Re: Performance of Gimp vs. photoshop for large images

2000-06-07 Thread Alan Buxey

hi,

 this is linux specific, and wrong. It is very sensible of the kernel to
 swap out data that is likely not to be used for other apps like gimp.

'top' - thats a command featured in almost all un*x-style OS's

 Any non-obsolete linux kernel version can be expected to swap out 6-10mb
 even shortly after a boot, and even if memory is available.

??? I'd like to know what you're doing.this is my report right at
this point in time.

Re: script-fu prog for tutorial

2000-06-07 Thread Mike Markowski

Hi all,

One more quick note on the script-fu function that follows
a tutorial (more info at URL below).  I have been urged to
link to the file from a web page rather than just point to the
file itself.  So, please use

http://udel.edu/~mm/gimp/

to get to my rather measly gimp page...

Thanks!
Mike

Re: 1.1.22 and sane rpm

 Just installed the rpm versions of 1.1.22 and the latest sane I could
 find.  When I try to access my scanner, I get a message telling me that
 the version of the plug-in is using an older protocol than GIMP.
 
 Does this mean I need to compile sane against some gimp libs?

Exactly that. Note that you have to recompile SANE (xscanimage) and XSANE
against any new developer version of GIMP that you install as they all
have different so versions.
