Patrick No, I would say it has to do with the GIMP build process itself. Long story, short after 4 re-installs I have come to determine that the 2.6.38.* kernals don't seem to like (some) nvidia cards. I googled and tried tons of things with no luck. So...I ended up reverting back to 10.10 and am hoping 11.10 will actually work correctly with my video card(on a laptop.. so can't switch out!). On 10.10, I installed gimp 2.6.* from apt package and the pen works with pressure sensitivity AND the input devices work correctly for editing. ie, Gimp 2.6.x works fine. I then built/compiled all of the prerequisites(Glib, GTK+, gdk-pixbuf, pixman, cairo, babl, gegl) and then gimp into its own prefix BUT the same issue is happening, so all I can assume from this is that it has to do with some from the build process(or something missing!) However, this time while the items are all greyed out, the pen pressure DOES work this time. The thing that does not work is the stylus/eraser(meaning that they won't 'bind' to separate tools and remember them). Ie, it's working as a regular mouse + pressure. One thing I did see when configure ran was in the optional modules section of the output, I got this: Linux Input: yes (GUDev support: no) While this is a bummer, it is something I can live with for a few months until 2.8 is actual release and hopefully the packaged build will work properly even if I have to build the prerequisites manually. Hopefully by that time, 11.10 will also be released and I can make a test partition to see if it agrees with my video card. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Be sure to use the gimptool program that came with the version of GIMP that you want the plug-in to work with. Greetings, Petar Thanks for answering. Gutenprint is a case apart.It's not like the regular python plugins. In Gentoo you can indicate to the package managing system that you want it also as a plugin for Gimp. All packages in Gentoo are compiled on your box. I have in the past done this with 2.6 several times worked ok. Gerard. O.K. then, but if you emerge it without any additional options it will be compiled against the GIMP version that resides in /usr, right?

I tried and experienced the same thing as you, and I got a 5x7 cm square with X and Y resolution 89 pixels/in on my monitor. The reason of this is that at 100% zoom level, gimp indicates each pixel of the picture on one pixel of the monitor, independently from resolution. Resolution and image size in pixels determine together the image size in cm. The meaning of image size of 5x7 cm for eg. 72 pixels/in when your monitor has a different resolution is that if you print your image with the set resolution, you will get the an 5x7 cm image. (72 pixel/in printed is quite poor resolution.)

However the actual definition of the output is so variable that in most cases one doesn't bother, and produces an image that will have sufficient pixels (so if you know you are going to print and doing the image from scratch you can set 300PPI in the new dialog). In any case the actual output size will be specified when printing...

Yes, it is a must unless you are using GIMP 2.4 or earlier. The TinyScheme component of GIMP more closely follows the Scheme standard. The standard requires variables in a lot block to have an initial value, and all variables must be declared before first use. You should take a look at the Script-Fu migration guide at http://www.gimp.org/docs/script-fu-update.html and my notes at http://www.ve3syb.ca/wiki/doku.php?id=software:sf:updating-scripts (which cover most of the same points). I think that this line is not returning the number of layers as we're expecting. I tried using gimp-message to write the number of layers out to the console, but it generates another batch execution error. [snip] (gimp-message The current file has the following number of layers: ) (gimp-message num-layers) The problem with the above is you are passing an integer to gimp-message instead of passing a string. You need to wrap num-layers in a call to number-string. You can combine the two calls to gimp-message so the number of layers appears in the message by doing the following: (gimp-message (string-append The current file has the following number of layers: (number-string num-layers))) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP
Hi Sven, The third image in my yesterday's mail, shows the (Windows) folder where the help was installed: it was definitely nl. Of course I can still download the en-version. I understand that would then be put in a en-folder where GIMP would find it. My clever (?) otherwise-proposition was to simply rename the existing nl-folder in en, hoping that GIMP then would show the - partly - translated Dutch help instead of the pure English, which for some people here is like Chinese. BTW: You CC'd your mail to the gimp-usr list but it was not bounced to me. But I can see it in the archive. How come? Thanks for your reaction.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp and Turboprint
I run Ubuntu Studio 9.10 as my OS, have Gimp 2.6 installed and running perfectly, Gimp 2.7 installed and running fine. My problem: When I print from 2.6, I can choose to print or Turboprint (using that non-free application which gives me full functionality on my Canon i960 photo printer). If I print from 2.7, the Turboprint option is not available and, while I can get my i960 to work, full functionality is not available. I'm guessing that the problem stems from the way in which 2.7 was installed so that it coexists with 2.6 on my system, but I would like to get 2.7 to recognize and use Turboprint. Any advice?

I don't know where this Turboprint option is, but if it's a separate Print option in GIMP's File menu, my guess is that Turboprint is installing its own Print plug-in, and you need to copy the one it installed for 2.6 to 2.7. It might be installed in your profile directory, e.g. ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins, or it might be installed in a system location, e.g. /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins.

The pixel sizes of the drawings are 21600 x 33184. [...] Has anyone had trouble using with such a large sized file? IIRC GIMP uses 5 bytes minimum per canvas pixel: 1 selection + 4 RGBA projection. So 21600 * 33184 * 5 = 3583872000, over 3GB just to show the image. This is without counting the real pixel data, I do not rememember which happens with paletized or grey images, they could use 1 byte per pixel of the single layer or require expansion to 3-4, so the real number could be 5GB (if someone uses this formula for other images, in multilayer case, add the pixels each one use, obviously). Which means you need a 64 bit computer and OS, a lot of memory and a really fast memory bus... and based in comments of a person than regularly works with 1 pixel images, a lot of patience too (6 patiences, as your case is 6 times bigger).

