Re: the Gimp 1.2.0 for windows ?
Hi Bennet, maybe you did not pick up the right file. You need the file gimp-setup-20001226.zip. This will unzip to a single file gimp-setup-20001226.exe . Start this file to start the installation. --Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 5 Jan, Bennett Keith Portnet wrote: Sorry to bug you, I found you name and email address in the GIMP files !

I can't find a file that runs it ! No idea, I have no Windows. I'll forward this mail to the developpers mailinglist.

Moving selection content
Hi, when moving a selection with the move tool, the content of the selection moves with the mouse. Is it possible to show only the border when moving ? I did not find such a setting in the preferences. To me it is more easier to place a selection if I have a reference point at the mouse cursor and move the mouse to the required position in the current image. But the content of the selection is drawn over the current image. --Peter -- Peter Kirchgessner WWW:http://www.kirchgessner.net e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Decompose
Hi, there is a request to change the behaviour of the decompose plug-in. The names of the extracted channels should be changed from inputfile.ext-channelname(i.e. myfile.tif-red) to inputfile-channelname.ext(i.e. myfile-red.tif) Any objections ? --Peter "DrMartin.Weber" wrote: If I use for example test.png in decompose I get for example test.png-yellow. If I try to save it it is a problem because it doesn't have a valid extension. The correct file name should be test-yellow.png instead.

Re: Magicless file formats
Sven Neumann wrote: Hi, If a properly named Targa file is not correctly loaded by GIMP, then another plug-in (for example faxg3) uses a file magic that fits this targa file. So which plug-in should load the file ? The one that has the correct file magic or the one that handles the correct extension ? I would prefer the plug-in with the correct file magic. Maybe the file magic of the faxg3 plug-in is too weak ? If I understood the patch correctly, only the extensions of magicless file-formats would be probed before the magic header is used. That would mean you couldn't easily load a fax g3 files named foo.tga anymore, but if it is named foo.gif Gimp would still use the fax g3 loader. On the other hand it would allow you to actually load foo.tga if is is really a Targa file. The patch implements the following logic: (1) Check if the extension matches one of the file_formats we can't properly identify by their magic header. If not, proceed with (2). (2) Check if the header matches one of the magics. If not, proceed with (3). (3) Check if extension matches anything we know. I had the impression, this wasn't clear... OK, I should have read the e-mail with the patch more carefully. This handling looks good. Peter -- Peter Kirchgessner WWW:http://www.kirchgessner.net e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And rightly so :-) I would prefer a program that loads a group3 Fax file even if it is named .tga I cannot believe that such a situation would be more common than attempting to load a properly named Targa file.

Re: loading EPS files
Hi Austin, another possibility would be to call gs with an additional -c showpage to force a showpage command after interpreting the file. Ghostscript then will generate two pages for files with a showpage instruction. The second (empty) page then must be dropped when reading data from ghostscipt. --Peter Austin Donnelly wrote: The correct way to get gs to render the EPS file is to provide it with a prologue, the file itself, then finally an epilogue. -- Peter Kirchgessner WWW:http://www.kirchgessner.net e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
