Re: [Gimp-developer] Request to include Gimp Manual Book at Gimp.org

It doesn't look like you understand the difference between "legally possible" and "good idea". It's too bad you printed a book of bad quality just because you didn't contact the documentation team first. It could have been great to prepare a top-quality version of the manual with the team and release it as a book. It's exactly the same when people take GIMP source code, brand it "MyPhotoshop" or whatever, and sell it. Then buyers complain that there are bugs - of course, by the time they buy it, most bugs are fixed and new features have appeared, but they will never see that. So, this is legally allowed, but the seller shouldn't be surprised when the development team isn't very happy about the situation.

Re: [Gimp-developer] brush manager

There was a 2006 Google Summer of Code project for this. If it had been completed, there would be a brush manager in GIMP 2.4, but it wasn't (the student is not to blame, he focused on something completely different instead). Maybe the same project can be proposed for the 2008 GSOC? Karine ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] about carol

Forcing someone to leave is a terrible thing. But as Simon and Mukund said, we have tried everything else we could think about (and I've not even been here from the beginnning). It took me one year to finally ignore Carol's comments and personal attacks, and to stop considering leaving the project. Nobody should have to put up with that to contribute, our energy is better used contributing. Nowadays nothing she says can hurt me anymore, and it's sad to ignore someone to that point. Nevertheless, there are reasons why I'm not contributing much to the project and the channel talking anymore, and Carol is one of those. I know one new contributor who left after a few weeks because she was attacked by Carol for being a woman, and couldn't believe the team would let such attacks go through and barely react. We are all used to ignore her to be able to go on with the project, but that can be really harmful.

[Gimp-developer] More or less anonymous authors
Hello, While parsing authors.xml to add the "last-active" attribute and to update the list with new contributors, I stumbled upon two incomplete names: * GG * Daniel Richard G They are added as is for now, but if those people want to be properly credited with their full name, they sould say so.

Bill and myself are the two developers that spent the most time on these new tools. We have both been on holidays for the past 3 weeks. Don't come to conclusions so fast. Further, your bug reports are very nice, but I'm afraid you're being counter-productive with your mails. We are not working for you, and the fact that you purposedly use a development version for your production work will not make us fix anything faster - quite the contrary, your mail subject lines tend to drive me away. > Of course I would rather fix these broken things myself (I am a seasoned > software developer in both C and C++, earning my living as a developer) but > there is no starting point in the documentation sources for the tool itself > - so there is no way for me to get my hands dirty and change anything for > the better - except for starting over with a similar but functioning tool > as a starting point and trying to carry over as much functionality as > possible. regards > Karl Günter Maybe you should try to join the developers IRC channel to get started, now that we are both back. We wouldn't mind a helping hand on these tools. Karine Delvare ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I have the opposite experience : I tend to group images of a drawing session / photo manipulations session in one directory, so when I save my first image I unfold the directory view to pick a bookmark and create a subdirectory in it, but from then every new save will only need the folded dialog, which is small and uncluttered, to my liking. -- Karine Delvare http://edhel.nerim.net/ ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
