IIRC, Mitch changed some of the code that used to emit the signals that
causes the previews to update. Once the preview code is generalized and
the new widgets are in place, everything should work again, only better.

Re: perlotine

[Carol Spears]

This is the end of a thread on the gimp-user mail.  I am constantly
amazed at what appears to be distribution related troubles to a cleanly
installed Gimp. I call this a distribution problem because it came with
perl5.4 (bought in September 2000) and this is the core of my problems.

It appears that you can upgrade your perl and leave some PDL binaries
without their headers.

I think that alot of almost capable LUsers like me would benefit from an
changing of the warning message.  I don't have time to reproduce it
here, but the current warning (probably in the configure) made me think
that you need to install the PDL in order to have fully functioning
gimp-perl.  And this did fix my problem.  I would have rather removed
the offending binaries to fix it, however.

Even now, I know the problem but probably need to get a book to help me
find the damn binaries!

Thanks for your time.  I really love my gimp.  I wish that the whole
world worked as well as Wilbur! And would improve as fast as he has.

Use g_message (), which is a standard glib logging mechanism that is 
configured to do the right thing from gimp plug-ins. The right thing is 
to use the console if the user specified the --console-messages option 
or if gimp is running in batch mode. If running interactively it will 
display a dialog window or use the error console.

 Nah, I replaced most of the funtions which return consts anyway
 directly by accesses to the structs. However I haven't done much more
 in this area as I'm working heavily in the gimp-help...

Error messages from a plug-in

[Ernst Lippe]

What is the "official way" to display error messages from a plug-in to
the user?
Basically what I looked for was a simple window (perhaps even with some
threatening icon) that I could invoke with a single function call
(I guess that I have been spoilt by too much Delphi programming).
I could find no such thing in the standard Gtk/Gimp libraries.

CVS HEAD channel previews?

[Nick Lamb]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that channel previews have been broken
in CVS HEAD for some time. I'm not complaining, it just seems possible
that no-one has bothered looking at that entire tab for say, two weeks
and didn't realise that they'd broken it.

Nick.

When Daniel and I did our profiling just after the gimpcon we found that
the bottleneck were not really the paint functions but small things like
repeatedly calling methods like drawable_bpp which were just one line and
similar cases. We commited to do a lot of profiling but I don't think anybody
did ;)

Well, not that you mentioned it:

   perl ../../../../plug-ins/perl/po/pxgettext  > gimp-perl.po \

no input files...

did it work with srcdir != builddir before? if yes, then it probably never
worked, if not then it's probably that change (in-gimp builds do not use
gimp-perl for the po files but gimp's system, which I have to admit to not
understand the slightest).

I am using 5.005_03.

Stops at:

35:   while (<>) {

This had been working fine in past weeks. Sethmo recently committed
something to the perl stuff, maybe he broke it inadvertently.

If it is 5.005_03 I have no idea. Could you run the script usign the same

enter "t" for trace and then "c" for continue. You can then see wether it

perl hang

[Zachary Beane]

I'm using CVS, and it's hanging the build at:

Making all in plug-ins/perl/po
make[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/gimp/obj-2001-02-13/plug-ins/perl/po'
perl ../../../../plug-ins/perl/po/pxgettext  > gimp-perl.po \
&& test ! -f gimp-perl.po \
   || ( rm -f ../../../../plug-ins/perl/po/gimp-perl.pot \
   && mv gimp-perl.po ../../../../plug-ins/perl/po/gimp-perl.pot )

Just FYI. srcdir != builddir. (my builddir is obj-2001-02-13).

One question:

I'm unable to input cyrillic text (koi8-r locale).
Seems 8-bit stripped
No problem with plain text tool.

I modified the original code to handle non-integer scale factors.  It
lives in image_render.c

I'm not sure how much use an MMX version will be, given the large
variety of platforms GIMP runs on.  Keeping two version of the code
(ASM + C) in sync is also a bit of a nightmare.  (Just my 0.02 Euro's worth)
