.2 was often useful delete the fonts cache 
created by gimp (this at least on Windows OS )in the user directory

But where is  now with 2.4? All my attempt to find it failed

Maybe gimp 2.4 do not create a font cache?

Anyway there is a way to force gimp to refresh the fonts as it may refresh 
brushes or scripts ?

Press the Refresh button at the bottom of the Fonts dialog?!
