Matrox is good too (using one now) and they follow the same strategy, get somebody to do open source drivers, so people see you (the company) like the system (XFree and source), which does not mean sell less. BTW, nVidia drivers are company provided (if you want 3D, I believe, for 2D you can use XFree86... but should check that). I have an ATI now but heard not so hot things about the 128. The Matrox G400 I heard good things. nVidia seems to get people upset because of their attitude sigh. Thanks. Jonathan
Re: session managment?
Hello, "Guillermo S. Romero / Familia Romero" wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-01-13 at 2200.57 +0100): So what must I do to get it working? Check that in "Toolbox / Preferences / Session / Window Positions" you have "Save Window Positions on Exit" and "Always Try to Restore Session" set. And check that FVWM2 has "UsePPosition" instead of "NoPPosition" in Gimp's windows "Style"s (IIRC, cos I have not used FVWM2 for some time, so it may need some extra settings). Thanks, that's it! I just changed the line Style "*" NoPPosition into STyle "*" UsePPosition in my $HOME/.fvwm2rc. Now it works fine!

Thumbnailing + adding text
I have a bunch of photographs and I want to get reduced versions of them. Besides I want to add this text : " Copyright 2000 . Manuel Gutier..." to the bottom of each photograph. I'm running a standard Red Hat 6.2 box, with standard gimp. Which commands/plugins of gimp allow me to achieve these effects ? Thanks. -- Regards/Saludos Manolo www.ctv.es/USERS/irmina/TeEncontreX.html /texpython.htm /pyttex.htm /cruo/cruolinux.htm ICQ:77697936 (sirve el ICQ para algo?)

AFAKI there is no special plugin yet for doing these things. But that
doesn't mean that you can't write one yourself. :-)
But I think that the possibilities of batch prosessing with Gimp are not
very well developed at the moment. So I would use convert of this. In
combination with find it is a very powerful tool.
Example: To create a thumbnail of every picture in a directory (every
png one), just use:
find -name "*.png" -exec convert -geometry 25%x25% {} {}.thumb.png \;
If you read 'man convert' there are many options, including drawing and
adding text to a picture.

Ok, thanks, I'll try "convert". I didn't think convert were so
powerful.

Happens with 4.x a lot, happens with vendor drivers most of the time. It's not fun when a vendor does not implement some function because most people won't use it (this is the situation under windows), and binary drivers are the first step to do that. -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |

Got a working Gimp 1.2-Thanks Q
Hi, The Xemian gimp 1.2 seems to have done the trick. It does go in as ~/.gimp-1.2. Is this particular to the new gimp or this build? Any way to get an old generic .gimp (I moved my earlier one so as to avoid just this). Thanks. Jonathan

Any way to get an old generic .gimp (I moved my earlier one so as to avoid just this). Gimp uses dirs with version so you can mix installs or it does not crash after a big update (some config items are not compatible). After getting "nice" cores with other apps, I think Gimp way is good, you can always move one item at a time, or edit by hand to match your old config (I did). GSR

I can see the logic of it, but my only experience of gimp is 1.04 which did not do this. So the question was/is, is this a new feature of particular to this build? I tried changing the preferences directories to .gimp from .gimp-1.2 but it still created new directory. Any other way of getting a plain .gim back? Thanks. Jonathan
Re: Script-fu tutorial
Hi! Is there a tutorial/documentation for script fu programming available? A Google search offers some good links to Script-fu tutorials. Just try: http://www.google.com/search?q=gimp+script-fu+tutorial There's also a tiny introduction in Scheme (the Script-fu language) at the Gimp User Group: http://gug.sunsite.dk/?page=tutorials Hope it helps.

Any binaries installed overwrite the older ones, so you need to use a different prefix use do rename orgies. Also, all components that are callable from outside (e..g perl) need to be speciall trated (modifications to your profile are needed as well as different configure options). (are we still using the ugly-but-maybe-necessary ~/.gimp-version convention?). Last not least, it is usually impossible to cleanly share different versions of gtk+ on the same host, as long as one of the prefixes that gtk+ uses coincide with prefixes where other programs (perl, libtiff etc..) are installed (e.g. /usr/gtk12 /usr/gtk13 is usually ok). This is a libtool limitation/an artifact of gtk-config. The same is true for gimp. So, people, don't try this at home unless you really know how to fix the resultant problems. -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
