Re: get terrence brannon OFF these lists
When you join the list, you get directions on how to unsubscribe. A rational being, a thoughtful being, a being who belongs on a technical list, will save these instructions, and use them if needed. This is true. However, the list changed from being based on majordomo to ezmlm and the instructions changed. The new instructions were e-mailed out to all on the list and the new info should have been saved. Also, the information could have been sent directly to the individual and saved some of the discussions on this list. Cheers! Kevin.

Would the release tarball contain everything, inlcuding the script, which would just not get installed (or which would just now show up in the menu?)? Sorry I forgot to answer one question, "Who is supposed to make that script-pack". Well as I pointed out we need a "Plug-Script" maintainer (one or a team). The "Plug-Script" maintainer(s) is supposed to make the Packs. Cheers Olof PS: Well how volunteer to be a part of this team? I definitely into it, but I think we need one or two more developers to be in the team.

Re: Modifier keys (second call for votes)
Hello Sven This is Karins vote. She I think circle restricts is the best. It gives you a better control of what you are doing and it simply feels better. She would also love if you could make it snap to guide as I suggested in my mail yesterday. Cheers Olof On Sat, 20 Nov 1999, Sven Neumann wrote: Hi, I haven't got many responses to my last mail (two votes to be exact), so I ask you once again. Speak up now or be quiet later!! Please check out CVS and test the blend tool (or apply the patch included in my previous mail). Then decide which way you prefer: Holding Shift restricts you to 15 degrees and puts the endpoint on the circle you are defining with your mouse and the startpoint. Holding Ctrl restricts you to 15 degrees too, but puts the endpoint on a rectangle defined by your mouse and the closest 15-degrees angle. The question is not which key to use (I'm planning to use Ctrl for it), but which way of constraining movements to 15 degrees feels better. This only applies to the line draw mode of the paint tools and to the blend tool. Now vote!! Salut, Sven

Hello Steinar, On Sat, 20 Nov 1999, Steinar H. Gunderson wrote: My idea is that Gimp 1.2 is delivered with all "scripts" and "filters" some of them aren't installed by default (most notably "scripts" but also some C plugins). They are instead installed in ..share/gimp/uninstalled_filters/core. I'm afraid I don't see the purpose of all this. I think novice GIMP users want to get all the features straight away, and not discover them three months later (this happened to me for Gimp-Perl, for instance). GIMP starts up fast enough as it is, doesn't it? Fist in my view the hardest task is for a novice Gimp user to find the right command to use. As of today we have five similar Color Maping filters. The question is which one to use. Secondly, if we add all possible extra functions (C plugs, Script-Fu, Perl-Fu and Python-Fu). The menu system will be very large and difficult to navigate. Furthermore I think that the average user doesn't want to have all that functionality (just ask your self how often do you use Draw HSV Graph). There are also some functions that are only useful under some conditions. Maybe the user never uses funcs like that? Finaly, if we have a script pack manager we can make packs of e.g all the plugins and scripts available at registry.gimp.org . This will benefit the user quite much since it will be very easy to install more funcs into Gimp. The user will also be informed that her Gimp environment isn't complete since she can't run e.g Perl "Scripts". While we're speaking about user-friendliness on this topic, my impression is that you'll have to install GIMP (`make install') _before_ you can configure Perl-Fu, which is a bit confusing. If you do `configure --enable-perl', configure automatically tries to configure in plug-ins/perl, which then fails (`GIMP is not installed'), which is a bit confusing. Is there (as usual) something wrong with my system, or is this just a glitch? Well, the std ./configure will try to configure Perl-Fu/Python-Fu if it fails it will still continue and enable you to build Gimp. When you later try to install additional script you will be informed that since XXX YYY Python-Fu isn't enabled on your system. Please XXXdasd erwe to enable Perl-Fu. I mean there isn't anything saying that we can't inform the user that there isn't any thing wrong with his system it only lacks the necessary support to enable Python-Fu. Cheers Olof
