Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker
Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My main worry is that someone out there has introduced a filepicker I can't use. See mail subject. My workflow is seriously hampered by it. It shows no folder icons. I can't type filenames in it. The two applications I use the most; Mozilla (Gtk2) and Gimp, are now using a filepicker I can't use. THAT is a major problem. Probably to more than me. That could have been fixed as easily if only you would have asked nicely. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker
Hi, This is mostly a binch of tips (and a disclaimer - I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, so these may be duplicates)... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried to build 2.1.4 and kind of succeeded, but it couldn't open files. I could barely start it, actually. THere was dozens of error messages during startup from the local dir about libgimpwidgets-2.0-104 couldn't be located. You may have tried to install the GIMP 2.1 into the same directory as the old GIMP, and this does not work. It's documented in the README file, which you read, of course. ;) I don't know how those errors manifest themselves, and I would have expected something more subtle than this, but however... And even with a full install that's right: It's not on disk. Nor did the installation routine relink gimp to the new binary. This is normal - since 2.1.x is a development series, we assume that you will be doing day-to-day work with 2.0.x, and we leave the gimp linking to gimp-2.0. I finally gave up and deleted the whole thing - it could only open xfc files, no plugins worked, and the filepicker has become an unusable mess... What on earth happened to the it? I can't use it anymore :((( For the files, this is because xcf is loaded and saved in the core, while every other format goes through a plug-in. Since libgimp is not found, the plug-ins don't load, and are thus not available. You can use the old 2.0 plug-ins by doing something like ln -s /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ~/.gimp-2.1/plug-ins , but then you will not have all the bug-fixes and previews which have gone into the 2.1 series. There is nowhere to paste in the URLs (filepath/name). Ctrl-F (Find) brings up a filename entry dialog box where you can paste URLs or file paths. I used to browse my galleries in mozilla, and then paste the url/filepath+name into the gimp filepicker. If this is your preferred way to browse files, then you might consider dragging and dropping the URLs from the Location bar into the toolbox of the GIMP. This even works for remote images in web-pages, and drag drop also works with multiple files, you can drop files to the layers dock to have them added as layers to your image, and DD also works for lots of other things (colours, patterns, layer previews, etc). I tested it under Gnome too: There I can see icons at least. But I can't use Gnome for other reasons. I guess it all means that the Gimp has changed from a Gtk app to a Gnome app. No, this isn't the case. Perhaps you are missing the icon themes, which are an optional but reccommended component for the GIMP?

See my other response in this thread. The error that the original poster was seeing when starting up GIMP is completely unrelated to the installation prefix he has choosen. He simply forgot to run ldconfig. You can use the old 2.0 plug-ins by doing something like ln -s /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ~/.gimp-2.1/plug-ins , but then you will not have all the bug-fixes and previews which have gone into the 2.1 series. This won't work with 2.1.4 though since we accidentally broke the wire protocol. It will work again with 2.1.5 (or current CVS). No, this isn't the case. Perhaps you are missing the icon themes, which are an optional but reccommended component for the GIMP? He is missing at least one of the following: - an icon theme that provides the icons - the shared-mime-info package - an entry in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that tells gtk+ to use the icon theme (for example: gtk-icon-theme-name = gnome) Alternatively upgrading to a recent GTK+-2.4 release would have fixed the problem. You should perhaps have mentioned that there's also Open Location in the toolbox which offers an entry to paste URLs or filenames to.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker
I tried to build 2.1.4 and kind of succeeded, but it couldn't open files. I could barely start it, actually. THere was dozens of error messages during startup from the local dir about libgimpwidgets-2.0-104 couldn't be located. And even with a full install that's right: It's not on disk. Nor did the installation routine relink gimp to the new binary.

I can't use it anymore :((( There is nowhere to paste in the URLs (filepath/name). I used to browse my galleries in mozilla, and then paste the url/filepath+name into the gimp filepicker. Now I instead have to click myself dizzy to get anywhere. I can't figure out where i can paste/write in the new filepicker. And to complicate things further: There is no indication what is folders and what is files when i run under KDE. I tested it under Gnome too: There I can see icons at least. But I can't use Gnome for other reasons. I guess it all means that the Gimp has changed from a Gtk app to a Gnome app. This is very sad as it means 2.1.* is made extremely hard to use under KDE. PLEASE change the filepicker back to the old one?! Unhappy Gimp-user R.K.Aa. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You are aware that 2.1.4 is a development version, and the README has words to the effect All hell may break loose when installing this program? Did you build it in a different prefix to your Gimp-2.0.4. If you didn't, then for sure all hell will break loose.
