There are two types of brushes in the GIMP -- bitmap and parametric. Unfortunately they expose a different settings UI. You cannot currently change the size for bitmap brushes, you need to use or create a new parametric brush for this. cheers -- Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

What are your requirements, other than work in a prison? To what type of security are you referring?

Draw a picture of a shiv? sorry. I can't imagine GIMP being a problem. That being said, it's linked to libraries that have occasionally had security issues. Both closed and open source rendering libraries have at various times suffered from buffer overflows. I tend to see resistance to FOSS solutions with these inane arguments that force you to prove a negative. GIMP (or whatever) could start a nuclear war, can you prove it won't?. I say, then lets make that a testing prerequisite for any app, including the one you want to use. jim Simon Davis wrote: HI, Does anyone have any experience / anecdotal evidence of using the GIMP in prisons or situations where security was of paramount importance.

I can imagine that there's a high interest in controlling what exactly gets into a prison and what gets out. Dr. Mabuse (I forgot in which movie exactly) did get plans for robberies out of the asylum after all - in plain sight, disguised as childish drawings due to his mental state. As for the in part, a prison will probably face the same problems as anyone who's using a computer these days - lots of criminals trying to remotely install software on your system. Only in this case some of the users on the inside may actually want it to be installed. Similar for the out part. I don't know if the stereotypical case of Dr. Mabuse is thinking along the right path here, but I do guess that in this case the software in general shouldn't allow anyone to have more rights than he is allowed to. Coming accross resistance and would like to be able to point to precedent. Out of interest, what kind of resistance? A general oh what is this magic thing with knobs on it (which I doubt (and hope) can't happen anywhere nowadays), or something more elaborated - like does this comply to security regulations act ABC123? IMO knowing more about this last part is paramount for heling with your problem.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP used in prisons / secure institutions
On a more practical note, when I'm looking at a new app, the first thing I do is search over at securityfocus.com to see what it's exploit history has been. If I see a pattern, or something I can't remediate, I pass. jim ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Open the brush dialog by clicking on the current brush indicator, or by selecting Dialogues-Brushes, or by typing shift-control-B. At the bottom of the dialog is a row of buttons - the second from the left is the New Brush button, which opens the Brush Editor. You can create and name your brush there. -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
