Re: [Gimp-user] gimp 2.0 woes - screenshots, text, and interface
Maybe I'll just switch window managers whenever I want to take a screenshot. D'oh! Is not it faster and easier to take a screenshot of the whole sreen and crop the result? You will have the screenshot loaded on the GIMP not on some dummy viewer after all. Kinda sucks to have to do that. But if I were on Windows facing the same conundrum, it would be kinda hard to switch explorer.exe with another GUI shell. Man, even when stuff goes wrong on GNU/Linux, there never seems to be any dead ends. I always seem to find a way around any problem... ;-) Thanks!

[Gimp-user] gimp 2.0 woes - screenshots, text, and interface
Hi all, I'm on Debian woody (testing), using gimp 2.0.6 with the enlightenment window manager (no GNOME/KDE) and have a few problems. 1. I can't take single window screenshots. Everything looks the same as with gimp 1.3. I click on Acquire | Screenshot and make sure that a Single Window is checked. However, when I go to take the screenshot, the screenshot is of the entire screen, not just one window. Single window screenshots have not worked for me since the day I upgraded to gimp 2.x. What's going on? I can't believe that single window screenshots work for the rest of the world, but not for me :) 2. How do you move text? Once I lay down text onto an image, I can't seem to move it around in the image like I could with gimp1.2. It's almost like the text is not on the image, but I can see it on the image. 3. GNOME2 is ugly. And it's significantly slower than GNOME1.2. Is there any way to get the GNOME1 interface back? Thanks!

Screenshots to standard out. Love it! :) Turns out that xwd didn't work, HOWEVER, playing around with it revealed something really curious. At first it just gave me a black thumbnail looking thing. I then switched over to the first virtual screen (I have 8 screens total) and it worked great. xwud and gimp both showed perfect single window screenshots. I then did the same thing with gimp, and by Zeus, it worked. So it appears that gimp and xwd screenshots work on the first virtual desktop. Doesn't work on any additional desktops (I think Enlightenment comes with 2 by default as shipped with Debian). Each virtual desktop has 2 screens. OK. Problem solved. Thank you very much for suggesting that. I don't think I would've found that if you hadn't made that suggestion. And it makes it perfectly clear what package deserves the bug report. :) Now I'll just sit back and let Google index this thread for future generations. :) Thanks, Carol. You're awesome!

So I'm not much into CVSing or compiling especially from what I read for compiling the GIMP 2.0 from scratch ( I need: pkg-config, GTK+ 2.2.2, GLib 2.2.0, Pango 1.2.0, ATK 1.2.0, FreeType2, Fontconfig, libart2). I'm not up to that, got too much going on so I was wondering if anyone has compiled an RPM of GIMP 2.0 for Mandrake 10.0 or are planning to and if so please post here with a link??

This is an enormous annoyance for me, since I have many CD's of images, all organized in directories with thumbs stored in the respective .xvpics directories so that they don't have to be regenerated each time a user pops the CD into their drive. The new ~/.thumbnails setup is unacceptable for this use, since the last thing I want is for every user to have to store hundreds of MB of thumbnails of every image in their home directories. I can use the makexvpics package to generate the .xvpics directories in lieu of gimp, but that's only half the battle. Is there any way to make gimp 2.0's open file dialog read the .xvpics thumbnail if one exists, then fall back to the ~/.thumbnails version if it's not there (or even vice versa)? This seems like a logical feature, given gimp's history of creating .xvpics directories. If not, I'm gonna have to drop back to gimp v1 or switch to some other package that still uses .xvpics thumbs. -- Obi-Wan -- Ben Obi-Wan Hollingsworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance I owe only to the Giver of all good things, so if I stand, let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through. -- Rich Mullins ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The new ~/.thumbnails setup is unacceptable for this use, since the last thing I want is for every user to have to store hundreds of MB of thumbnails of every image in their home directories. The thumbnail spec could easily be extended to support this. I've already written the libgimpthumb API in a way that allows thumbnails to be read from other places than ~/.thumbnails. Now this is a good chance for you to contribute. Please make yourself familiar with the thumbnail managing spec: http://triq.net/~jens/thumbnail-spec/index.html Then subscribe to the mailing-list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) where the specs are being discussed and bring up your issues with the spec. See http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg I am perfectly willing to change thumbnail handling but only after the spec has been changed. The spec isn't final yet and it shouldn't be a problem to see it extended. Is there any way to make gimp 2.0's open file dialog read the .xvpics thumbnail if one exists, then fall back to the ~/.thumbnails version if it's not there (or even vice versa)? This seems like a logical feature, given gimp's history of creating .xvpics directories. No, there's no way. The .xvpics concept sucked and the quality of the previews was unacceptable. So we dropped support for it. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] gimp-2.0 and XPM on WinXP
I recently download gimp-2.0 for windows but found that it does not save images in XPM format. How can I do it? What has to be added? Taras ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Taras Kapuszczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I recently download gimp-2.0 for windows but found that it does not save images in XPM format. How can I do it? What has to be added? The XPM plug-in needs libxpm. As far as I can remember there is a version of libxpm that does not depend on X11. I have no idea why the Windows installer doesn't include this library and the xpm plug-in. May I ask why you want to write XPM at all? There are certainly nicer ways to include images with your source code. With the exception of one or two plug-ins, we completely eliminated the use of XPM from The GIMP source code. Images are now either loaded on demand using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() or we use a compiled-in version generated using gdk-pixbuf-csource. The main advantage of this approach is that a true alpha channel can be used which is not possible with XPM.

