Re: [Gimp-user] open windows ico files?
Just a while back I had to deal with a windows ico file also. One thing you can do is use XnView to convert them all to a different file type. Of course this may not work for exactly what you are trying to do, but I'm just trying to provide you with one more option.

[Gimp-user] getting rid of dust after scanning
Greetings all . . . So here is question/situation. I am scanning in some photos at a very large size. 23x35 inches, 300 dpi. The final output will be a poster of that size. In spite of my best attempts there is always some dust someplace. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to cover this without having to touch up each speck by hand. I have googled a bit check the tutorials at gimp.org. So far found nothing really useful. I though I would ask to see if anyone has a lead for me on this. I'm wondering if I can't do some sort of blur or something, just enough to cover the dust without losing the sharpness. Maybe a second layer that is blured? Anyhow, I am going to go experiment with this problem tonight and see if I come up with anything. Thanks for any advice you may be able to give.

[Gimp-user] xpm to ico ??
Greeting all -- this might be off topic, but I thought this would be the best list to ask. I'm in new territory here, so I may be missing something really obvious and just need to be smacked with the stupid stick, but here it goes. I'm wanting to make a favourite icon for my web site. I created an icon using Baby Gimp in the xpm format. Now I need to get it to ico format. Baby Gimp doesn't appear to save that format, nor does Gimp. I tried doing a Google/Linux search for a conversion tool and found a number that claim to convert xpm to ico, but nothing for the other direction. So question is, how can I get the xpm to an ico file? Thanks very much.
