I do have a question about OpenCL support. If it's disabled by default, how does one enable it? Peace... Tom -- /When we dance, you have a way with me, Stay with me...

[Gimp-user] Mac OSX, no way to use dialogs
Hi, I am running Mac OSX High Sierra and Gimp 2.8.22. The problem is that I can't set any preference in the export dialogs. No way to click over checkboxes or move among them with Tab... I am completely stuck on this. In the attached screenshot, I can't set any of the parameters. I have also tried changing theme, with no luck.

[Gimp-user] Image Rotation Auto Center
If I'm understanding correctly then you can make the task much easier. Create a script that uses a two point path. The first point of the path to be defined is the centre of rotation (the point that gives the x,y offset by which the image must be moved) and the gradient of the straight line joining the ends of the path gives the rotation that must be made. The script should delete the path before it finishes to save you doing this before processing the next image. Remember that GIMP works in radians not degrees. Whilst, for this application, the script doesn't need to offer user adjustable parameters it might be as well to have parameters for the coordinates of the centre of rotation and the angle (set the default values to 53, 672 and 40 degrees) - at least this would act as an aide memoire and at best it would allow someone to use different values without editing the default values. The work flow would then be: Firstly I would create a folder with copies of all of the images to be modified and use a file renaming program to add _rotated to the end of each file name. Then you will still have the original images and can use the overwrite option - which will cut down on the number of key strokes. Open an image Make sure the path tool is selected (this should stay selected from image to image during the GIMP session) Click where the centre of rotation is to be to define the first point of the path Click to define the angle (the second point of the path) Run the script (for the first image you will have to activate the script and press Enter - for subsequent images just press Ctrl-F) Save the image (File/Overwrite xx) Let me know if you have problems writing a script. The following is more complicated than you need but does show path handling: http://www.programmer97.talktalk.net/Files/arrow.zip Hope this helps. >Got deflected onto another task for a few days.

How do you determine the angle of rotation? Got deflected onto another task for a few days. I will try both these approaches this week. What I am doing is comparing the hydrodynamic centerline of dolphin fins. "How do you determine the angle of rotation?" Each fin has a unique centerline, but each photo has a rotational bias imposed by the photographers' technique, environmental conditions and such. Once I establish the root of the fin and centerline, I paste that as new layer over a protractor image with a center-point of 53,672 (an artifact of the protractor image nothing more). Then I use the rotate tool to move the centerline to 40 degrees. The angular correction measured for the line becomes the correction for the fin photo. With the fin photo rotated it can now be compared fin-to-fin with other images corrected in a similar way. -- Stratos (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Image Rotation Auto Center
>I'm looking for a way to set the auto center for rotation to 53, 672 >instead of the image center. I have 1200 images to process and >reducing even a few keystrokes makes a big difference. tks, S If you are able to build GIMP from source you could edit the following lines in function gimp_rotate_tool_prepare() in gimprotatetool.c/. Change the lines: tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_X] = (gdouble) (tr_tool->x1 + tr_tool->x2) / 2.0; tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_Y] = (gdouble) (tr_tool->y1 + tr_tool->y2) / 2.0; to read: tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_X] = (gdouble) 672; tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_Y] = (gdouble) 53; (Ideally the rotate tool would remember the last centre of rotation (at least for the current session of GIMP) and have a button that you could use to reset the centre of rotation to the centre of the image). and when you activate the rotate tool the centre of rotation will be set as you want it. Alternatively Ofnuts suggestion 2) (or a variant of it) would be your best bet. How do you determine the angle of rotation? -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.9.8 released
Hi, finally, a new development snapshot! We just released the fourth development snapshot in the GIMP 2.9.x series leading to GIMP 2.10. This is an unstable development preview and might crash or do whatever. If you try it for work, please save your images more often. For a complete list of changes since 2.9.6 please see the "Changes" section below. There is also a release announcement on www.gimp.org with screenshots and some videos: https://www.gimp.org/news/2017/12/12/gimp-2-9-8-released/ Happy GIMPing, --Mitch Download GIMP 2.9.8 is available from: https://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.9/ and from the mirrors listed at: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/#mirrors The checksum of the tarball is: bade4163fb5b7a2063e1db570f27242f gimp-2.9.8.tar.bz2 Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.9.6 to GIMP 2.9.8 = Core: - The default brush is now "Hardness 050". - Verbose version (command line: gimp -v) now displays C compiler information. - Transform tools don't commit identity transformation anymore. - Manual language can now be selected amongst all installed manuals, which is particularly interesting when no GIMP manuals are available in your GUI language. This will be proposed by default when a manual is not installed for the GUI language (alongside the possibility to read online) and the choice can be edited in preferences. - The statusbar now blinks on warnings and errors. - Paste in Place, available for regular clipboard and named buffers, allows pasting contents of either the clipboard a named buffer at the exact coordinates it was copied from. - Color Picker should now work on KDE/Wayland. - Color Picker now reads values under cursor in local windows making it work at least inside GIMP Windows on Wayland platforms with no color-picking capabilities (for instance GNOME/Wayland) yet. - OpenCL is now disabled by default. Depending on graphics cards and drivers, OpenCL acceleration is often slower than multi-threaded implementation, and can also sometimes be "glitchy". - Now possible to open a locally-installed manual different from the GUI localization. The manual language choice can be customized through preferences when several manuals are installed. If no manual language has been selected already and no manual for current GUI localization is available, choice of help language will be proposed at first call to the manual. Configurability: - Keybindings now possible for previous/next/top/bottom channel. Usability: - The spinscale widget now highlights vertical parts of the slider section differently to hint that position of cursor above the widget matters. When changing values in the lower step section, the pointer will be wrapped around the screen so that you could continue adjusting the value without interruptions. - Canvas rotation and flip information is now visible in the status bar (as angle value and flip icon). Clicking on these canvas status will respectively raise the "Select Rotation Angle" dialog or unflip the canvas. - Use abbreviated versions for long layer mode names. In particular, replace the "(legacy)" suffixes with "(l)" in the abbreviated versions, still showing the unabbreviated names in the full list. Tools: - Blend tool now features on-canvas gradient editing: adding, shifting, removing color stops, shifting midpoints and converting them to color stops, assignging colors to color stops, changing blending type for midpoints. Additional options: 'Instant mode' (active before you start blending) to support the old workflow where you can't edit color stops before applying the gradient fill, and 'Modify active gradient' which allows changing user- writable gradients directly rather than creating copies of them. Moreover, custom gradient is now saved and restored across sessions. - All transform tools: it makes no difference now whether a modifier is pressed before of after mouse button press/release. - Free Select tool selection can now be committed with double click as well (only through Enter key before). This allows smoother workflows on some setups, and in particular when no keyboard is available (e.g. tablet-like computers). - Layer group children now inherit the color tags of the parent by default, unless specific color tags are assigned. Inherited color tags show in a less saturated color than assigned ones. Painting: - When copying a generated brush, GIMP now copies its 'Spacing' property. - Rename "Wheel" dynamics labels as "Wheel/Rotation". It turns out that Wacom Art Pen and Airbrush pen use the same axis for barrel rotation and wheel scrolling respectively. Therefore they already work in GIMP. "Unhide" the feature with more obvious labels. Color management: -
