egroups.com attaches banner SPAM to EVERY POST!  Good gawd!  Just
configure the current server to reject all posts from non-subscribers.

Making persistient keybindings in channels, layers, paths dialogbox?

2000-09-27 Thread Vincent Frost

Hi!

Is there a way to make keybindings to blending modes (sorry if I'm using
the wrong terms here...that's how they're expressed in
Photo$hop) in the Layers, Channels & Paths dialog persistent?  I can
dynamically bind them (by virtue of gtk's
dynamic binding feature), but these bindings never persist from gimp
session to gimp session.

If none of that made any sense, I'm looking to make it so the blending
modes (normal, dissolve, multiply, screen, divide, etc) to the
keypad...that is, KP_0 (0) to normal KP_1 to multiply (I never seem to
have any use for dissolve), and on up to KP_9 for lighten only. Then with
the blending modes for which there are no keys left (hue, saturation,
color and value) use ALT+KP_1  ALT+KP_2 etc.

It might sound like a lot of "sugar for a nickel" as my dad used to put
it, but I find these bindings incredibly useful because I'm constantly
blending layers...but I find that I have to reset them everytime I use the
gimp.  The gimp has no preset keybindings from anything in the keypad, and
since these are only bound to the layers, channels & paths dialog box,
they don't interfere with anything else...but at any rate, as it is now,
nothing will bind to these blending modes.  

Perhaps this could be added to a wish list?  Or perhaps there's something
I could define somewhere in ~/.gimp ?  I've looked pretty carefully but as
yet have found nothing there.

Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Vince Frost

egroups spams each message themselves, by appending crap at the bottom. 
At least that was my experience with the oracle list hosted there. 
egroups sucks, don't go that way.

I'd be happy to host the list if anyone's interested -- we currently host
most of the kde lists under the "netcentral.net" domain, and are starting to
host free lists as a public service under the "gnulists.org" and
"linuxlists.org" domains.  We have a very fast server farm, and currently
serve about 500,000 subscribers with no spam problems.

Advertisment? If we are gonna change to another place, I would ask
help to GNU or SourceForge, they give lists to open source projects
without ads.

But I guess that the only thing needed is to change a setting in the
current list config. And as with the website, the problem is to find
the person that can do it.

Hello - My name is Johnathon Rourke, I'm from Rhode Island.

The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my
fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some
thought and study to it. Two years ago, the corporation I worked for for

the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After
unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the

past year, I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed
my family, friends and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a
toll on my business and I just couldn´t seem to make ends meet. I
had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and
struggling business.

AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life. I am writing
toshare the experience in hopes that this could change your life
FOREVER. FINANCIALLY$$$!!!

In mid December, I received this program in my e-mail. Six months prior
to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on
various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my
opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me
to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see
if they would work. But as I was saying, in December of 1997 I
received this program. I didn´t send for it, or ask for it, they just
got my name off a mailing list.

THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure
I was reading it correctly. I couldn´t believe my eyes! Here was
a MONEY MAKING MACHINE I could start immediately without any debt.

Like most of you I was still a little skeptical and a little worried
about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post
Office (1-800-725-2161 24-hrs) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!

After determining the program was LEGAL I decided "WHY NOT!?!??"

Initially I sent out 10,000 e-mails. It cost me about $15 for my time
on-line. The great thing about e-mail is that I don´t need any money for

printing to send out the program, and because I also send the product
(reports) by e-mail, my only expense is my time.

In less than one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1.
By January 13, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. Your goal is
to "RECEIVE at least 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IF YOU
DON´T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO.

My first step in making $50,000 in 90 days was done. By January 30, I
had received 196 orders for REPORT #2. Your goal is to "RECEIVE
AT LEAST 100+ ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE

PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU
HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000
GOAL."

Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, 96 more than I needed. So I sat
back and relaxed. By March 1, of my e-mailing of 10,000, I received
$58,000 with more coming in every day. I paid off ALL my debts and
bought a much needed new car!

Please take your time to read this plan, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
FOREVER$!!!

Some solutions for you doubts:

1. Rounded corners tutorial http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat4/

2. Use the Newsprint plugin. It is applied for another effect in
http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat2/ The idea is to create a B&W
draw, blur it, and finally apply the plugin.

3. Add a new layer over the image, using Color mode. Fill it with the
color you want.

Hope they help.

I think for the last one you just need to use the newsprint filter
(under distorts).  You'll have to take it off RGB so that you just 
get black and white, of course!
