[Gimp-user] Save dialog: can I get some sort of history?
(reposting as first letter apparently got lost) Hello, I use the Gimp to take files from one directory (raw photos), process them, and save them into another directory (photos for sending/publishing/printing/etc). Each time I save a photo, I have to navigate to the saving directory manually... Is it possible to somehow have the Save dialog store this directory iin some form of history, so I could easily select it? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It would be nice if there was a toolbar in the canvas window itself with the main tool options repeated there. That would make it easier to tell at a glance what tool and option is selected. I know this can already be worked out from the cursor icon, but those who are new to GIMP probably won't understand what all the symbols mean and might not think to look in the toolkit window. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Sven Neumann wrote, regarding an indicator for selection visibility: Now what do you suggest? What kind of indication would you have expected? David Marrs writes: A message in the status bar makes sense to me. Off the top of my head, a marching-ants outline of an irregular shape (so as not to confuse with quick mask) with a red X struck through it and a tool tip that says selection not visible on mouse rollover. Better still, clicking the That would be really helpful! I'm forever wondering whether I have a selection or not, and the only way to find out is to go to the edit and view menus and look, since not seeing a selection might mean there isn't one or it might mean visibility is toggled off (or that there is one but it's tiny and I'm not seeing it), and if I hit ctrl-T and no selection appears, now I'm not sure whether I just toggled selection off or on, so I still have to go to the menus to check that. Toggling selection visibility is something I do all the time, from the keyboard (is that just me, or is that common?) so being able to tell easily which state I'm in would be a great help. Alternatively, rather than use the status bar, have a toolbar in the canvas window that includes this along with some other common and useful options. See my other reply for an example. I suggested a toolbar once before on this list and it's something I keep coming back to in my own mind as a possible way of solving a number of the niggles I'm having. I'm sure some people would like that, but I wouldn't want to have to devote space to another toolbar to see this information. I like the statusbar idea, even if it was something as simple as another variable like %S that I could put into statusbar preferences, to say Selection Off or something. Though an icon with a red X, like David describes, would be easier to notice. ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] modular GIMP
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a general question to throw out there: Is it feasible to have GIMP be modular in it's filters and image tools (basically all of the image processing stuff outside of painting)? I've worked in 3D with apps that have such an approach, where each module can be added / removed and the object(s) update accordingly. This would make image editing even more flexible, professional, and sexy (hehehe). This way, one doesn't worry as much about having to go thru a lot of undos when something goes wrong or the artist has a flash of inspiration that's on a totally different track than he/she was on before. I've been using GIMP for quite a while now, and I believe such functionality would really enhance the GIMP experience. Are you thinking of something like Blender's object viewer? I quite like the idea of seeing the signal path laid out in a modular form. You can see the channels flowing through the layers, which layers have filters operating on them and how this affects the signal. It would certainly be useful from the point of view of understanding how an image gets processed in the GIMP. I don't know how useful it would be as a tool in its own right, though. Perhaps you could use it to highlight problems you're having. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[Gimp-user] Set default resize method
Hello, I would like to set the default resize method to cubic rather than linear; I want the best quality and have enough CPU horsepower, so I need cubic, right? I'm tired of switching the setting every time. Is there a way to change the default? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
