Sounds very interesting.

I installed (in ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
then compiled it as explained in the README file. (make them sudo make install).
The compile seemed to go fine However, I don't see bimp in the menus system.
Am I missing something?

 This may be a function of your windowmanager, which you failed to

 maintain size and position in addition to which desktop.

Yes, even Windows allows you to set shortcut to launch a program 
maximised.

Right-click the Start Menu icon. Select Properties and under the 
Shortcut tab on the Properties dialogue that opens, you'll find an 
option to run Normal Window/Minimised/Maximised.

I believe this was commented that the option maximised the splash
screen/window rather than the program window  But then that's windoz

 Hello David,
 that's probably because gimptool-2.0 (that installs the compiled plugin into
 Gimp directories) didn't assign the execution permission to the file. It
 happened to me, see if the complied version of BIMP copied into Gimp plugins
 directory (should be /home/username/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins) has the 'execute'
 permission enabled.

Thanks for the reply.
By habit I typed sudo make install. It copied the binary to the
wrong location.
make install did the trick.

I am not getting it to apply the droste effect. Should all the filters work?

No, it's pretty much a fault of GTK+ on Windows.

Ah, now that looks fine! Thanks, Johan.

Looks like 2.7.4's version is 'work in progress' between what 2.6 does 
and 2.8 does, so will hold on until Mageia updates to 2.8.

Thank you nce again ,

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8.0 WIN32 - Very Slow

2012-05-07 Thread Andrew Clarke
Just installed GIMP 2.8.0 win32, it seems very slow when editing images, 
for example if I use the spray brush the cursor moves but the tool 
'circle' does not move or lags behind. The change in the image also lags 
behind the cursor.
My system: Dell Vostro 1520, Intel 2 Duo CPU p8700 2.53GHz 4gb 32bit 
(Vista).
Had been using 2.7.(not sure if it was .4) no problems. I have increased 
title cache to 3gb but no change ?

Re: [Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior

 That's what I do and it has come in very handy.
 
  -Why not add (to Gimp) the possibility to maintain an autosave copy
   in (.XCF format) each N minutes? And not delete it for X days?
 
 I would not use that.  For instance, just a couple of minutes ago I
 opened an XCF file, merged several layers for convenient export of
 some image elements to another XCF file, and closed the file without
 saving.  If an autosave hit in the middle of that, it would commit
 this strictly temporary state to my source file, wiping out layers I
 need to keep if I closed the file - or somebody tripped over the
 power cord - before reverting the changes.

As 'GSR' also commented there are quite a few ways to avoid this
problem. The autosave could save a copy with the same name in a temp
directory, or add hashes (#yourfile.xcf#) or any other idea.

  -Why not make the Undo buffer for the last N edited images
  persistent for X days? Disk space is generally not an issue.
 
 That's an interesting idea.  Over the years I have heard a lot
 people wishing out loud that they could undo changes in a saved
 image after closing out.  Still though, there have been times when I
 had to repeatedly flush the undo buffer when using an older/slower
 machine to work on big files - a day's work could add up to
 gigabytes of saved buffer in some instances...

No doubt. Not unlike the cache of a browser... It's scary how much info
gets saved in a machine, mostly never to be used again. But still,
gigabytes are getting cheaper by the minute. Where's the time I my
first harddisk was 20-odd MB ;-)

[Gimp-user] problem with brush dynamics

 Am I the only one or are there others. The brush dynamics matrix is

Did you create a copy of the dynamics? THhe ones that come with GIMP are 
not editable (same for other resources, e.g. brushes).

 Awe sweet. Its working. Where was my brain. Thanx Mikael

[Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior

2012-05-07 Thread Red_Chaos1
Count me on this. The previous behavior of Save/Save As was just fine. Save As 
did exactly what Export is doing now, without giving me grief over me format 
choice. Reason around it and praise the change as the holy frail if you want, 
it's still retarded and makes no sense. Save As doesn't overwrite the existing 
image, so there is no reason for the program to force this silly assed Export 
function on me or anyone else. Avoiding accidental overwrite using Save is 
avoided with a quick are you sure? dialog. Pushing this whole new system 
feels like training wheels to me. Assuming I'm not smart enough to not goof my 
own work.

Nevermind the preview function is apparently broken in the Export dialog. I 
went to save a small image as jpg in it, and it tells me the resulting file 
will be 1.3GB in size. In reality it ends up 193KB. 2.6 didn't have these 
issues. 2.6 worked in a fashion that made sense. Maybe I'll just go back to 
2.6. :-/