That's because it's wrong usage. scripts/ dir holds Script-Fu scripts; that is the *only* kind of script it holds. Putting other types of script in there is not intended to work in any meaningful sense, nor does it. In case it is not already clear, there is no functional difference between a Python script (aka Python plugin) and a Script-fu script. Both can register any number of PDB functions which are then usable from any PDB-enabled interface (eg Script-Fu, Python, Ruby, Lua, Perl,...) Your python plugins/scripts should all go in the plugins directory. Anyway, if you are working with Python, consider using the Python console instead of the Script-fu console; it's at Filters-Python-Fu-Console in the menus. You might also be interested in the 'python-fu-eval' function, which is useful for batch work. You can specify python-fu-eval as the batch interpreter (--batch-interpreter python-fu-eval), and then -b arguments will be treated as Python code to execute rather than Script-Fu code to execute.

IIRC wiki is offline now (that ism the potential documentation host :-P), so I can't point you to the page. We use DocBook/XML for storing original content in English and PO files for storing translation. This is great for translating, because you don't need to manually look for updated pages or watch them all the time. You just see what messages in a PO file are marked as fuzzy (changed) and edit them. The workflow is: Someone edits the original XML file. Translators run a command that updates their translations (in PO files). Then they look at changes (easy to do in any PO editor), apply changes and commit them to Git repository. As a side remark, I'm genuinely not impressed by wiki based documentations. They are not exactly as manageable as I'd like them to be. I'm judging by wiki.scribus.net for example. FLOSS manuals is another example: we actually have a problem figuring out who does what in the Inkscape manual, because despite of being told to people silently edit something somewhere and never introduce themselves or tell about their plans, so clashes are inevitable.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP vs Photoshop
There are a few things that GIMP needs to be competitive with PS. 1) A decent batch processor and I'm not talking about learning a whole programming language to do so. 2) 16 bit color. 3) Better zonal control so one can adjust light and dark areas of a digital photo more easily so as to enhance shadow detail and reduce highlight blowout. 4) A better raw converter. UFRaw is good but could be improved a lot.

On 1/17/10, Norman Silverstone wrote: There are a few things that GIMP needs to be competitive with PS. Just a few? :) Why is it necessary for GIMP to be competitive with PS? You probably meant to say competitive against PS, didn't you? :) There is no reason why developers of free software should think in terms of competition unless they work on a project full-time which changes quite a lot. And yet there are many reasons why they at least sometimes *could* think about it. Many interesting free applications have grown from an interest in something and further work is often largely based on motivation that comes from user base, one way or another. A lot of projects died simply because developers didn't receive feedback and decided the project was useless. If you read Enselic's blog, you probably remember that a positive review of 2.6 on Ars Technica quite motivated him to work on 2.7 and beyond. So a free software project is a two-way street. Hold on to that thought. In terms of functionality GIMP has a unique position, shared *probably* only with Artweaver. It isn't a simple editor like Paint.net or Photofiltre, and yet it doesn't have many hi-end features of Ps or PSP. This is actually the reason why so many users have problems with GIMP: they expect that everything beyond Paint.Net and the like is supposed to be on par with Ps. You don't have to like it, btw :) It just exists. So when it comes to GIMP users, what you are dealing with is in fact a lot of people who see and acknowledge GIMP's potential to become a kick-ass hi-end application, but they cannot use it for work right now, because some important features are lacking or because the work can be done, but in a much longer time. In some cases, like since recently in my country, people are forced to use GIMP, because management tells them so, because companies cannot afford Ps licenses. Being able to do work that's in front of you, the time it takes you to accomplish it -- these are the things people are usually quite emotional about. And this is where demand for competition comes from, whether you like it or not. As I understand it, it isn't users that GIMP wants, it is developers prepared to give freely of their time and expertise.

Hey people, I didn't start this thread. Don't grind my ass... All I did was mention the obvious features that GIMP doesn't have compared to PS. And I meant competitive *WITH* not *AGAINST* PS. It doesn't have to replace PS -- if GIMP is to eventually have the same utility of PS then it needs the features (and more) that I mentioned. Why would anyone get their knickers in a bunch about that and start shouting ...put up or shut up... To be clear, I will *NEVER* work on the innards of GIMP. But I will use it for so long as it is available and meets my current needs. And if you or anybody else doesn't like that idea -- stop making it available. Keep it to yourself.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP vs Photoshop
I'm sure many professional photographers swear by these. Its up to you to decide if the quality of the results warrant the price. The only way to know - for you - is to compare both the commercial apps and the open source alternatives for what you're trying to accomplish. I would like to add one thing here: you _will_ find that the commercial apps are better, almost without a doubt. Therefore, please file bugs and feature requests at Digikam and F-spot to request the features missing from those apps. I was a heavy F-spot user some years ago, but I switched to Digikam for some feature that F-spot has since acquired. Both apps have serious development teams and they love bug reports and feature requests. So please, make sure that you request the features missing that only the commercial apps currently have, so that they can be ported to Digikam and F-spot. Just be sure to describe the feature in a way that assumes the dev reading the feature request is _not_ familiar with the commercial app, and has no access to it. That way the feature that gets added to the open source app is not a rip-off of the commercial counterpart, rather an independently-developed feature.
