[Gimp-user] Print layout not keeping track ?
OK, glad to see I am not the only one… I didn't know it was such a common problem, nor that it would require such extreme measures as using scribus to print a simple image file… I like scribus a lot, that's a good idea indeed !

[Gimp-user] Print layout not keeping track ?
Hello ! I have spent the last 3 hours trying to print an image properly under Windows 7. If I use the print command under Windows' explorer, I get that crap assistant that is always streching pictures to fit the paper. So I wanted to stick to GIMP, and print my little 5cm × 4cm image onto a 10x15 paper. But no matter how many times i tried, it is impossible to specify the layout as being something different from A4. I go to FIle -> Layout (underneath the "print" line) and specify 4"×6" (10x15), press OK and that doesn't stay this way ! If i re-open the dialog, it is back to square 1, A4. All in all, I find printing the right size to be a perfect nightmare: either Windows 7 messes up with its assistant, or GIMP can't stick to one layout, or CANON's drivers are a mess… In the meantime, what I did is open an exported image with xnView: there the very same "layout" dialog keeps track of what I say and helps… -- Gwenouille (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] Wacom pens with rotation supported ?
Clearly the Wacom support on Windows is inadequate. Whether it's GIMP's or Windows' or GTK+'s fault, I don't know, but the GIMP developers certainly know. Look at the two different states of the Input Devices dialog I attach to this message. I'd like to, but i see no attached images ! Where can i find them ? I see no image in the message, and no link to them. Good to know that the developpers know about that. I know there are plans to move to GTK3, maybe that'll solve the issue. The various Wacom pens are not specifically detected by the input device support, since when I took the two attached sceenshots, I was not even using the tablet. And the Wheel line is present for all Wacom components, including the eraser, the cursor (i.e., the Wacom mouse), and the pad. I'd like to see that screenshot ! That's a version of Ubuntu much too old. GIMP 2.8 does not work with 11.04, and I understand that having it to work with 11.10 needs a little preliminary work. With 12.04, it's directly accessible via apt-get or similar tools. Understood. I will burn an iso for the new LTS version. But nevertheless, I've started gimp on that old ubuntu, and i had more input devices than on Windows... I'm going to look at wacom forums too... -- Gwenouille (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Thanks for the forum explanation and the links ! Maybe you could send me a copy of your devicerc file ? This way i might be able to force GIMP to use the wheel ? So far I've been able to add a value to the wheel line (6 instead of rien), but no changes... -- Gwenouille (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Wacom pens with rotation supported ?
I've managed to play with the devicesrc file. It now looks like that: http://glp.lescigales.org/it/blender/devicerc And if i open GIMP, i get that input device list, which looks lovely ! http://glp.lescigales.org/it/blender/Input%20devices.jpg But still no change: the wheel data has no effect. I've mapped it to rotation of a flat brush to be sure. -- Gwenouille (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I don't think you need anything there. But are we speaking about the same thing? In Image: Edit - Input Devices there are Axes and Keys. Axes is used for setting the answer curve of the pressure. Keys is not used at all. But that's with GNU/Linux. Yes, input devices, not peripherals (says peripheriques in french) Yes, i can see axes and keys. Nothing under Keys, and under axes: X:1 Y:2 Pressure:3 X Tilt: 4 Y Tilt: 5 Roulette (wheel): ien (nothing) I find surprising that nothing corresponds to the missing functionnality... Linking Wheel to Pressure may be difficult to test. Here is a sketch using the Wacom Paint Brush, with Wheel linked to Angle and a round hard brush with Aspect Ratio set to 10. I can't see any sketch, but I've tried it your way. Hard brush, flattened by aspect ratio, and the wheel to control the angle. No result... Still dead horizontal no matter what. I can control that the wacom driver reads the wheel value alright in the control panel diagnose area... I will try to install an ubuntu somewhere to see what it is like under Linux. -- Gwenouille (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Did you select one of the components of the tablet, in the list on the left? This list mentions the various peripherals. For example, for me it contains four entries for the Wacom tablet. If I select one of them, all entries under Axes specify a number. Yes i did, in fact there are 3 entries: Core pointer (my mouse) Wacom Tablet Eraser Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus Doesn't matter if i start Gimp with the mouse, stylus, airbrush... I get these 3. Notice that the airbrush isn't in there. But both the Eraser and Stylus have a Roulette:rien line under the Axes table I guess i should find some WACOM Tablet Airbrush line on the left for the airbrush ? And choosing that would lead to having a Roulette entry under the Axes table ? So does it mean that the driver isn't presenting the full array of available pens to GIMP ? Probably because you are looking at your mouse or something else? Well, i am surely looking at the stylus, but not at the mouse, that's for sure. In fact I choose Eraser or Stylus to get to see that list with the wheel. It was attached to the message. Oh ? I didn't find anything... Don't worry i get the idea of what it should have looked like ! Try the last version, 12.04. I hate the Unity environment, but you may like it, or change to Gnome 3 or even something similar to Gnome 2. Understood ! In fact i already have an old Ubuntu Karmic Koala somewhere on another hard drive. I'll boot on that later. And we can continue this conversation privately in French. Well, why not, but since this info might help someone else on the forum, I don't mind carrying on in English. -- Gwenouille (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Wacom pens with rotation supported ?
Thanks Olivier, your help is much appreciated. Another question from my side: Can GIMP really manage several wacom pens ? I mean can it recognize them as being different and assign different tools/settings to them ? I have an airbrush and the grip pen and only the grip pen is available. The brush works, but they act as one, having the same tools etc. I cannot have pencil on the grip pen and airbrush on the airbrush for instance... Can you ? PS: I use win 7 and the Wacom Control panel makes the distinction alright. -- Gwenouille (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

It's the Wheel column in the Mapping matrix of the Paint Dynamics Editor.
Isn't wheel the option for the airbrush pen ? The one with the little wheel on
top ?
I am rather talking about that pen:
https://www.wacom.com/en/Store/Pages/Product.aspx?product=ZP600crumb={61BE90DC-FD90-423A-AB1B-E93B704BEB43}
It is rotation sensitive, unlike the grip or airbrush pens.

It's used for this one too. Your link does not work for me, but I know the Art Pen. I'm using it with the Wheel parameter.

[Gimp-user] Wacom pens with rotation supported ?
Hi ! I was about to buy an art pen for my wacom (the ones that support the rotation infos in addition of tilt pressure etc...). But before i do, I'd love to know if GIMP can handle that info to actually rotate brushes ? Can someone confirm it does ? Thanks a lot for any info !
