Re: color palette in context of graphical charter
Your post had me confused for a while, although you wrote 'colour selection dialog' I actually interpreted it as the 'palette dialog'...duh!. And therein lies the answer to your problem. The gimp allows you to store a 'charter' as you call it, in the 'palette dialog'. You can drag and drop selected colours from the tool box or colour selection dialog to a new palette where it will be saved. As far as I am aware there is no way to associate a palette with an image, but it will always be there until you decide to delete it. Subject: color palette in context of graphical charter In "color selection" dialog, there's a watermark tab that permit to store 10 diffents colors. It's very intersting to preserve a graphical charter. Is there a possibility to save this "palette" of color in a file. Because, when you quit The GIMP, these palette is cleared. The "top" (as we say in France) should be that this palette should be saved in the xcf file. Regards.
Fw: animated gif's frames extraction from commandline
Hi! Is it possible to extract all the frames from an animated gif to separate files automatically? convert +adjoin filename.gif newfilename.gif should seperate the frames into individual files. I can't interpret what it is you describing below so I'll pass on that part. Actually I want to concatenate an other gif to the left side of an exsisting animated one, and I thought the simpliest way to deconstruct the animated gif, and place the other gif with combine which comes whith the imagemagic package, since it doesn't work on animated pictures. Is it really the simpliest method? Sorry if its a stupid qiestion but I'm newbie in computer graphics :) thanx for you help in advance dealer
Patching Gimp
Howdy Is it easy to apply a patch for gimp? With the increased frequency of releases, I'm begining to wonder if it would be quicker to apply the patch instead of downloading the complete tarball? Nigel
Re: Pdf, eps, ps? (Was: xcf -- eps)
You may want to try the lyx document processor to compose your document www.lyx.org. Lyx can import your gimp file so long as it is saved as an EPS. When the document is complete save as postscript, then use the ps2pdf utility to turn it into a pdf. With the right preamble and structure you can even get the navigation pane working on your pdf documents. Another alternative would be to check out htmldoc, this programme will convert your html documents to pdf documents www.easysw.com - Original Message - From: "Carl-Johan Sveningsson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "clemensF" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 09, 2000 11:32 AM Subject: Re: Pdf, eps, ps? (Was: xcf -- eps) Well, it may sound confused, and is only sligthly gimp-related (it's my favourite tool), but can someone inform me of the best way to create _good_ portable documents, preferrably under linux, preferrably without spending thousands of bucks on Adobe software? ASCII text. you wouldn't want to trade the box for what's in it, would you? Umm..."trade the box for..."? Ok, my point seemingly didn't make it through...when saying "portable documents", I was more aiming for the pdf graphically-, layout-portable than a multiplatform-, readable-on-all-platforms-portable. You get my point? How can I in a good way under linux (with gimp?) create portable text/graphical productions? /Carl-Johan "Succumb to natural tendencies. Be hateful and boring."

Re: selection to paths?!
I think the paths option is only a function of the developers version of gimp 1.2.x. Yes Gimp has shortcut functionality too, the key shortcuts are listed on menu items when you right click on any image. Its also possible to reassign these shortcuts. From memory you press the keys you want to assign after highligting a particular menu item Nigel - Original Message - From: "coleen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 6:02 PM Subject: selection to paths?! Hi, I'm new to the list and also new to GIMP. I'm a long-time Photoshop user and visual designer, so I can maneuver around a tool like GIMP/Photoshop pretty well; lots of UI similarities. However, I'm having trouble with paths in GIMP. I run 1.0.4 on Redhat Linux on my laptop, and also on my Solaris box at work. Both boxes run Gnome, of course. On my laptop, when I choose the Layers, Channels... menu item, I get the tabbed inspector that has only two tabs: Layers and Channels. Isn't there supposed to be a paths tab? On my Solaris box, when I do the same thing, I see the paths tab there, but when I try "paths to selection", I get an error that says something like: paths to selection failed. Very unhelpful. Also, I'm used to working fast in Photoshop with keyboard shortcuts... does GIMP have that functionality? Frustrated, Coleen
Fw: Two How-to Questions
My apologies for the lame answer, only just realised after reading earlier posts that bezier isnt the tool your looking for.

What you have suggested makes a selection of the boundary itself, but I want to be able to select the area inside the boundary. Consider the GFig function again. You draw a shape in GFig, with the settings on the Paint tab set to "Draw on New" and "Using selection". Then when you click the Paint button, it draws a selection in the shape that you drew in GFig. It is this functionality that I want, but I don't necessarily want to use GFig. In other words, you use the pencil tool to draw a closed path and then you obtain a selection using that path.

Fw: Toolbox always on top?
Howdy You can also set your window manger to raise/focus any of the windows whenever the mouse moves over any one of them. It works really well with gimp, specially if you have many dialog windows open, or like tearing off menus and littering the screen with them.

Also the Layer-Window should have the possibility to be "always on top" You can do this with your windowmanager. I use Enlightenment and there is a menu in the title bar that lets you lock 'on top' and turn on 'stickey' so the toolbar stays put as I switch to different desktops. -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/ "Everybody loves the GIMP!" http://www.gimp.org/
Re: crop tool behaviour
You may want to try using the guides. To place guides right click on the
left or top ruler and then drag a guide into the picture. You can fine
tune its position by using the move tool.
Now when you go to make your selection it will snap to the guides for
your crop(assuming this function is turned on which it is by default)
Your message is a little confusing, but hope this helps

I don't think it's a good idea to move the cropping selection on topright and
bottomleft corner while scale it on the other two. I'd rather use alt for the
selection movement. imagine having a huge image and want to make a precise
crop. You would have two reectangles, one in top right and one in bottom left
of the image. It is a pain to exactly position the cropping rectangle. You
cannot alter the bottom left and top right corners...
I solved the situation with two selections and crop from selection, but it is
not quite right.
Can I have your thoughts on that?

Re: Script-fu and gimp-1.1.11
There was some discussion on the developers list about undo that you may want to take a look at. However I dont know if it answers your question as Im not a programmer and therefor dont understand what there on about. http://www.mail-archive.com/gimp-developer%40scam.xcf.berkeley.edu/ As for things being broken past and present, well thats just part and parcel of the developers version isnt it? ;) Carl-Johan Sveningsson wrote: It's not just you.
