 So I've finally upgraded to GIMP 2.8, finding that .abr was native. I've

 sometimes
 if I try to fix the brushes by uninstalling and reinstalling there will be
 random ones that work and then old ones disappear?

ABR isn't native. It's Photoshop's file format, and not all revisions
of that file format are supported.

Also, I don't understand this part: even the brushes that are not in
.abr form do not work. That makes no sense :) If you download some
arbitrary file, why would it work? If those were GIMP's GBR brushes,
that would be an entirely different thing, of course, but you didn't
provide a clue :)

So, I'm afraid, you will need to elaborate a bit on the files you are
talking about.

[Gimp-user] Vista style glassy buttons

2013-10-24 Thread br3n065
I know you side that you've searched here, but the 'Create Soft Glassy Buttons'
tutorial seems pretty good, and maybe also the 'Orb-Icons For Websites'. Just
reading through them might give you some ideas on how you could make the exact
style your after. I hope that helps.

I am trying to type www.pol and everything I get to the .p - Gimp automatically
changes the function to the paintbrush. How can I get it to stop doing this so
that I can actually type? Thank you!

Mabe there is a keyboard shortcut? Go to Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts and 
chekc.

oh I'm sorry, I read that wrong somewhere. Okay, NOT native.
I'm not sure what format they are in but it's the brush that you can see, I
believe it is jpg or png.
Typically the brushes I use that I'm not sure are in .abr format are just a
white page in the brushes.
However, the ones that worked on 2.6 for me, are the brushes that you can see
the image.
I've attached a link to show you what I meant, I hope it helps.

[Gimp-user] Ubuntu Gimp menus slow to load

2013-10-24 Thread woollypigs
Hello

Running Gimp 2.8.6 on Ubuntu 13.10, 3Gb RAM, 1.6Ghz dual core laptop.

Gimp has been working just fine until two or so weeks ago, around the same time
that 13.10 became live. I had been running 13.10 in beta for a few months before
that. All updates installed, even tried to un-install and re-install Gimp.

Still opening Gimp at normal speed, but now the menu (File - Edit - Select etc)
takes around 10 or more seconds to appear and the drop down takes around 2-3
seconds to render. If I can remember the short cut, I can use them without the
wait. When I switch from another program its menu is displayed for a while.
Often have to wait for longer to get the menu back.

I tried to use Gimp alone, with only one file (4Mb .jpg) but that didn't help.
Gimp takes up 125Mb ram and is not freaking out the CPU.
 
Anything I could do to fix it?
