 Hi,

 The semantics of gimp_export_image() are complete crap (I wrote this
 code in the first place, so I have the right to say that). So let's not
 make this error worse by introducing a new function that has the same
 broken semantics. If you really need the semantics of
 gimp_export_image() as an interim solution, that's fine. But then we
 don't need to add an extra API for this. If you pass NULL as
 'format_name' to gimp_export_image(), then it will not ask the user any
 dialogs. So it will do exactly what you proposed for
 gimp_export_prepare_image().

That would not be a good API, but as an interim solution it would work. 
So the only API I will add to libgimp then is

   GtkWidget *
   gimp_export_dialog_new (const gchar *format_name,
   const gchar *role,
   const gchar *help_id)

   GtkWidget *
   gimp_export_dialog_get_content_area (GtkWidget *dialog)

Unless more complications arise I will add and port to this API soon

  GIMP 2.6.7 release with this fix soonish. There are however a few more

  few more days...

 Any update on a GEGL 1.0 compatible GIMP 2.6.7?

Still in the queue and the number of pending patches is going down...

[Gimp-developer] What would be a better set of default resources?

2009-07-19 Thread Martin Nordholts
Hi,

With the integration of tagging support in GIMP we have a mechanism that 
allows us to organize resources (brushes, patterns, palettes, and 
gradients). This enables us to add a bigger set of default resources.

Not being an artist myself makes me rather useless for this task. To get 
things rolling I thought I'd start a discussion on what a better set of 
default resources would be.

A few things are clear:

  * The new default resources must fit the product vision [1]
  * The resources must be very general in nature
  * We can't have a huge set of resources since we need to keep
the size of the tarball within reasonable limits
  * We not only need resources, we also need to assign tags to them

I think we at least should:

  * Add larger variants of the circle and fuzzy circle
brushes, say 50, 100, 250 and 500 px
  * Try to get rid of the Pepper, Sparks and Vine brushes
in a backwards compatible way

Does anyone have any suggestions on adjustments and additions to the 
default set of GIMP resources?

  / Martin

I have a few suggestions as a creative/artistic user which uses GIMP 
mainly with a pen tablet (as probably any other people who is serious 
into raster graphic art). I'm not sure if they fit the product vision, 
but I'm trying anyway:

- As you say, add larger variants of standard brushes. Artists typically 
work on rather large canvases (I personally use 300 dpi A4, which 
equates roughly to 3500x2500 pixels). The standard maximum brush size of 
19 pixels at these resolutions can be quite small.

- Add some variations of rake brushes (not standard in Gimp right now) 
and more different types and sizes of bristle brushes.

- Add more realistic patterns from commonly used artistic media (for 
example different types of paper, etc), to simulate easily its texture 
while drawing.

I would re-suggest integrating GHNS or have a similar way of easy
sharing of resources from The GIMP or all  CREATE projects. Once that
is done, the most popular brushes can be added to the default set.
What say ?? Just my 2 cents.
