JG I notice the banding doesn't take place if I use the gradient red pipe
JG plugin. It renders it and all gradients flawless. Just the standard...
JG 
JG Any other thing you can think of s appreciated. It sort of ruins what
JG I'm doing and so causes massive depression, loss of appetite, etc.

JG Thanks for the feedback.

are you starting the gradient about an inch in from the edge of the page by chance? if 
so, try starting the gradient on the edge of the layer (or outside the layer).
this might be from the all-to-obvious department, but who knows?

Re: Alt+Drag and Drop

CE Hello,
CE 
CE Normally, with the Alt+Drag and Drop, you can move the selection. But, i use
CE Gnome (sawfish) and if you use this function, it's the window that move (as
CE if i drag the window title). Is there a solution (configuration of X) to
CE avoid this behavior ?
CE 
CE Salutations.

CE 

I'm not sure about Sawfish, but in WindowMaker a similar problem arises.
I fixed the problem here by changing the default windowmanager mouse binding key to 
MOD4 (crusty windoze key), so now if i want to move a window (for example), I use 
mod4(meta), not mod1(alt).

Re: What's with GIMP and TIFF already?

2000-12-22 Thread syngin

  thats the problem.
 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.

Are you the same person I replied to?
PS: I'm opening up all kinds of TIFFs in GIMP without problems, so who knows where the 
issue lies if you're using linux - perhaps its a distro thing.

Re: What's with GIMP and TIFF already?

2000-12-21 Thread syngin

Around Thu, 21 Dec 2000 09:49:44 +1000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake thus: 
Gimpsters:
 
 I capture screen shots with SnagIt, edit in Gimp, and save as TIFF.
 (Aside: Gimp insists on including the 'Made by Gimp' comment even though
 preferences are set for NOTHING.)  FrameMaker cannot open Gimp TIFF and
 neither can several pixmap editors.  So I use Graphics Workshop to convert
 Gimp TIFF to (obviously) some other TIFF variant that the rest of the known
 universe can recognise.  And, guess what, Gimp cannot read Graphics
 Workshop TIFF.
 
 Any clues, workarounds, preferences, or whatever for this?
 
 Also, clicking the LZW Compression checkbox in the Save As dialogue gives
 an error message saying that no LZW is available.  Do I have to download
 some plugins or whatever for this functionality?
 
 Finally, a weensy gripe.  Why is the file browser so slloow?
 You click a subdirectory or a parent directory, wonder if you missed the
 target, whooops! after pondering Gimp has decided to recognise your first
 click and act on it, your second click hits some other directory (usually a
 drive letter, just to take you back to the top to get you really mad!).  I
 know it's written in Scheme/Lisp, but really, isn't finding a directory a
 little easier than convolving a 23 Mb graphic?

sounds to me like your using a devlelopment port based in Winblows...oh...you are.
your TIFF library that GIMP is referencing is buggered mate.
GIMP doesnt save TIFFs, nor open them, libtiff does (dunno what the library is called 
in windoze).
the problems with the browser may have something to do with your filesystem.
GIMP was written under ext2fs, msw2000 doesnt use that, maybe thats the problem.
