[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8 per Windows, problem with the color picker
I suspect that Francesco had the same problem I did. In the color picker dialog box, there is an icon, about 2/3 of the way from the top, which when one hovers the mouse cursor over the icon, reveals the context help that one can select a color from anywhere in the screen. When one's cursor is located over a GIMP window, this is true, one can select a color; when the cursor is over a part of the screen that is not part of a GIMP window, the cursor reverts from the eyedropper shape to the normal cursor shape, and in my experience, one was not able to select a color from any part of the screen that was not a GIMP related window. Yes, this is the problem I'm having as well. It's definitely a bug. -- TracyF (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Solvation of difficult problems with GIMP
Today I got a problem with updating my GIMP to 2.8. List of filters disappeared and I couldn't choose format of file to export to. One man with nickname chumaml helped me in Mibbit chat. With ProcessMonitor software we had found that zlib1.dll is called from windows/system32 directory. But it should be called from GIMP 2\bin folder. Solvation of this was renaming this dll in system folder. I've renamed it and anything got to work. If such a problem appeared to you and you solved it different way, write it here. :) -- GregorioSalvi (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

The interface seems unchanged with multiple windows. It does seem that you can set a single window interface. Also, supposedly there is an ImagePrecision Menu item which allows me to set the precision. I don't have that. On the other hand, when I load a 16 bit image, I don't get a notice about conversion to 8 bits per channel, and a calculation suggests that each pixel takes up six bytes. What is going on? When can I exect additional changes? -- Leonard Evens l...@math.northwestern.edu Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Seems you found the single window mode by now :) Also, supposedly there is an ImagePrecision Menu item which allows me to se the precision. I don't have that. You have been misinformed. ImagePrecision has been introduced shortly after the 2.8 release and for now only is available in the development version resp. GIT. While it works surprisingly well it is not yet good enough to be released onto unsuspecting users... :) On the other hand, when I load a 16 bit image, I don't get a notice about conversion to 8 bits per channel, and a calculation suggests that each pixel takes up six bytes. You lose the precision anyway and it depends on the loader plugin if this dialog is shown or not. Anyway, 6 bytes per pixels seems a tad on the low side, since Gimp usually needs more (3 or 4 bytes image data, 4 bytes projection, one byte selection mask). I hope this helps.

It's not in 2.8 and wasn't even supposed to be.
