Here is an interesting experiment for those who do not understand what the problem is with the "Help" item in the toolbox: - start Gimp - resize the toolbox so that all tools are on a single column (approx. 30 x 750 pixels) - try to open a new image, or to do anything useful The problem is

I'll try your technique but shouldn't the toolbox be coded so that all parts are visible all the time? End users are going to be frightned if they resize the toolbox using the corner of the window like they would with anything else and parts start dissappearing. To make matters worse, I messed

Hi, One problem that people mention on comp.graphics.app.gimp quite regularly is that gimp says "load failed" on some EPS files. This happens when the EPS file doesn't have a "showpage" command on the end of it. Actually, EPS files probably shouldn't use an explicit showpage, since they're
