[Gimp-user] gimp 2.8 export, after save as keeps old files name
Hello again, i also do not want to see a prompt for a new exporting name, but i expect from gimp exporting the "new" file ( which is created by "save as") with the "new file" name, because i think a file should be exported with its file name by default. I don't get why i would expect exporting a new file by defaul with an old or different file name, could anyone please enlighten me? >Hi Realbezo, > >I think you could make your self understood - >but maybe you haven't got any answers because the issue you report is >not perceived as a problem >for the people who have read it - After all, if you changed the >filename, all you have to do is >to use the "export..." option to reset the filename of the exported >work, instead of >repeating "export to...".

[Gimp-user] text tool chanes text properties when i paste over old text content
Thanks for the tip, at least i have that feature back with setting my gimp to Single Window Mode from Windows menu. But it made my workspace area smaller, i got used to work with floating window mode. I don't know if it is a bug but it is annoying. Is this the official forum of gimp and where can i report a bug or request something about gimp, because the developer team do not seem to be around, or they have so much work to do in their daily life... Anyway, thanks for your help... >Hello, >I don't know the sourcecode and therefore cannot be sure about this, but >here's what I've concluded from observation: >Text in GIMP saves it's properties in two different places: One set of >properties that is the standard for the entire text layer and then the >modified parameters for every letter you change.

Hi, i switched gimp 2.6 to 2.8 and new text tool behaves strangely, as i remember in gimp 2.6 when i try to change text content with selecting old text and pasting new text i could use same text size and same font with my old text without doing anything but now in the gim 2.8 whenever i try to change content of a text layer i need to choose again font and text size from toolbox options, but why do i have to do this, i have a text placed on my image with a certain font and certain font size and i just want to alter my text conten not the size of text or font , it changes automatically to back text size and font whatever i used last time in another work. summary: i want to change my text content without setting my font and font size properties, i want to use my text layers old properties, please give the feature back... -- realbezo (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] gimp 2.8 export, after save as keeps old files name
Hello, may be because of my english i cannot explain myself clearly ( it is not my main language) For example i create a new file "first_file.xcf" and then i make some changes, save it and export it with ctrl+e as "first_file.png", then i make some more changes and save my file as "second_file.xcf" and export it with ctrl+e, but Gimp 2.8 does not export my file with the new filename "second_file.png", instead of using new file name it uses the name "first_file.png" and overwrites my file that i exported earlier.

[Gimp-user] gimp 2.8 export, after save as keeps old files name
I know that i can export it with different file name but i don't believe it is simple and convenient, because while working it is hard to remember that gimp 2.8 has a strange feature for exporting and keeps old file name for exporting. And people tend to use ctrl+e automatically, and it messes all the work which is done... >I believe the simple answer to your question is use the export to new file >option under the file menu.

[Gimp-user] gimp 2.8 text size problem
Hello, i noticed that after duplicating a text layer when i try to change the text content, the text layer changes the size of text to the size what is set in the text tool... For example, when the text size is 48 in the text tool dialog and i have a text layer with text size 12 and i duplicate my layer and want to change the text layers content, i select all text via ctrl+a and try to write a new text but the text size changes to 48, and everytime i have to set it manually again. Is this a normal behavior for text tool... -- realbezo (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
