Personally I had no idea that you ever did anything but port it otherwise unchanged to the GIMP 2.x.

The Linspire dialog is definitely 4.2, not 5.0. The one you folks have in the GIMP is based on 4.2. > 3) That's what happens when nobody steps forward to maintain the >plugin and I have to do UI stuff.

That never happened and at some point I definitely lost interest. At the moment I am more inclined to drop the print plug-in from the GIMP tree entirely. Or perhaps replace it with a simple one that is based on libgnomeprint / libgnomeprintui. The idea was that we'd turn it over to you when 5.0 was released. Regardless, we've pretty clearly dropped the ball here, since 5.0 has taken a lot longer than plan. I don't entirely regret that, since we've done some important things, but facts is facts and I don't blame you for losing interest in it. -- Robert Krawitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for Gimp Print --http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The numbers you have shown so far can easily be explained by memory fragmentation and the fact that glibc allocates memory in pools. Smaller memory fragments are not returned to the operating system but are being kept for reuse in the application. Please run your script a lot more often and see if there's a significant increase in memory.

It is in GNOME CVS, module gimp-web. There's also a mailing-list dedicated to the web-site. Perhaps you want to take further discussion to it.

Most especially, this is the whole point of the View->New View feature. I like to use grids, and zoom in a lot, when editing some graphics (esp. sprites and other artwork for cellphone games). It really helps to have a 1:1 view sitting on my screen where I can see it, with all of the layer borders, selection borders, and snap-to-grids disabled. -bill! ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] The GUI
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I agree with both arguments. The ability to tab images like i tab xterms would be very useful. At the same time, there are in fact a lot of times where i want to see more than one image at once...and this is very common if you're doing lots of graphics work. Its actually been painful that scribus doesn't seem to like showing multiple documents at once...but a lot of layout apps are like this, so i can deal with it. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDBI/byAc5jM0nFbgRAk6AAJ9T1nblJZi+J2/mmhV80mcC5/tEAACgxzIa /HzznoYcZGfVJ/JKG/8kLGI= =c5at -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Chris Clymer n:Clymer;Chris email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;cell:330.507.3651 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
