[Gimp-user] Advanced Rounded Rectangle
The dialog for the Advanced Rounded Rectangle has me confused. What data am I supposed to enter and what is a horizontal or vertical radius ? -- Richard H. (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] meetthegimp.org needs help: Mirrors for the video archive
A lot of Open Source is mirrored at Universities and other institutions. I would love to get a home for the old episodes there too and then spread the load with a round robin system. Any ideas how to achieve this? Personally, I'd enforce BitTorrent even more and offer it as default download method (and write the http download smaller). There are also services where you don't have to seed with your own server. For instance, there is Vuze (www.vuze.com) - you can upload the videos there, get a Torrent and they will host it. No ads, no fees. -- Richard H. (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 download for Ubuntu
Hello, Ubuntu repos states 2.4.6 is the latest: This is correct for Ubuntu 8.04. See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gimp Thus I presume I don't have the correct Gimp repositories enabled Ubuntu ones are not up-to-date for my version 8.04. There are no (official) GIMP repositories, and it's not intented that Ubuntu 8.04 repos contain newer software than available at 8.04 release (except security and critical updates). If you need newer software versions, upgrade to 8.10 which contains GIMP 2.6.1. Or manually install GIMP 2.6 for Ubuntu 8.04: http://www.gimpusers.com/news/2008-10-07/compile-gimp-260-for-ubuntu-804.html Or use ready-to-go .deb packages for GIMP 2.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, if you can find them. will I loose all the modifications, additional paintbrushes and plugins that I have added over the past six months as these might located in a different file structure? When you do a normal upgrade, you shouldn't loose anything. -- Richard H.

[Gimp-user] Send by Email... isn't working
Aren't most GNU/Linux distributions installing by default a mail transfer agent like exim or postfix? Debian at least does this, and then the plug-in works. Please consider that a mail server also has to be configured which is often a non-trivial thing that can't be expected from a normal desktop user. Maybe the solution would be to change the plug-in in order it calls the preferred mail user agent, for example evolution or Thunderbird? This would make it useful after all. As Sven already said, I think xdg-email would be the best solution. GIMP just would have to execute xdg-email --attach filename -- Richard H.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.7 and Ubunto 9.04
what's the gimp 2.7 download address,I haven't find way to download gimp 2.7... If you refer to ...so they don't disturb the GIMP version installed by the system (GIMP 2.7 in case of Ubuntu 9.04) ... this was of course a typo. It should mean: ... so they don't disturb the GIMP version installed by the system (GIMP 2.6.6 in case of Ubuntu 9.04) I have corrected it in the news article -- Richard H.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.7 and Ubunto 9.04
I am running Gimp 2.6.6 in both Windows XP and Ubuntu (was 8.10, just upgraded to 9.04). It runs fine and I am quite happy with it. So am I (use Ubuntu 9.04 too). Since I just installed the upgrade to Ubuntu yesterday, I'm a little hesitant to try the Gimp compile just yet, but am still curious what I will find in that version that is not in my present setup. Can anyone comment? I wrote the article just to show how to use git compile a GIMP yourself. I don't know if it's worth that, but for instance you may be interested in the current status of tagged resources and rotatable brushes (work fairly well, as I have seen). Also note that, of course, the versions from Git are not suitable for production use. -- Richard H.

[Gimp-user] Forum/Site Questions
Hi, Hello. I cannot find a FAQ section regarding the forums. Here's hoping someone here can help. Please note that the forums on gimpusers.com are connected to the official mailing lists. You can read this directly over the posting fields, including a link to this page: http://gimp.org/mail_lists.html where some of your questions may be answered. 1) I was sent a password, joining the site. I would like to change it but cannot find any such changes in the profile. S - the password that was emailed is permanent? Assuming that you mean the password for gimpusers.com - it's not permanent, you can request a new one at any time. However, we don't want our users to be able to change it because some users may use their only password. If gimpusers.com gets hacked then, the hackers have access to all your data because you only have one password and we'd feel guilty, too. However, this discussion is not on topic here (topic is: GIMP). 2) Is there a search available for the forums? Do we use the search box for the site? You can use the mailing list archives or the general search box on gimpusers.com (that also contains an AutoSuggest feature) The forum area seems very basic. Maybe too basic. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Indeed, it's very basic and not nearly complete. This is because it's basically a self-made Web interface for the mailing lists. Before I made it, I had a look for more feature-complete bulletin boards that allow mailing list integration, but I didn't find anything usable. If you're more familiar with that, you can use one these interfaces: * the mailing lists itself using your mail client * www.nabble.com * www.gmane.org I will create a new forum on gimpusers.com that is for discussing gimpusers.com only so that the GIMP forums/mailing lists stay reserved for topic GIMP ;) -- Richard H.

[Gimp-user] Smallest possible transparency size on disk
So far I've been able to slim down to a 108 byte png or a 43 byte gif using indexed mode. Is this as good as it gets or can the image get smaller using some other technique? I tried to create a new 1x1 image, set it to 1 bit (b/w), saved it as GIF file (without the Created with GIMP comment) and it's only 35 bytes small. -- Richard H. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Gimp latest version
There probably is an appropriate repository that someone is providing with the required dependencies. I don't know where to find it, though.

[Gimp-user] Win32: Use standard Windows File Open/Save dialog
I understand why it is the way it is, which is why I mention that it is sometimes the 'right' decision. However, end users don't like it, no matter what the technical merits may be. Also, each application obviously has it's own special needs, and the OS default File Chooser cannot satisfy them all. Maybe the GTK library (GtkFileChooser, to be specific) could show the native Windows dialog, if available? One standardised file chooser can't satify all needs, but a solution is that there are hooks and other mechanisms that allow applications to extend the file chooser. However this should be discussed in a GTK forum/mailing list. -- Richard H. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Using the mailing lists as a forum
Aaaarg! Why did you do this? I have seen the necessity of this because I sometimes want to answer some mails on the lists, but it's all complicated and time-intensive. Subscribing to the list itself, creating rules in the mail client that move the messages into appropriate folders, mark them as read automatically; the whole thing is not available from anywhere if you don't have an IMAP mailbox etc. etc. So I thought this was a good idea. I also saw that other people used Gmane for this purpose (there you also can read/post to lists via Web) but it wasn't that comfortable and GIMP specific. So - Why not? Please also note that only messages to gimp-user, gimpwin-users and gimp-web can be posted via gimpusers. All other lists are read-only. -- Richard H. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
