[Gimp-user] Biggest Frustration

2010-06-21 Thread Steve VanSlyck
My biggest frustration with GIMP is the complete lack of a general object 
selection tool. Not having an arrow tool is counter intuitive to the 
way we've been taught since the Faraday saw the first semiconductor claw 
its way into visibility in 1833.

 Most e-mail clients let you read messages by simply pressing the spacebar

If by Most you exclude Thunderbird and POP Peeper you might be right.

[Gimp-user] Listequette

2010-05-27 Thread Steve VanSlyck
May I offer a respectful and kind suggestion to all? When replying to a 
message, please cut as much of the original message is not relevant to 
your reply. This is especially true when saying thank you - so readers 
don't have to page down through several messages just to see a very brief 
message.

Interweb Listequette suggest that quoted material shoule be no more than 
20% of the new material. Like all rules there will be many good reasons 
for exceptions, but you get the idea.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Fw: Re: toolbox

  Is this available in the 2.7.0 development snapshot? I will compile
  and use that if it is available, but I don't want to go through the
  trouble if it is not.
 
 
 I should probably mention that I'm on Kubuntu Linux, that might matter.

Is there no way to dock these darn things onto the main drawing window? 
(When I minimize an app I want the whole think gone, not just the 
subwindow I'm working on.

  That's how GIMP 2.6 works. In GIMP 2.8 you will be able to close the 
  toolbox.

[Gimp-user] Windows help files

2010-04-23 Thread Steve VanSlyck
The wording about http://www.gimp.org/windows/ is kinda vague about where 
to get the installable help files for Windows user.

May I kindly suggest that the wording, Note that the user manual is an 
extra package; make sure that you get it as well.

be changed to

Note that the Windows user manual is an extra package downloadable from 
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html ; make sure that you get it 
as well.

?

Thank you.

[Gimp-user] List Server admin help?

 https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user


Doesn't work. Page load error.

Secure Connection Failed

lists.xcf.berkeley.edu uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

 * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it  
could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

 * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past,  
the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

[Gimp-user] Gimp help pages (Windows)

2009-07-27 Thread Steve VanSlyck
The page at http://www.gimp.org/windows/ says It is highly recommended
that you install the help files (GIMP User Manual) that are provided as
a separate package (see above). The documentation is also available
online, but it doesn't provide a link to whatever one needs to download
to obtain the help files or any instructions on how to do so, and the
info at http://www.gimp.org/docs/ isn't helpful either. That second page
does say GIMP comes with a built-in help system, but this seems to be
inconsident with the need to install help pages.
 
Where can we download the help pages and how are they installed?
