Whether gimpshop should be declared as being officially supported by the list owners. On the first point my reaction to those adopting an authoritarian position is come on guys loosen up. It gives the impression that a few people with an axe to grind want to freeze out gimpshop rather than encouraging any extensions of gimp, of which gimpshop is one, to mature. This list is hosted by the GIMP project. If you want to discuss another project that openly rejected GIMP and refused to listen to the team's advices on how to properly implement Gimpshop to benefit from bugfixes and new releases, you can do so by finding another list or creating one yourself. You can't ask the GIMP project to not moderate the mailing list they host. Noone forces you to use this list if you dislike the way it is moderated.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to tile pictures without gap?

I need to tile it (copy and paste) into a 2000*3000 bigger pictures. What I did are: Generate a new file whose size is 2000*3000. Select All (ctrl + A), copy the original picture and paste to the new file and position it the left upper corner. Do it again and again. But I found it's hard for me to exactly tile the bigger files. How can I set to make sure there are no gaps. 1. Save your first image as a pattern (.pat) in your .gimp-2.2/patterns/ folder then use the bucket fill in the larger image. 2. Refresh the patterns dialog 3. Select the pattern you just saved in the patterns dialog (they are sorted alphabetically if you have trouble finding it) 4. Pick the bucket fill tool 5. Click in your second image (wherever you want, the pattern will start as expected in the top left corner) This can avoid a large number of copy/paste if you want to tile your image many times.

The blender folks do an extremely good job with their release notes, graphically describing new features [1]. I've started to sporadically write something along those lines [2], so if you'd like to join forces we could move this away from my personal dokuwiki space that's hosted on a very unreliable server to somewhere more appropriate. That sounds great! The development news are hosted on my gimp webpage and I am currently the only one able to produce them, which is not very bright (there have been some holiday weeks with no news because of that). I also host some new features descriptions with screenshots on my blog, but they are not many and not very visible. We would still have to decide the format of the public news / release notes (the blender graphical release notes are indeed a very good example), where to publish them, and how to allow several people to contribute to them (you and me, or more people). The Gimp website has a news feature that could fulfill those needs if I remember correctly, but I don't know whether that would be the best place to publish something like that. Anyway, I'm all for contributing to eye-candy release notes. I'm still undecided about whether these should replace the actual development news or not, I guess it depends on whether there would still be an interest for detailed development news (Sven Neumann proposed to add more descriptions to the rather bland reports I make) once the graphical release notes are there.

Others are spreading the news as well in articles, mailing lists, forums, ..., but this about all we've got on gimp.org Now that I'm more familiar with parsing Bugzilla and the Changelog, I could build a more public news flow, with much less items and screenshots of the new features. Where would it go? News items in www.gimp.org front page, another feed, ... ?

The Device Status dialog shows you every device that can be used as a pointer in The GIMP, along with what tool this device is using (and also : foreground and background colors, brush, pattern, and gradient), which means all these settings will change accordingly when you switch device. It also indicates which device is currently in use, as only one can be at a time. It can be of great help when you don't understand what is happening when you pick a device (like when you wonder why a lot of things seems to change without you clicking anywhere, or when I hit a known bug where I couldn't switch back to the core pointer). -- Karine Delvare http://edhel.nerim.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Wacom Graphire3 and The Gimp
Hello, I had almost the same questions some days ago, concerning my new Intuos3. Sadly, I got no answer at all... maybe my english is really bad, what I'm sorry about ;) I got my Intuos3 working perfectly, though at first it was only seen as a mouse. The problem is, it can come from a lot of different things, and I don't know what you already did or not. My problem was basically not having replaced enough kernel drivers with the linuxwacom ones. So, some questions that could help both of you : - what does your system messages say when you plug the tablet in? - what kernel drivers did you replace? none, wacom.ko, more? - do you have any other usb input device (the linuxwacom HOWTO only talk about USB mice, but I finally understood my USB dance mat was a problem too!) Basically, keep in mind this has nothing to do with the GIMP as you have not made it to this step yet. Everything is in the linuxwacom HOWTO, but I admit it tool me several tries until I got it to work. -- Karine Delvare [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://edhel.nerim.net ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Feature Request: Open toolbox on right click.
On Wed, 13 Apr 2005 19:29:37 +0100 David Marrs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As a general rule of thumb, users expect to be able to extend the use of a tool/app/whatever on right-click anyway. This is simply a continuation of that process. I don't really see why it should cause problems for more experienced users who would easily be able to turn the option off if they didn't like it, but I think it might help newbies and less experienced users. I also think it's a more logical use of the right mouse-button. I would not expect that on right-click, but maybe I'm not representative of the standard user. The fact that right-click currently does something that is available elsewhere is nice in my opinion, as a new user doesn't have to search for it, the menus are plain visible. Once he learns right-click gives the same menus, he can choose to use one or the other or both, so I like very much the current state of right-click (even though I don't use it myself!) My point is, the user would have to guess those actions are on right-click. I'm not sure right-clicking has to be expected from the user (and new users were complaining back at the time right-click was the only way to have menus). However, the idea of tools actions may be good, I just wonder where they would fit. -- Karine Delvare http://edhel.nerim.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Re: GimpShop
Then, it is true that the developers do not find this interface skinning desirable (it breaks documentation badly). The xml menus were first considered as a developer-only feature to simplify their work. Some people found it a new application, which is fine too. About breaking documentation, what if: The GIMP comes with a menu layout. The GIMP documentation relies on this layout. It also documents the ability to change this layout, so users can play with the xml files if they really want to. Some users provide completely changed layout to other users who need the same changes. These changes are not part of The GIMP, but something you have to get and to apply to The GIMP. So it's not an option in The GIMP configuration, it's a new thing that come on top of it. It's the responsibility of the provider of the new layout to document it / provide easy installation of the layout / whatever. (I'm pretty sure mimicking-layouts are not a good way to learn The GIMP for new users, but now it has started I don't really see how to stop it, as some users do think it will help them. As someone else pointed out, if this is just about getting a free Photoshop they are going the wrong way and will discover it soon enough.)
