1. Why is your internet connection so slow I know a lot of people in Japan,
they have all got nice connections.  Are you poor?
2. Even if you pay $100, I think it's still damn cheap compared to Photoshop. I
used to use Photoshop. But why??? For web design, only the gimp's text
tool(including Gdyn Text IMHO) is poor compared to
Photoshop. The scriptibililty and multi-threading is very nice. Both apps have
the basics.  
3. Your further posts were imature. Grow up.
4. I agree a patch would have been cooler and I didn't like it myself. But I
must admit that I didn't know Gimp is available via CVS. Great! Who cares about
patches when CVS is available? 
5. How do you update X?
6. Dear Mr. Timecop, grown ups post with real life names...

I don't think that's is the problem. I can't open most PC/Mac TIFF images, like
from Photoshop, without resaving them with ACDSee. The rest of the world has no
problems, but Gimp (or libtiff) does.  I'm using Linux.

Hmm, I live in Germany (and your name suggests the the same)  and I don't know
_anybody_ using GNOME. Everybody I know is either using KDE or Windowmaker. Oh
and one guy is using Enlightenment. But I guess you are talking from the coders
point of view. There seems to be a reality difference between the coders and the
end-users. Why? I guess it's because most coders hate win and most end-users
come from win. :-)
Will a coder be able to write QT front end as well? But actually,
though I use KDE myself, I couldn't care less if an app comes along as a GTK or
an QT version.  Both GNOME and KDE (and GIMP of course) are great projects.
Thanks to you coders.

The problem is a missing file (snow1.pgm) in the patch...
Thanks to Alex for sending me the file. GIMP compiled fine after I copied the
file to plugins/gimpressionist/Brushes.

GIMP 1.1.30 compile error

Hi all!
For the first time after a long while, the GIMP will not compile on my machine.

I'm running SuSE Linux 7.0 Prof.
I patched GIMP 1.1.30  from 1.1.29(as always).  This the error I get. Any ideas?

wierd...

Letter Spacing and a "Spam sux!!"

2000-10-21 Thread Matthew Colton

Hi
The text tool offers the opportunity to change line spacing, but not letter
spacing, it this in the works?  I personally think this is a very basic
function, is it so hard to program?

And:
C'mon, what's going on here, why all the spam?
Will this change in the near future?  Sorry, but I'm really annoyed...

1.1.26 and still having scanner problems

2000-09-25 Thread Matthew Colton

Hi,
since 1.1.25 I can't link xscanimage or xsane as a gimp plugin. Gimp freezes on
startup while scanning the plugins. 
Just to be sure it's not something I did, I recompiled 1.1.24 and tested it.
Both xsane and xscanimage work fine with 1.1.24, but not with 1.1.25 or 1.1.26.
Since we're getting close to 1.2 this is making me nervous...

Gimp 1.1.25 and scanner

2000-09-12 Thread Matthew Colton

Hi,
I've just upgraded from 1.1.24 to 1.1.25. Everything compiled well, but now I
can't scan directly into Gimp anymore. If I link xscanimage to my
.gimp-1.1/plug-ins directory, the Gimp freezes while checking the plug-ins on
start up. No error messages, no nothing, just freezes. This is wierd, since
xscanimage itself still works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
