The original form still lives on a little in some Swedish dialects (and maybe in some Norwegian ones too, I don't know) among the older speakers. To fuck=”att fucka” or ”att focka”; the spelling wasn't that consistent all those years ago. It wasn't until 1906 it was officially decided how Swedish words should be spelled, and it took a couple of decades before it was publicly accepted, I don't think there is an equivalent to ”fuck you” using the old Norse word in Swedish, though. We express that in other ways, like ”dra åt helvete” (”go to hell”), ”skit ner dig” (”crap yourself”), ”stick och brinn” (”go burn”) and whatever the situation demands. Anyway, you message doesn't make me believe that you are interested in actually solving your issues with GIMP at all, so why don't you just use another application? That should do it, right? How hard can it be? Nobody here is (probably) interested in your whining if you behave like a five year old, just saying. I, for instance, didn't even read all of it.

Re: [Gimp-user] Giving up on GIMP

Unfortunately you didn't provide much useful information. We still don't know anything about your system. Gimp version, operating system and its version, anything that would help to reproduce your problem, so feel welcome back to provide that information and more if possible. The more the better. > > I am obviously not alone with this problem Nothing that you wrote makes that obvious. You only mentioned that you have that problem, I saw no examples of other's having it as well. Not saying nobody else has that problem, but you can't just say that without any kind of reference and expect everyone to just buy it or at least agree that it's obvious. To me it's not obvious, I only saw you, no one else, writing about it. so if anyone knows how to fix > it please, please tell the world - otherwise Gimp is junk. > This is not a mailing list that tries to sell you and other people anything. This is a mailing list for users who help each other. Calling Gimp ”junk”, no matter if it's true or not, doesn't make more people to want to help you and it won't help in any other way either. You are free to think it's junk, but mentioning it here fills absolutely no real purpose. About the subject ”Giving up on Gimp”, that's not a very describing title, is it? What makes you think that people who can actually help you will even open such a message in the first place? The subject ”opening this is a waste of time” would have an equal attraction, I'd guess. That said, welcome back with more information. Maybe someone can help you. I tried to reproduce your problem, but I couldn't. Seems like the brushes works fine on my system.

[Gimp-user] Export and scale down at the same time
Hi again! I'm currently working with a huge image, 19262×12825, and now when I finished it I want to export it as jpeg. In the export dialogue, I can easily change the quality, and since the image is maybe 95 % white I can select a very low quality number and still keep a decent quality, but the file size is still at least 5 MiB. The high resolution is not necessary at all. The reason for having it in the first place is that I scanned an A2 document with an A4 scanner four times and put it together in GIMP and I used the scanner's highest resolution; I figured it's best to have the best possible resolution to work with and then scale it down as the last step of the process. Anyway, to save it, scaled down to, I don't know, maybe 20 % or even 10, I first need to scale down the whole file, then export and then undo the down-scaling (or quit without saving), or is there an easier way? I wish there was a scale option in the jpeg quality dialogue or in a separate dialogue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something?

[Gimp-user] Copy selection to a new layer
Hi! I'm using Gimp 2.10.6 and I wonder how I'm supposed to copy a small selection of a particular layer in a huge image to a new layer or perhaps an existing layer. When I hit Ctrl+c, the whole layer is copied to the clipboard, not just what's in the current selection. I do my selection with the rectangle selection tool (shortcut R). How is this supposed to be done? I searched the web but I didn't find anything that actually worked. ___ 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
