Re: [Gimp-user] export vs save

2013-02-18 Thread Christen Anderson
It would be interesting to know how many list messages by Maderios are 
on this old, worn-out topic. Please, everyone, complaining is getting 
you nowhere and is annoying the rest of us who actually have more 
productive things to do. Surely there's a way to block certain email 
addresses from posting on the list again?!!


For the record, I'm not 100% happy with the change either, but I 
understand the devs point of view and, since the software is free and 
much better than Photoshop, I'm willing to live with a little bit of 
inconvenience.

While I wouldn't say that the team are no developers, they probably 
aren't by your definition.


Your problem is that this team managed to convince the developers (by 
your definition) to implement their plans. And apparently those are 
spreading to other software.



These guys are "architects", they don't need Gimp...
No artists, photographers, designers.
Photoshop was made for professional photographers
That's the difference.

Hey Olivier,

You might want to take a look at the PDF file for the sample
chapter:  In Evince, I could only see the images and page footers;
text was blank, and highlighting did not make it visible.
Converting it to ePub with Calibre brought the text back, but the
page layouts were so badly chopped up that I could not make sense of
them.

Ironically, the only thing I found that would make the PDF readable
here, was to import it into the GIMP.  I found a script to export
the layers as images, and used Imagemagick to make them into a PDF
for convenient reading.  (Ironic?)  BTW that script rocks:

http://registry.gimp.org/node/25394

This shows up at File > Layers next to the other Export commands.

My result is readable but not good enough to distribute for
promotional purposes.  I have not read it yet but it looks promising
and I will comment later...

:o)

Just for the record, I opened the sample PDF file in my browser (chrome) 
and had no problems...

Not sure if that means anything, but thought I'd throw it out there :)

Hi
I use .xcf files but my friends, my family members and most people, I

People will leave the world of free software to turn to proprietary.
Gimp is no longer the "universal Swiss army knife " of image editing,

I've always heard you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. We're

complain because it's not exactly what they wanted. So why are the 
devs getting all that flak? I'm beginning to think it's just plain bad

As I said, I have a lot of respect for open source developers -
and as to the figures, I have no way (and neither do you) of
knowing the exact percentage - maybe its more than half.


Let's think: how many people have written in about this? Fifty, a 
hundred? Count the emails if you like. And then there are thousands 
more GIMP users who didn't find the issue was worth complaining about. 
Are you seriously claiming to speak for those people? Any disgruntled 
GIMP user can probably find this list if they have something to say. 
If they don't, then they don't.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp-2.8_Save and save as bad behavior

2012-08-11 Thread Christen Anderson

Steve,

I've tried to stay out of the save/export discussion so far, for the 
most part. But I have to say, the amount of flak the developers are 
taking about this is totally unjustified. I didn't like the new behavior 
at first, but I have gotten used to it... as can every other user. If 
you can't adapt, change the software. This is, after all, one of the 
benefits of FOSS - you are free to modify the code to fit your own needs.


On 8/11/2012 10:03 PM, kiwi_steve wrote:

And judging from the number of people (myself included) who are still annoyed 
about it and asking for it to be put back the way it was, the questions and 
concerns are NOT being answered - unless you call telling people to just get

The Gimp development team needs to listen, and listen carefully.  This is a 
major change, and many people don't like it (yes, I know many do as well... but 
you've split the community, and thats the point I'm making).  I have respect 
for open-source developers, but I also wonder how hard-nosed the developers 
would be if this was a paid application and a bunch of their paying customers 
started complaining about a divisive change.  I hope they're not thinking that 
because they're not getting paid they can trample over half their user-base 
with impunity.


*half* their user base? I think that's rather an exaggeration.
and I think that they deserve a little (read "a lot") of respect simply 
for being willing to go to all the work of creating the best image 
editing software out there without being paid for it!


I humbly ask that the developers please put it back the way it was, or at the very least 
have a "legacy save" option users can activate in the options so people like 
the original poster, myself and all the others who use Gimp regularly and hate this new 
save work-un-flow option can be happy again.


If you would read previous posts, you would know why this is not going 
to happen. As I stated earlier, if you really want it changed that 
badly, please feel free to modify the GIMP code.


My not-so-humble 2.5c (tax inclusive)

Steve


Sorry if this email sounded harsh in any way. I'm not trying to downplay 
your concerns, but I am getting rather tired of the same old arguments 
being brought up and hashed out again and again.


Devs, IIRC, something came up awhile back about putting this in the FAQ. 
Do you think someone could make a webpage just explaining all of this so 
the GIMP user community can put this subject to rest? =)
