Yes. A template currently isn't a full image, just the basic characteristics
like Width, Height, and (possibly, don't remember for sure) Fill .
Until such time as full XCF templates are implemented, I suggest instead
making the base body map, copying the XCF you just made, and finally
creating a custom launcher which passes the path of that XCF to GIMP.
Then every time you needed to create a new record, use that launcher. That
way you would immediately have that base XCF loaded, ready to make a
modified version from, each time you start GIMP.

Also, once you make this stock xcf file, remember change the permissions to 
read only so you will be forced to use save as when creating a newrecord 
from it.

As the doc says: Templates are templates for an image format to be 
created, so there are mere a starting point for images. Once an image 
is created, they serve little purpose. Why do you want to apply a 
template afterwards? If you want to resize the image, use Image/scale 
image or the Crop tool (or selection/crop to selection).

[Gimp-user] templates

2007-08-04 Thread norman
I want to design and print some inserts for DVD cases and wondered if
anyone new of any, ready to use templates. There are lots of free
templates available but they only appear to work with windows based
software and I use Ubuntu 7.04. There is a linux application called
glabels but that does not have the one template I want. The help file of
glabels describes how to make ones own templates but I do not understand
how to do this. Perhaps my brain is not as agile as it was 70 years ago.