[Gimp-user] gimp-2.0: Snap to guide changed?
I was using gimp-2.0 (on Windows) for the first time last night and noticed a difference in the snap to guide handling compared to gimp-1.2.5. I often use guides to constrain rectangular selections and when the selection is across the full width or height of the image I will increase the size of the window so there is some space around the image. I will then click and start dragging in the space around the image, move into and right over the image and to the extent I want to select in the other dimension. The selection snaps to the guide and displays its marching ants outside the image, into the space around it. When the mouse button is released the selection shrinks so only the area within the image itself is selected. When I did this in gimp-2.0 last night I discovered that the snap to guide now only works while the mouse pointer is actually over the image. As I start the drag (outside the image) there is no snapping to the guide. When the mouse pointer moves over the image, snapping occurs, but when the mouse pointer exits the other side of the image the snapping stops again. This means the one needs to work more precisely, and slowly, to ensure that the selection extends right up to the image without the mouse pointer actually exiting the image. Is this perhaps something that is controlled by an option or is it a change in behaviour in gimp-2.0? If it is an intentional change in behaviour, is there perhaps another way to make such a selection without the need for the precision near the edges of the image?

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.0 Kudos and Comments
t the start, I just wanted to say how much I liked GIMP 2.0. I love the new handling of text. I really like the docks. I find paths much easier to work with. I'm having lots of fun doing animations with GAP. It's a lot of nice work. Here's some comments of mine: 1) There's a cost to download WinGIMP 2.0. Who gets this money? My initial assumption was that it was the GIMP foundation, and, if so, I've got no trouble making that donation. I just caught that it's available for free download at http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html 2) I really like the GIMP animation tools, but I've got a suggestion. Motion paths don't keep the layer mode (it's always Normal, never multiply, darken, lighten, etc. . .) Could they be changed so that they keep the layer mode? So, for instance, you could have a multiplied layer move across the frame to appear like a shadow. 3) Has anyone written a utility to do batch file conversions of files with animation suffixes? The only format that encodes to MPEG is ppm, but that doesn't keep layer information, which would be great to keep. Thanks folks. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I just caught that it's available for free download at http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html The GIMP foundation is in no way associated with WinGIMP or MacGIMP. Mathew Caughron gets the money for WinGIMP. He may or may not decide to give some of it back to the GIMP developers. Last year he helped us with a small donation and a couple of free CDs for the GIMP developers conference. 2) I really like the GIMP animation tools, but I've got a suggestion.

That is a private business operation, and Mat has donated money to the project in the past. Given that Jernej provides a free installer now, I don't know what extras Mat offers with wingimp. The money does not go directly to The GIMP. For the other two questions, I'm afraid I don't know the answer.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.0 difficulties
1. We don't have directions for including XSane in the new Gimp. 2. The dialog for writing a PostScript file still resets to the wrong (for me) values, and I don't know how to set them permanently. I want no offsets, inches instead of cm, and encapsulated Postscript. 3. The text tool is different. Before when I used it I got a dialog that showed me a bunch of typefaces, allowed me to select a face and a size, and allowed me to type in a text string for pasting in my image. Now I get a dialog that only allows me to import text from a file. I don't know how to resize the text, change the font etc. Any hints on the above? -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Plug-in defaults are planned but not for 2.0 and it's even unlikely to appear in 2.2. A quick search on bugzilla would have revealed this to you. 3. The text tool is different.

By default they appear right under the toolbox. If you put them somewhere else, a double-click on the tool icon should should raise them.
