Re: [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.7.1
Tor, and what solution can you advice? Now I can see two alternatives - to rename libraries and have UFRaw working, and do not rename libraries and do not use UFRaw.

There might be a good reason why the name was changed - namely because the API and/or ABI has changed. --tml With respect, Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.7.1
Tor, and what solution can you advice? File bugs with the respective maintainers to fix the problem? But yeah, that might take a while of course. So sure, if you know what you are doing, and you verify that it works, feel free to rename DLLs. But be aware then that telling about it might inspire random, more clueless, other people to repeat the trick without really knowing what they are doing. --tml ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I managed to install it according to those instructions. But something strange has happened: Gimp won't recognize any mouse clicks on the canvas. I can use dialogs and press toolbar buttons but I can't draw on the canvas. Stranger still, it affected Inkscape which now behaves the same way. Something to do with GTK maybe? Or possibly with Xorg.conf? I did attempt unsuccessfully to install my tablet (which is old and apparently no longer supported by LinuxWacom)m but I don't think I did any harm to the xorg.conf file, and anyway, other apps seem to be working fine, it's just the canvases on both Gimp and Inkscape. Any ideas? ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Any ideas? Its a known issue at least for me with GTK. Under some obscure conditions GTK stops calling the input callback for non-extended devices, if extended devices are present. It's a really strange bug, because randomly on some gimp starts everything works, and then again its not working. Disable any extended devices that you have enabled and it should work. On your tablet, theres a patch floating around for linuxwacom that adds the serial support back. It wasnt accepted to mainline because it broke some serial screen tablets and its creator has not fixed it. But as a theoretical way to use your old tablet again, its there. -- --Alexia ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Ooh, I just found out that the mouse was disabled as a pointing device! I enabled it and now everything works. OK, last question abou tthis release: when I try the text tool, there's a floating toolbar that hover over the top left side of the text frame. It seems like it's supposed to allow me to change the text style/size/etc on the selected text block, but it's always grayed out and I can't interact with it. The controls on the text dialog alway control the entire text block, not just the selection. Is this a bug or the current status of the tool?

Ooh, I just found out that the mouse was disabled as a pointing device! I enabled it and now everything works. O_o This either didnt work for me, or i didn't try it... If it does actually work with the same symptoms I had, it may help tracking down the bug. Enabling mouse as an extended device has never been mandatory before and feels like a bug.

Its a bug in GTK with extended devices and I believe a direct result of your fix to your previous problem. In your case, with tablet not working anyhow, just disable any and all extended devices that seem active and it should work as any ole toolbar. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
