floating point (was: Re: [Gimp-developer] RH on Film Gimp and GIMP)

This would drastically simplify the internal rendering engine and allow us to optimize it significantly. Since we don't see any real reasons why high-end paint work could not be done entirely in 32-bit float, this is a reasonable thing. I'm just curious: What do you get by using 32-bit _float_? Why not use 1.31-Bit Fixed Point? It should have a higher precision than 32-bit float - at least, it's precision is steady.

The point is probably to be allowed to go below 0 or over 1 -- you might not always want to work in a clamped range, like fixed point does. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi, Malcolm Tredinnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Err .. I didn't read the message correctly. You will need to edit the %install section and change the relevant strip command, not the %files %section. But I'm sure you get the general gist. Sorry about that. and when you are done fixing the spec file, please contribute your changes back. Actually I'm tempted to remove the spec file as well as the debian directory since they are unmaintained and outdated and shipping these non-functional versions won't help anyone.

What about importing the latest debian/ directory from the latest Debian GIMP package, then take it from there? sounds like a good idea. If you care, please attach the file or a patch to bugzilla or send me that file. I don't care enough to go thru the hassle of extracting the file from the debian package.

Have they done anything with GIMP since 1997? no, they haven't but of course they are still in the list of developers. The list on the web is not uptodate however. From the list on www.gimp.org, the only developers who are still active are Sven Neumann (neo in CVS logs), Michael Natterer (mitch) and Manish Singh (yosh). The other people listed there haven't contributed much in the last months. I don't know if this list should be updated or not. Maybe when the new site design is ready? I don't think that we should remove the past contributors anyway. Maybe the list should include the new contributors and maybe it should be sorted in a different order (importance of latest contributions? but who would estimate that?). Who is actively working on GIMP? http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gimp/ChangeLog Another way to see this is to have a look at the CVS checkins in the last week (about 168 hours). This link will give you the full list including the number of lines of code added or changed by each contributor. But do not call this too frequently, because this query puts some strain on the server: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?dir=gimpdate=hourshours=168 In summary, the most active developers are Mitch and Sven who get the lion's share, followed by Yosh, Maurits Rijk, Dave Neary and some others who contribute from a few dozens to a few hunded lines of code or documentation per week. There are also some contributions through Bugzilla, but this is harder to evaluate. -Raphaël ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi Carol, Carol Spears [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: i was using data/images/eek.png on my desktop. now it seems to be missing. I guess you refer to themes/Default/images/stock-wilber-eek.png which used to get installed into $(gimpdatadir)/themes/Default/images. This file has been renamed to stock-wilber-eek-64.png. Or are you talking about pixmaps/eek.xpm from the 1.2 branch? That file never got installed outside the gimp source tree.
