Personally, I think that Discourse will be more than able to handle this amount of messaging, will likely even lead to an increase in volume, and be able to reach more people in general. -- Regards, Michael ___ 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

I don't think changing to a service many people wouldn't even have heard of is very viable. Even email is not really in use by many people beyond receiving email notifications and password reset mails for accounts they have at various services. Discourse is usable via its web interface and email (you can get notifications and reply by mail, there's even a way to send some commands) - so it seems to cater to a larger group overall. -- Regards, Michael ___ 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

Myself I barely look at mailing lists every once in a while and make a random answer sometimes. And there were several mailing lists I was not even subscribed to (I did for the sake of this announcement). So that's probably why none from the core team is really trying to fight this change. There is one more thing to take into consideration: more infrastructure means more work. I said it above, I am exhausted by this all. I was only managing one of the mailing lists so far (the gimp-gui one, the most recent) and still had to regularly handle spams. I am personally thankful that this work goes to GNOME admins now. Spam did indeed heavily outweigh the on-topic messages on the other five mailing lists for quite some time - and anyone who's ever maintained a mailman-based mailing list can likely confirm that spam handling there is not as comfortable as doing this in e.g. a capable mail client. -- Regards, Michael ___ 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

The rectangle can be adjusted with an additional step - using the Rectangle select tool on an existing selection initializes it to the same size (or, more precisely, the size of the bounding box, which happens to be identical to that of a Select All rectangle). -- Regards, Michael ___ 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

Ignore this advise by Rick Strong and ditch tend micro - ASAP. I kind of doubt that TrendMicro is the problem, Set aside with the doubts because they ARE the problem Ruben, I am pretty sure that the core issue in this thread is experience. A bit of background: Security is a process. For any kind of effective security measures, you have to go through at least a planning, and implementing and an operations stage. That means you collect the requirements you have, evaluate what solutions there are, which of them best suits your needs, decide which one you are going to use, then install and configure it to your needs, and then run it, update it, review its findings, keep yourself updated on any of its known issues, and so on. At every stage, you will learn a lot if you want to do them properly. BTW, I know that this is a rather rough and imprecise summary. Now, any of these stages can become arbitrarily short. Especially if you are not an employee at a company who gets paid for doing them and learning, but a user at home who follows the results of a "download antivirus" query in Google Search and clicks through the installer. If in doubt, you lack the time, motivation, and maybe the skills to do more than that, and an issue like that makes you hesitate. And then you ask people who may know more about the issue, for example people who are involved with and/or use the application your antivirus just flagged with a more or less cryptic message. What would you prefer to read as a reply: - a flat statement that the antivirus you are using is bad and you should use something else, without specifying what something would be good, and why? - and explanation of what may have happened, what can be done to examine if that was indeed the case, and potential remedies without changing your system more than necessary? It is a well-known fact that every antivirus software will occasionally find a so-called false positive, a file that is marked as containing a potential malware. Doing that makes none of them worse than any of its competition. You usually get a way to upload suspicious files to the vendor of the software to have it examined - this provides you with a report of what they found, and gives them an opportunity to improve the detection and avoid that same issue in future updates. Now, it is perfectly fine to keep up the statement that "they [TrendMicro] are the problem" *IF* you can add some verifiable/falsifiable facts to help others to determine this for themselves. This mailing list is not necessarily the best place to do so, however - I'd do this in a place where other security experts, including outspoken (but fair) critics of antivirus software, are around and can challenge your statement. If this was too much text, let me add one final fact: We know of no general issues of any specific antivirus solution and the GIMP installers. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ 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

I figured it was a dumb question and searched Google and FAQs, but > still can't find the answer. first, let's get one important aspect mentioned: XGimp is an Android (and iOS) application maintained by a third party with no connection to the GIMP project. We can't really help with any technical issues of the app. Some words of warning, though: >From as technical point of view, and to the extent we were able to tell, it is a combination of: - a simple image editor running on your mobile device - a remote desktop client connecting to a number of servers run by the third party mentioned before, and the GIMP application you are then using is run in this remote desktop environment The third party is offering a similar approach for other Free Software applications. As far as we can tell from what users have investigated, there is no session separation between different users, so you are able to see and open files uploaded by others, and vice-versa. It looks like users are also able to modify script files of the remote session, making this a potentially dangerous experience. Also, from what you are describing, the integration with the local file handling seems to be sub-par (this is something the app developers could and should handle a lot better in their actual app). > When I save the files, it won't let me save to my documents or my gallery.

So, unfortunately, not an answer to you question, but maybe this makes you reconsider whether you should be using the app at all. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ 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

You could ask the WordPerfect developers about this, maybe the unique combination of an old WP version on a current system sparks their interest and they can come up with possible reasons.
