[Gimp-user] Setting paper size to not waste role paper
Hi I, like so many others, am a GIMP newbie. My current problem is with paper sizes. I have a Epson Photo 2100 printer that takes 13inch role paper. This paper is 329mm x 10m. If I select this paper size, when I print the GIMP tells the printer to eject the whole 10m. Not good, rolling it all back on the reel is a bit of a pain. So I use a custom paper size. I want to set the paper size to 329mm X 110mm (or something close). The trouble is that the printer dialog always resets the height of the paper to 29.70cm. So that when I print I 'waste' 329mm X 180mm every time. Is there some way that I can tell the GIMP that my paper really is 329mm X 110mm or stop it from ejecting all 10m of my roll?

[Gimp-user] Is this going to be possible? (gimp-python batch printing)
Hi Before I embark on learning all the bits I need to, I wonder if anyone can just confirm that my end point is possible. I want to write a batch script that will take a collection of images, separate them into pairs and then for each pair: - scale them to the same size and aspect ration - lay them out side-by-side with a small space between them - print them, setting various printer settings e.g. driver, paper size/type/orientation, centre vertically, scale image to specific size in cm, etc. As I know Python better than I know scheme, I would like to do this using gimp-python. Is this going to be possible? Many thanks.

[Gimp-user] More newbie python gimp help
I know I am being really dim but... Where do I put a python-fu script to get gimp to load it? I have tried the .gimp-2.0/scripts directory and /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts (where all the .scm files are). I can't find any of the existing python-fu plugins either but they must be there somewhere because gimp shows some in the menus. Sorry for being so dim, but it is not in the python gimp documentation either.

If the camera actually saves the orientation info in the exif data, then I suggest to use exiftran. It is more convenient to use than jpegtran. Another option is digiKam, if you don't mind KDE apps. The new version of digiKam (0.7.0) supports autorotation of images based on EXIF information. The autorotation can be done when the images are uploaded from the camera or when they are viewed. The rotation of the jpegs is done using a lossless method. Version 0.7.0-rc1 came out last week and the 0.7.0 release should be out in the next few days.

Re: [Gimp-user] image scale (2.2) - missing print size

Would it perhaps be better to also remove the Resolution entries from the Scale dialog and add a new dialog Image-Change Print Size ? The fact that you had to use the Scale dialog for changing the resolution has always been a source of confusion. Perhaps a different dialog would be a good way to solve that problem w/o ending up with a cluttered Scale dialog again? That would make sense to me. I always found the scale dialog confusing.

That's an 8 1/2 X 11 printout of a page with multiple arranged images on it are there any GIMP templates for contact sheets? I don't know about GIMP a template but the montage tool, which is part of ImageMagic will do this nicely from the command line.
