[Gimp-user] Cannot copy and paste rectangular selections
To create web-ready images which have feathered edges, I would simply use the rectangular selection tool, with feathered edges checked (on), a radius of, say 20, auto shrink selection checked (on) and select from the source image and paste to a new image with a black background. The result would be an image with edges fading to black and rounded corners. For some reason, this does not work any more -- when I paste to the new black image, the whole source image gets pasted, not just the selected area and there are no rounded corners. I was using Gimp 2.2.10 on MacOS-10.4.7. I Even tried upgrading to Gimp 2.2.11, with no improvement. I did this a million times before successfully and can't understand why it's not working now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Chris ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Still, it may not be installed - I don't think it was installed by default in 10.3...

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp-app on the mac does not want to work with my X11
Hi, Chris, er, Dog, er, Dude, er... Can you say huh? I'm afraid that's about where I am at the moment (and no, I'm not trying to be abnormally flippant; I'm just really, really confused here). I think you got the e-mail I sent from my [EMAIL PROTECTED] address (at least, this MIGHT be a response to that). Or is this a group response to a specific problem someone else is having? Weird - I thought I was replying to the Gimp-User mailing list - someone was having trouble installing GIMP on their mac. I'm sorry if I somehow emailed you by mistake. I'm guessing that you might have signed up for the mailing list already, since you got my message. If you're having problems too, you should send a new email to Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu and mention what issues you're having. If you're signed up to the list, you will receive a copy of any email sent to the list. If you're not subscribed, you can still send messages to the list, and read the list on the web here: https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-user/ Hope this helps, Chris ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] rect-select: suppress 'expand from center' key or gesture shortcut
Using linux gimp-2.3.12, Gentoo Linux ~x86. I have noticed in recent gimp versions an odd behavior when doing rectangular selections, which I do (and copy, paste) almost constantly when using Gimp. I can't reproduce it right now, but somewhere in the mix of fence-selection gestures (in all origin-size directions), select all/none and copy-paste keystrokes, the unwanted 'expand from center' selection behavior was turning on, frequently. I almost never use this option, and have to go over to click the checkbox to turn it off when this glitch happens. Is there a configuration option to disable gimp from ever turning on 'expand from center' by any automatic or shortcut method, except if the dialog checkbox is clicked? Thanks. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

There's no such configuration option as the behaviour you outline is of course not intentional. You should expect such misbehaviour in a development snapshot. If you need to use GIMP for your work, you should stick with a stable version.

I thought it might be some gesture or keystroke shortcut for advanced users, and thus might have a configuration option.
