[Gimp-user] OT GTK/SuSE/Gimp question
This is probably way off topic for this ML (so please ignore if you want), but it started w/the Gimp, so what hell... I compiled new versions of atk/glib2/gtk2/pango in order to start checking out the 2.3 series of the Gimp. Everything went fine. I removed the old atk/glib2/gtk2/pango RPMs along w/their respected devel RPMs. I then make installed (via checkinstall) all the new GTK and friends, so I now have lovely round RPMs of each package installed. Now I compiled Gimp 2.3.0, and, yet again, all went well. However, when I run YAST now, it insists on reinstalling the old GTK (and friends) devel RPMs. Of course, I don't want to do that as the new header files are already installed. The RPMs I created (with checkinstall) contain the header files. The RPM packages just weren't broken out into 2 RPMs per package (i.e., binary RPM and devel RPM) like SuSE and other distros tend to do. Any tips on this dilemma? Thanks for reading, Eric P Ps. I'm running SuSE 9.2 pro ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'm running SuSE 9.2 pro = Eric, Did you get any conflicts or dependencies when trying to install the new rpms? I would guess you have a mismatch of sorts and that is why YaST2 wants to put things right. You can go into YaST2 software module and select those files you installed to set them as protected, so YaST2 doesn't complain continually. If you have been running YOU to stay updated, your glib2 files pango files should be adequate to run Gimp newer versions, mine is. I don't have any trouble compiling the newer Gimp builds either. Here are presently installed 9.2 versions: glib2-devel-2.6.3-9 glib2-2.6.3-9 glib2-doc-2.6.3-9 pango-devel-1.4.1-3 pango-1.4.1-3 pango-doc-1.4.1-3 regards, Patrick -- --- KMail v1.8 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse! ...Calvin Hobbes ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The Device Status dialog shows you every device that can be used as a pointer in The GIMP, along with what tool this device is using (and also : foreground and background colors, brush, pattern, and gradient), which means all these settings will change accordingly when you switch device. It also indicates which device is currently in use, as only one can be at a time. It can be of great help when you don't understand what is happening when you pick a device (like when you wonder why a lot of things seems to change without you clicking anywhere, or when I hit a known bug where I couldn't switch back to the core pointer). -- Karine Delvare http://edhel.nerim.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] need help with scanned images
hi, I'm scanning a booklet with the intention of making a PDF version of it. The booklet is printed on green paper and I'm having problems with the readability of the text. If you look at: http://textzi.net/cosas/07.png you'll see that the letters get a white edge around them that makes them a bit hard to read. Do you have any suggestions for changing this with the Gimp? Or should this be fixed directly when I scan the images? If so, how? thanks in advance, ivan http://textzi.net ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
