[Gimp-user] Language setting Windows 7 and GIMP 2.6
Hi, I got a mail from a German in Saudia Arabia. He runs Windows 7 with English as default language. He installed GIMP 2.6.9 and it comes up in Arabic which he can't read. He sent me a screen shot which shows the menus of his mail program in the back behind the Arabic GIMP. They are in German, but he says his system is running in English. Localisation Hell? I haven't used Windows since 98SE, so I have no idea how to help him. Any pointers?

Business as usual on Windows systems where there is no true localisation because the translations are mostly found in the program's resources (i.e. attached to the program files at linktime) and not in language catalogs...

Setting the localization variables (LANG, LC_ALL etc) to the desired locale(s) should do the trick. hth Torsten signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Create a clickable hotspot?
Thank you. I can create the hotspots on the picture I'm using but how do I add it into my web page? I'm using Kompozer which doesn't want to import the thing.it's a MAP file or some sort of thing. Any idea what to do? Hi, BGP I wonder if you have found out how it works - to insert a hotspot in kompozer - if it works at all. I'm not sure to be able to write any single code - I'm just a user of Gimp and Kompozer and would be thankfull for any copy-paste solution. -- ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] strange window behaviour
Hi all. I'm used to a particular, useful behaviour. I'm working with Gimp 2.6.8 on ubuntu. When working with multiple image, I leave the 'layers, channels and paths' window open. When I switch between images, the lcp window automaticially empties itself of information pertaining to the old image, and populates itself with information pertaining to the new image. For the last couple of days, I've been getting a different, disruptive behaviour: The information in the lcp window remains pertainent to the old image. My current workaround is to do this after selecting a new image: I close the lcp window, and then open it again from the 'windows' menu. What could be going on here? Maybe I accidently switched a setting? Is there a way to switch back? -- bob (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

We know we need CMYK sooner or later, but higher bit depths and non-destructiveness is much more important. So first good support for the latter, then we can begin looking into proper support for the former IMO. Maybe in a stable version 6-8 years from now with the current pace of development. / Martin Hey, I may not live that long :). Krita has had CMYK for years.

Maybe some of that Krita code could be lifted for Gimp, just as InDesign lifted important features from TeX. The debate on what ID lifted and what it didn't will never stop, eh? There seems to be a recently growing trend to solve GIMP's bottlenecks by introducing external plug-ins that do some fancy stuff and run in 16bpc mode, e.g.: http://www.mm-log.com/blog/2010-07-09/adaptive-saturation-curve-labcurves You might like getting Mike to code quick patch-ups, no?

It sounds like you did. :] Look in the menu you get in the [] button top right of LCP (and any other such window or tab, also called dock, just in case you hit the term in Gimp documentation). There should be an Auto Follow Active Image toggle at bottom of the menu. If you click Show Image Selection you get a drop down to pick which image to show in LCP, and as plus, a button labelled Auto that does the same than the A-F-A-I setting. If you already have this selector, maybe you clicked the Auto and so it behaves the other way.

You can create HTML imagemaps in GIMP using Filters-Web-Image Map... -- see the documentation at http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/plug-in-imagemap.html. But if you're having trouble importing the map into Kompozer, you might have better luck asking on a Kompozer list. They'll probably need specifics of what goes wrong when you try to import it: the message you quoted didn't mention that. ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Copy and paste chocolate fountain
Hi, I want to copy our chocolate fountain in one .jpg Then paste it into a different .jpg. I can't copy it smoothly using FREE SELECT. It is on a dark background and I get a great selection using SELECT BY COLOR. Then I am stumped. How do I change the selection to reverse and select the fountain instead of the dark background?

If I understand you, you have the background selected (excluding the fountain), but you really want to simply invert that selection so the fountain is selected.
