[Gimp-user] how to clone a text layer (not how to do clone on a layer)
Hello. Is there a feature in gimp that behave like inkscape, where a text layer (in Inkscape an object or a group of object) can have some clone text layers. If the source text layer changes its color, size, text etc, the cloned layer automatically change accordingly. In fact, I am more happy if the cloned layer only changes its text when the source layer's text is changed. I need this feature because I have an illustration where a word appeared multiple times. I need to change this word from time to time. But I have about 12 layers with the same word, doing the same text change to 12 layers from time to time look stupid. In Inkscape it would be easier. Thanks in advance! ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] restoring faded transparencies

By publicizing my plug-in I hope that: (1) people with faded slides will be able to restore them, (2) that it will be possible to improve the method by input from others and (3) if (2) happens someone will take up the task of improving the coding so that the plug-in can be distributed more widely. I think that we should keep general discussion of this topic in this forum, so that everyone can join in, but it would be useful if there was a single collection of sample images, with commentary and perhaps carefully considered reviews of the conclusions made from them. I am happy to put these on my website along with my own examples. My email is geo...@plyus.cozm (delete the x y and z to get the correct address and avoid my getting spam). Please keep the file size down, the pictures will only be viewed on a webpage. Also be selective about what you send; images similar to existing ones are not very useful, but examples of good restorations of very poor originals are of interest as are failures of the method. It is probably also better if any very technical discussions are done by email. -- geoff ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

What does it not do that you need? I am pretty sure that the API of file-print-gtk did not change, so I wonder what those scripts would do differently.

[Gimp-user] Launching Problem on OSX
I'm using a Mac iBook G3 Laptop running Panther, after installing X11 from the Apple site and downloading Gimp.app (highest version for Panther is 2.2.11) all I got after successfully installing both was: X11 and Gimp both opened, Gimp bopped on the dock for about 2 seconds and then disappeared, occasionally when I click on Gimp, a little loading box will pop up saying something like "Caching Fonts" but disappears pretty fast. I've tried Gimpshop and lower versions of Gimp.app (including 1.2.5) ALL THE SAME. I tried opening with Terminal, it says all these files in Gimp don't exist, but they do, ok... Today I tried downloading Inkscape, same problem except it told me it would take a while to cache fonts, site even state Inkscape takes a while to open first try (3 mins for them), activity monitor isn't picking them up though, s I...am...really...frustrated...Any Mac person, X11 expert, or Gimp user have any idea what is the problem? -- Firefly ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Alec (bura...@gmail & WinLiveMess - > alec.m.burg...@skype) The "expected exe file "was created and uploaded, i am absolutely sure since i downloaded and installed few days ago If is not anymore there,(i didn't check i trust your words ) i suppose is because show evident problems obviously dev. releases may be unstable and a bit buggy, but in this case, instead then the improvement of the text tool described in "what is new" was possible only experiment crash each time the text tool was used, and connected crashes for each of the logos script. Seems to me a good reason to remove and then hopefully replace the file . I reported the problem on the developer list not to hassle the developers but only because i thought the problems of that build were critical and not yet noticed. I have no idea why the topic was moved on this list, if you want try the last SVN i suggest to build it in linux that is not to hard, compiling for win is far more complex, and seems evident that in that build something went wrong...so if was removed may be for good reasons. Then if you really want that exe should be not hard (i.e. with Internet Archives or maybe even using google or yahoo cache) get a copy. Obviously at your risk, i noticed other problems (just 1 example, after cropping the cropped part is still displayed and remain visible even if is no more part of the image and so not editable...) but i thought was not the case to report them since they may be limited to a peculiar, experimental and unlucky Windows build Passa a Yahoo!

[Gimp-user] OS X GIMP slow launch
I'm working on OS X 10.4.11 and using GIMP 2.6.4 when I launch GIMP it literally takes 5 or 6 minutes to fully load and be functional I realize I have a lot of filters and brushes which adds to the load time but is this a known issue? it seems like the splash window spends most of its time on 'looking for documents' and is there any way to shorten this launch time? I searched through the posts and wasn't able to find any mention of this thanks in advance ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] loading of script-fu - scripts
Hi there, I have installed a script-fu.scm to my gimp installation. therefore I've copied the file into the c/Programme/GIMP-2.0/share/gimp/2.0/scripts directory. but when I start the Gimp the Script doesn't show up at all. If click on the "Filter -> Script Fu -> reload scripts" Button the script is loaded and works as expected. what do I have to do in order to get the script loaded at the gimp startup? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

However I've now found it just as easy, and sometimes more convenient, to keep the scanning separate (ie. on my system - Mandriva 2008.1, Gnome - have a panel icon for xsane, /usr/bin/xsane). Then having scanned, save the image as a .png or similar file; drop it onto 2.6. So I wouldn't get too fussed about taking images direct from the scanner into Gimp.
