 hi,
 
 i'am watching for a gui builder : what is gnoma, gtk, glade and why should i use 
them rather than xmotif or other gui builder?

gnome is a large development framework targettet to bringing MS windows
like desktop functionality to Unices.

gtk is a UI widget toolkit for X11, with a bunch of C helper functions
in Glib.

glade is an attempt at a WYSIWYG UI-builder for the gtk toolkit.

and if you're comfortable with motif, and you don;t need to integrate
your application into nome, I wouldn't know why you need to use
gnome/gtk/glade over xmotif.

 for a long time, which one is the best?

 Last thingy, about professional use of Gimp, isn't this a bit of a
 chicken-and-egg thing? I can't imagine anyone using a program that doesn't do
 CMYK, serious halftoning and easy font work (with the added note that my X
 server crashes regularly on TrueType fonts rendered larger than 100 px or so)
 for professional print graphics. Having worked together with those
 professionals quite a bit lately I think Gimp needs to be quite a bit better
 still.

eh I work as a webdesigner in an Amsterdam based 'top tier' New
Media company. I do little in the way of print graphics thus this may be
a bit off-topic... But, all my work is done in GNU/Linux in GIMP, whilst
my co-workers use Macs and photoshop 5.x/6.x. The _one_ thing with we
find to be a hassle wrt. GIMP is the fact that we can't share documents
painlessly. There is a psd-save hack for GIMP, but the hack only saves
in psd 4.0 and doesn't keep text layers dynamic. The Best Thing(tm) that
could happen for us, is that a PHOTOSHOP plug-in be released that can
read xcf into photoshop.

CMYK, halftoning etc. would be nice indeed, but possibly a Photoshop xcf
plugin might be easier?

just my 0.02

 I don't know of any GIMP developer willing to spend the $$$ to get the
 SDK for Photoshop.

what $$$ are you referring to??

http://partners.adobe.com:80/asn/developer/gapsdk/PhotoshopSDK.html

Although I haven;t got a windows/macos box handy to check the contents
of the zip files, I would hazard a guess that you'll find the stuff one
needs to build plug-ins inside of them.

[Gimp-developer] 1.2.1 crashes on indexed colour conversion

2001-06-06 Thread Avi Bercovich


Hi All,

As ever I;m not quite sure where I go to post bug reports, so I;m
posting to the list.

Colour conversion of the xcf file at
http://avi.mediamatic.nl/misc/conversion.html brings downs 1.2.1
everytime I attempt it ;-)

I'm trying to go from 24bit to 32 colours. if I resize the image from
2500x3500 to 2000x2800 it does work.

ttfn,

avi
