[Gimp-user] Getting Screenshots directly into GIMP on different operationg systems
Hi everybody on the list, I'm testing the GIMP on various operating systems for my masterthesis (in that i want to show the capabilities of open-source-software for technical writing) and i hope that somebody could answer me the following question (more to follow ;-) : As a programmer and technical writer for software i love the ability of getting screenshots directly from and into the GIMP via the "Acquire" submenu -> "Screen shot". I've already tested that function successfully under (Ubuntu-)Linux and Windows (XP). But under Mac OS there are some problems. I've installed the GIMP on two different ways under Mac OS. The first way is via Mac Ports and the Acquire-Screenshot-function can only get screen-shots of programs running under the X11-server I'm running under Mac OS (like OOo.org). The other way I've installed the GIMP via GIMP.app (http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/), the self contained application bundle of GIMP, that uses X11, too. On that installation the point "Screen shot" in the "Acquire"-submenu doesn't even exist. Here's my question: is there any plugin that i can install to have this cool function under Mac OS? Is anybody working on a plugin (and is it even possible to get a Mac-Screenshot into an X11-application?). It's a great functionality and it would be very useful for Mac-users.

Except maybe putting off the option show-brush-outline? By the way, Michel Daenzer from the xorg-driver-ati list suggested me to try the driver from the experimental Debian depot (with no result), and to put the Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in my xorg.conf file. The second suggestion suppresses the xor error problem, but the Wacom tablet mouse no longer traces at all, at least visibly: nothing appears in the window, but Gimp considers it to be modified. The PS/2 mouse still works normally, as well as the Wacom stylus and eraser. Does this strange behavior suggests you something? -- Olivier Lecarme ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

No, there was no relevant change in GDK and you can easily verify that by running 2.2 and 2.3 against the same version of GTK+. Have a look at gimprc manual page.
