Could it be related to my processor (Athlon)? How could such problems be related to your CPU?? I was thinking about some compilation optimization. IFS being a fractal type plugin, I assume it contains some quite complicated mathematics. Thus the compilator may play a role there (Athlon FPU is different from Intel's one). Anyway, I don't remember that you mentioned such problems earlier. That's the problem with reporting bugs on the mailing-list instead of using Bugzilla. If you have such problems, you should file a bug report for it. I reported this bug in a message called Re: help needed with GIMP 2.2 dated October 11. I started this message saying this: So here is another bug candidate (i.e. I do not know if it qualifies as a bug, and it could be on my machine only). It is again a minor one anyway, so could be postponed for 2.4 (3.0?): You replied to this mail: I cannot reproduce this here. IFS Compose does correctly repeat with the last used settings. And I finally replied that I could reproduce it with gimp 2.0 to, but not with gimp 1.2, that was at that time the only not-home-compiled gimp I had. The thread ended there. I assumed it was related to one of my libraries. That's why I am surprised to see it again since I installed a new version of the system. Regards, Olivier. PS: I will try (this evening I hope) with the binary Gimp 2.0.3 that came with Mandrake 10.1. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you want to change the print size, you just have to change the DPI settings. On gimp 2.2 there is a new print size dialog that doesn't change the pixel data at all. Up to gimp 2.0, you have to Scale the Image, but be sure that the number of Pixels doesn't change. john ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] changing the size of brushes in 2.2 pre2
Hi, Quoting Napoleon Ahiable [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I read that it is possible create a scalable brush in 2.2 pre2. How do i bind keys to the brush properties so that i don't have to go to brush editor everytime i need to change the size? First create a new brush in the brushes dock. Set the hardness radius to what you want. Then open the shortcut editor and find the Increase/Decrease brush size entries, and assign shortcuts to them. You cannot change the size or hardness of a brush during a stroke.

[Gimp-user] printing works only as root
Hi, I have Gimp 2.0.5 and gimpprint 4.2.6 and CUPS-1.1.20 installed. When I try to print an image as normal user the printer feeds the paper but then nothing happens. If I print as root everything works fine. There aren't any problems printing from other programs. So there seems to be some permission problem. But I have no idea where to change permissions.

Hi, Alan Horkan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Free SVG Clip Art http://OpenClipArt.org For a long time I've been willing to point people to OpenClipArt.org, in particular to the gradients that GIMP 2.2 is now able to read. But even though I've reported this problem a long ago, the gradients are still completely unusable due to lack of preview. Even worse, lately one can't even browse the repository any longer. So I cannot even verify that the gradients are still broken. Can you please fix this for us? As soon as this is fixed, someone might look into fixing our registry for you.

Re: [Gimp-user] CMYK and Postscript output.
Sven wrote: I don't know who's feeding you your information but that person is highly misinformed since there are no vector layers. If you want postscript or even pdf files using vectors instead of bitmaps, you are looking at the wrong application. GIMP is an image manipulation program for editing raster graphics. If you want to edit vectors, please use a vector editing application. The Gfig plugin now creates its own layers, and they are vector layers because if you run Gfig with the active layer being a Gfig layer, you can manipulate the objects there as vector objects. Dave Neary's GIMP 2.2 headlines mention this, with perhaps a bit more enthusiasm than is entirely justified -- this is presumably the source of the misinformation. In any case, the capabilities of Gfig are quite primitive in comparison with well-developed vector graphics programs such as Sodipodi or Inkscape -- and strictly speaking, the functionality does not come from GIMP itself but rather from the plugin. The rest of what you wrote I think is quite correct. It may be interesting to note that it would theoretically be possible to modify programs such as Inkscape or Sodipodi so that they would be capable of running as GIMP plugins, creating their own special layers and storing their data as layer attachments (i.e., parasites in GIMP terminology), in the same way that Gfig now does. (This is also basically how the Text tool works, except it doesn't use parasites.) Such an approach could give GIMP full-powered SVG-vector-editing capabilities without requiring any major changes in the GIMP core.

Re: [Gimp-user] changing the size of brushes in 2.2 pre2
Hi, Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You cannot change the size or hardness of a brush during a stroke. You can, if you have the right hardware at hand. GIMP 2.2 allows for input controller modules. Such input controllers, if they do not use the standard mouse or keyboard (these are grabbed by GIMP already) but other input hardware, are able to change the brush size or hardness during a stroke. GIMP 2.2 comes with two such modules, others could be added easily. The two modules that we distribute are a Linux Input event controller and a MIDI event controller. Using the Linux input layer, a number of USB input devices such as a Griffin Powermate Controller or Contour Design's Shuttle Pro can be used to control GIMP. The GIMP MIDI controller module allows you to use all kind of MIDI devices. MIDI keyboards, foot pedals, drum pads, a MIDI controller with knobs and sliders, a guitar-to-MIDI converter ...

[Gimp-user] The GIMP at 21C3
Hi, I would like to let everyone know that we will have a small GIMP gathering at 21C3, the 21st annual Chaos Communication Congress, and you are all invited to join us. So far we haven't planned anything in particular and we definitely don't want to make this a GIMP developer conference. If a number of GIMP people show up, we can have a workshop and we will definitely find time for some GIMP hacking (and perhaps some GEGL hacking as well). If you want to join the GIMP crew at the congress, please send me mail. Here's some more info about the congress: 21C3: The Usual Suspects 21st Chaos Communication Congress The European Hacker Conference Dezember 27/28/29, 2004 bcc - berliner congress center Alexanderplatz, Berlin-Mitte http://www.ccc.de/congress/2004/ It's time to round up for the usual date at the end of the year for the 21st annual Chaos Communication Congress. In order to make this event even bigger and noticably better, the 21C3 sports a hack centre that has been clearly improved in terms of size and infrastructure compared to last year, a new Art Beauty area and many other small, but important details. As in the years before, we estimate to attract about 2,500 visitors from all over the world. We plan to meet the demands of our increased international audience through more talks in English by international speakers. Under the motto The Usual Suspects we call upon all hackers of the world to give presentations and attend discussions on current technological insights, new aspects in research and the sociopolitical impact of applied modern technology. Three daily conference tracks with around 100 talks and workshops will cater for a broad variety of topics. Please visit the web-site at http://www.ccc.de/congress/2004/ and if you want to get the latest news on the congress, subsribe to the 21C3 weblog at http://21c3.ccc.de/weblog/2004/.

The plug in registry isn't working on gimp.org (specifically registry.gimp.org). My guess would be a problem with the sub-domain.
