[Gimp-user] Opening files in Gimp2.4x from 3rd party, thumbnail viewer
Hi, Thanks to all who pointed me to gimp-remote to prevent multiple instances of Gimp when opening files from third party thumbnail viewers. I downloaded the Windows version, which requires the following registry entry to be added: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\gimp-win-remote] @=gimp-2.4.exe (as described in the Readme file.) It now works perfectly with both IDimager and Fastone image viewer. I appreciated the lightning fast responses!

[Gimp-user] Opening files in Gimp2.4x from 3rd party thumbnail viewer
Hi, I use a photo cataloging program called IDimager as a 'front end' for Gimp.This program displays thumbnails of the complete directory (with star ratings, etc.), and is a very convenient way of identifying photos. Since changing to v2.4, a fresh instance of the Gimp is started for each new photo that I open. Previously with v2.2x it was a dream.Once it had opened Gimp for the first picture, from then on it quickly loaded new photos into the existing instance of Gimp. Now that it opens a fresh instance of Gimp for each photo, it is obviously slower and uses excessive system resources. The only change I have made is going from Gimpv2.2 to v2.4. IDimager has not been updated. I did not configure v2.2 specially, but wonder if there is a way to configure v2.4 to behave similarly. Incidentally, another thumbnail viewer I have used is Faststone thumbnail viewer. That opened a fresh instance of Gimp with v2.2 as well. I would appreciate any help - even if it means using a different thumbnail viewer. Thanks for any help Peter Taylor ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Getting RGB information in GIMP 2,4
Hello, I have just installed Gimp2.4 and have run into a problem: I cannot find a way to display the RGB brightness information under the cursor. In version 2.2x I brought this up by pressing F8, but that does not work for me in 2.4. I have searched Help and the menus, but still cannot find it. I must have missed something basic, but am stuck! and I would appreciate any help to find this tool. Many thanks, Peter Taylor ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
