[Gimp-user] Index for Gimp manual

2006-02-17 Thread John R. Culleton
The pdf file for the Gimp Users Manual. Dec 2005 edition does not
come with an index. I am thinking of preparing my own (which I
will share of course.) Has anyone found an index to this manual
on the site?

[Gimp-user] Presets

2006-02-17 Thread John R. Culleton
I want to change some of the presets for Gimp 2.3.7. I did this
once before but I don't remember which files store the
information. The presets I am particularly intersted in changing
are the ones for the units on the image window rulers and some
things on the PostScript file save menu.

Can anyone point me to the right source code modules?

This might be true for the dec issue of the english manual but is  
rather a temporarily weakness of the pdf production process ( docbook  
- (la)tex - pdf ) then a general problem. The german version I've  
build a couple of days ago has an index.

You want to prepare what? An index or a manual? The first one is  
already done in each docbook chapter. (Well, it *might* be that there  
is room for improvements of course :)

uhh - yes - all the html versions have one and as I just wrote all  
the pdf versions *should* have one too!



Greetings, lexA

The manual is written in Docbook XML. It should be a lot easier to
generate a PDF that contains an index than to attempt to create one
manually. Especially since the manual index will be outdated pretty
soon. The manual is undergoing changes on a daily basis.

At least the image window rulers should be configurable via gimprc. No
need to tweak any source files.

As the subject line implies I am talking about a BOB index. There
is a page for it but no index. So someone needs to run LaTeX or
pdflatex twice to get the index properly included in the pdf file. 
 If the html version has an index, and the pagination is the same
 as the pdf file, I can use that index instead of course.

Thanks for your reply. Are the docbook sources posted somewhere?
If so I could download them and go through the usual index
generation steps. 

When you say the manual is undergoing changes on a daily basis
are you referring to the downloadable pdf or just the html
versions? The date on the manual I downloaded was December 28,
2005. I assume it is the latest pdf version. 

Best,

John Culleton

Sure they are. Feel free to have a closer look to docs.gimp.org and  
read the How to get involved section to learn how the gimp docs  
project is organized.

both - html and pdf versions are more or less automatically build  
from docbook (xml) sources. Since building the html files is much  
more robust to inconsintencies like missing image files etc. they are  
available in more recent versions than the pdf files are. Building  
them is more art then science right now...


... feel free to get involved!



Best,

John Culleton

[Gimp-user] tif support

2006-02-17 Thread Bill W.
Hi everyone,
I run Gimp on Mandriva 2006.kernel 2.6.12-12 
I uninstalled the standard Gimp installation from the Mandriva cd's in order 
to install Gimp 2.3.6
It compiled reasonably well but I did get the error that I couldn't have tif 
support so I used the 'without tif support' option.

Now, of course, I would like to add that missing tif support. Is there a 
tutorial or web page detailing the process. 

Thanks for your advice,
Bill W.

AFAIK you merely need to have libtiff installed and then configure will
find it. look at config.log or similar after a ./configure and you
should see whether or not it has been detected. if it hasn't i would try
an 'ldconfig  make clean  ./configure' or similar.

the README doesn't appear to indicate you need to explicitly declare
TIFF support at ./configure.
