Announce:
I'm pleased to announce a new mailing list: linux-graphics-dev
at http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev;.
It is a get-together list for open source, free graphics software
developers working in Linux.
The mailing list is convenietly also available in digested

A couple of people asked this question - I thought I'd explained the idea
pretty well, but I guess I missed the mark.
Gone with the wind?
How about changing the title of the list to retired GIMP coders?
Then everyone would know what you really mean.
Sooo...

The point is that you misunderstood what a selection is. A selection
is a mask holding a selection value between 0 and 255 for each pixel
in the image. What you see on the GIMP canvas is just the selection
border
OK. I was writing about a tool which is used
Hello.
The GIMP does not compile in my Linux and thus I cannot fully develop
the tool myself:

tool and the Bezier selection tool are not visible in all views of
the
Hello.
More in-between steps in the logaritmic zoom (...,2:1,1:1,1:2, 1:4,...)
would be nice, but nothing fancy like more steps around 1:1 is not
needed here.
There are more important problems relating to the zoom and resolution:
I scanned a drawing and wanted to complete it with GIMP. After I
Hello.
Has anyone else found the path tool hard to use?
IMHO, the usability is very low there. If I choose to make first
a polyline and then adjust the curve, the curve type seems to be
unsuitable. The curve goes easily to serpent. If I choose to
make the curve progressively, I have to switch

What we are aiming for is a lot more complex than what GtkPreview is
providing. The goal is to have a widget that can zoom and pan. It
should also provide an API that allows to use the same image
processing routines for the preview as are used for the

Well, something is wrong with _your_ Linux then. But unless you tell
us about your problems, we won't be able to help you.
Yes, I don't update my Linux weekly. That is the problem.

Could you read the sketchpad.pdf and check how it differs from
how the path tool is handled?
It would be your task to explain to explain to me what you want. As I
said earlier I am quite satisfied with the way it works now.
No. It is better that some of you

I don't see how this could be useful in an image manipulation context.
If implemented for a program primarily intended for vector stuff
(Skencil, Sodipodi) this might be very helpful, but in GIMP the primary
goal for now is to create pixel based images - which

Would it be possible to solve this issue by placing transient corners
on the image?
It perhaps would not be a good idea if the original corner would
move when the equivalent transient corner is moved.
Also, user would be moving a completely

I get the impression that you did not understand how the key modifiers
of the selection tools work. I admit that it's not obvious but it's a
very powerful concept that I would hate to loose.
Multiple selection tools. There is
Hello.
Several mails in this thread says that the images will be converted
between colorspaces, such as monitor colorspace.
Does GIMP keep two versions of the same image: one for image processing
and saving, and one for displaying?

Adding more tools has the disadvantage of cluttering the toolbox.
Just suggestions:
Solution 1: everything goes to menu (tree) and each non-default
menu item would have toggle which would append it to the toolbox.
Solution 2: toolbox (and menues) could be

there is nothing more adjustable than a layer that you make and use as a

space being taken in the file.

Hmmm.. people should start working on the tool plugin system
so that some of us may have very specialized tools if we want to
have them. I don't make art with GIMP and so I have not used to

the selection making but the guides are

Can the existing plugin system do the following? A color picker
plugin would (1) receive events about the cursor location and
(2) set the current color. If not, then we should think about
how to change the plugin system.
The tools would need to draw graphics. They could simply create

Hello. I would like to know how I could re-use the existing rectangle
selection tool codes for my tool:
My simple rectangle selection tool would maintain one rectangle (four
vertexes joined with edges). User may adjust the selected rectangle
by grabbing and dragging the vertexes or the edges.

What I _want_ is a straight line, constrained to horizontal or
vertical, drawn with the caligraphic brush (so it has a chiselled end)
and using the fade out option, so it disappears smoothly over a
distance.
What are the current plans on adding vector drawing to GIMP?

It's already ambivalent to have GIMP running on windows

by supporting these formats, and thereby supporting M$.
The free software community doesn't get any support from
them either.

An important different from the old tool is that the

corners. You should be able to click on any corner or edge and drag

If I have multiple views to the same image, is the rectangle tool,
the crop tool, etc. visible in each view?
For example, I may have one view to the entire 5000x5000 image,
and second view of size 500x500 in which I do precision placement
of the tools.

I don't think such a thing can be implemented without massive changes to
the internals. But why would your users want such a behaviour? And what
are your users?
As I seem to have requested similar functionality, I would like to
know what are these internals.
How about a large toolbar window?
When an operation is needed, the toolbar window pops up with a key press.
Remember, many software have a quick reference card of one or two pages.
One could typeset the card in the toolbar window (possibly multiple pages)
and add transparent buttons over it. No

The old crop tools was ok if you have a fixed target size.
The dialog always got in the way for the cases where you crop
the image to find the right aspect.

anymore there. Is that the case?
