[Gimp-user] Input Controller Assignments
Hi. Firstly, I'm on Gimp 2.7.3. There are in fact some differences in connection with this query. I'm wondering about the assignments in Configure Keyboard Shortcuts. There are some confusing aspects to this. I'm not actually using a keyboard or even mouse for that matter. I'm using MIDI but the quickest way into this dialog is from keyboard shortcuts on the edit menu. So check this out for keyboard shortcuts to keep it simple. In this window you have choices under Tools. Here you have for example, settings for Brush. This works as expected. However, you also have settings for just Values that you would logically expect to cross over all tools i.e. increase value 1. Value 1 and value 2 control opacity and size of the tool. There is also value 3 and 4 but these don't act on the slider values in the tool options as you might expect. They only do anything if the brush is a procedural one but then they act on the settings in the brush editor. There are other options under the heading of Context. There you can also assign brush settings. These act like the Value settings under tools. You can also go into Preferences - Input Controllers to assign things to mouse or MIDI if need be but whatever you assign. I'm only interested in understanding the purpose of these various choices. There doesn't seem to be an overall logic. Especially in the development Gimp since it has extra tool sliders but this is maybe why. In preferences there is also Paint Options Shared Between Tools. Maybe all this ties in to having different physical tools because if say you have two Wacom pens they retain their separate tools but I haven't got this all sorted in my head yet. I am actually creating my own tool presets so that all the brush etc settings are completely stored. I think this may be a feature of 2.7.3 only. This is a very confusing aspect of Gimp and needs clearing up. Ryan. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Color Picker in Gimp 2.6

In the old version I could use the color picker to get a color from the desktop or from any other program window that was visible behind the Gimp image window. Is that still possible in 2.6? Can someone tell me how to make that work? Thank you, Matt You could take a screen shot (in Windows hit the PrtSc key) of your desktop or whatever program you have open, then in GIMP click File Create from Clipboard, and use the colour picker on that to select what you want. Then just close the screen shot, don't save. In linux I use KColorChooser instead and paste the chosen #color into gimp. It's not too cumbersome. - Richard -- Richard Kimber Political Science Resources http://www.PoliticsResources.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Before I make a feature request....
Friends, When I use the save as file option, in the Save Image dialog box, the leftmost pane, under Places shows at the top, a section containing Recently used, then the directories and hardware information, then at the bottom, if they exist, any bookmarks. Now as it happens, I have a fairly complex file structure, and I make extensive use of bookmarks, but my machine has a device which reads multiple forms of media most of which I have no use for, so the Places pane has en extensive list of devices I never use. What I'd like to do is to propose a reordering of this pane to the developers, so that either defined bookmarks would appear higher on the list, or that media readers would only show on the list if they hold media. But before I make the request on the developer's list, I thought I'd first query this group to see whether anyone else would find it useful, or alternatively, whether the request has been made, and there are sound reasons why it cannot be implemented. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
