[Gimp-developer] Re: xwd screen shot problems
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-08-25 at 2218.12 -0700): Hi. Unless I'm mistaken xwd isn't capable of capturing 24-bit visuals. It seems almost useless on modern hardware. Is this an issue that has been discussed here before? OOh, well, then my computer does magic. ;] Attempting to capture graphics-intense windows with xwd on x86-based XFree86 3.x or 4.x just gives a misleading error message, extra confusing because other simpler windows on the same desktop will capture without trouble. xwd worked here in 3.x and is working with 4.0.3. Can you define intense? Tried with browsers with a anim playing and a OpenGL app to test. Do you mean video playback windows? The ImageMagic import utility works consistently and writes directly to png. Is there any thought to switching Gimp screen capture to use import? IIRC, ImageMagick writes to what you put as name, so if you say foo.jpg, it writes a jpeg, and if you do not specify, you get a miff. And import, at least when I tried with 3.x, had a bug that raised windows even if you do not wanted.

Is this an issue that has been discussed here before? it seems you are mistaken. What makes you think xwd can't capture TrueColor? How are you using the term 24-bit visuals here (24 bit color-depth or 24 bit aligned pixels) ?

The ImageMagic import utility works consistently and writes directly to png. Is there any thought to switching Gimp screen capture to use import? I was thinking about using some GDK features introduced in GTK+-2.0, but no new code has yet been written and we are open for suggestions. I don't think however that using import from ImageMagick is a reasonable solution. xwd is at least guaranteed to be available (on X11) which can't be said about ImageMagick.

Is this a known bug and is this due to the switch to the version 2.0 of gtk+? Is there anything I can do to help fixing this? I've notice that plugins use gtk_signal* fonctions while the gimp application (under the app directory) use g_signal* ones. This lets me think the plugins are not yet converted to use gtk+-2.0. If you can tell me what need to be changed for the migration, I'll be happy to fix all these plugins. To be more precise, here are the plugins I've seen crashed on invocation : - destripe, - NL filter, - gflare, - gimpressionist, - gfig, - gdyntext, - imagemap, - jpeg. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Applause, n: The echo of a platitude from the mouth of a fool. -- Ambrose Bierce ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
