[Gimp-user] psd to xcf files *with* layers ...
Is this at all possible? My wife has been using Photoshop, and I'm trying to get her to convert to Gimp instead (so that I can work on the same files under Unix) ... the biggest problem is she loses her layers, or, at least, the 'text/font' components of them ... Is there any way of converting a psd file to xcf so that you don't lose that information? Or, at a minimum, some way of being able to determine the font type / size used within the image itself? thanks ... Marc G.

But I get the false alert _anytime_ I save a new file. I'm not doing anything at all exotic as the initial bug reporter posted (or as you are doing).

GTK excels in so many areas. I just wish they'd overhaul (again) the file selector. Oh well, I should stop bitching and help out, shouldn't I? So many projects... so little time.

Starting Gimp via the console, and saving by either selecting from the list of extensions or not, I get this output file_save_dialog_check_uri: no save_proc was selected from the list file_save_dialog_check_uri: use URI's proc 'JPEG image' so indirect saving works or file_save_dialog_check_uri: save_proc 'PNG image' was selected from the list And all is OK Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I didn't even get off my lazy butt to look around at the other options. However, I'm not sure if I would have recognized them. I think 'Crop Image from Selection' and 'Crop Layer from Selection' might be a tad clearer in the menu. That is the sole purpose of these procedures, isn't it (since they're grayed out until a selection is made)? Anywho, I'm just glad those procedures are there. I'd be lost otherwise. Thanks!

[Gimp-user] 'File Exists' in 2.3.6
Maybe this deserves a bug report, but something I've noticed in 2.3.6 is that it always alerts me that a 'A File Named ... Already Exists' upon saving any file regardless whether is truly exists or not. Can anyone else confirm this? Just create a new document and save and see what it says.

[Gimp-user] Crop tool in 2.3.6
The crop tool and dialog in 2.3.6 have some really excellent improvements over the old one. Great work dev! I have one question: is it still possible to do a 'crop from selection' like in Gimp < 2.3? I seem to be missing that option in the new dialog. Thanks, Eric P. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] convert black to blue for sketch question

But before that, by "didn't work", do you mean the operation wasn't allowed (the menu option was greyed out) or the operation failed to do what you wanted? If the menu option was greyed out, it is because your scanner's png is in 'indexed' mode. Follow Right Click->Image->Mode-RGB to switch the image type to RGB and retry the operation.
