As far as I see Fedora doesn't have a preference. Which desktop environment in which version do you use? If you're unsure, please post a link to a meaningful screenshot.

hi it might be issue related to comunication between GIMP and Your window manager. Which one do You use? KDE, GNOME, LXDE, Fluxbox or something else? Please give us some more info: 1) Which window manager do You use 2) Which display manager do You use (gdm/kdm/xdm or other) 3) Have You tried to use GIMP in *any* other window manager. If yes, whether the problem still exist in other Wm. 2012/11/17, nitram2001 for...@gimpusers.com: I have recently upgraded to Fedora 17 and now have Gimp 2.8 as a consequence. As a user of Gnu/Linux I am used to using multiple workspaces, a separate workspace for each job in hand but have found that the behaviour of Gimp 2.8 is not to my liking. With Gimp set up in workspace 6 (say) the Gimp dialogs for layers, tools, tool options etc. appear in my other 5 workspaces cluttering them up. I have found no way to remove the sticky state of these little windows. I have no problem handling the sticky state with windows of any other application and I have had no problem with previous versions of Gimp. Please help me find a way to remove the sticky state from these windows. -- nitram2001 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Gimp pdf export turns high res xcf into low res file and distorts text
I'm working on graphic design for a CD (booklet, tray card, disc body, etc.) using Gimp. I set the xcf resolution to 300ppi and all of the photos I am using are also 300ppi. The file looks sharp in xcf format and also when exported to psd. But when I export to pdf from xcf the photos lose their resolution and the text loses its size and layout. and/or distorted (from psd to pdf). When I export from psd to xcf, the photos become blurry again and the text becomes distorted and illegible. I need to submit these files in pdf format to the printer who is producing the CDs, but the pdf files produced in Gimp are unacceptable. Any solutions? Thanks. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] Resynthezier: can't make it work
Doesn't work either. I think it's because I checked out resynth's git instead of a stabel branch, I probably got some work-in-progress code here that doesn't work. I'll try and compile and older stable release. I think I found the combination that I found before I lost all my notes when my system / hard drives crashed. 1. Select a RECTANGULAR area you want to take the sample from. This is NOT the texture source sample and my notes do not cover textures. 2. edit-copy 3. edit-paste as-new image 4. Switch to the new image. 5. Go to the layers window 6. Remove the alpha layer - The critical piece 7. Go back to the image you are editing. Select a target area you want to fill with the sample from step 1. 8. Now filters-map-resynthesize should allow you to select the newly created source image. This works on SuSE Linux 11.1 with resynthesize v. 0.16-1.2 END PASTE If you are having a compile / crash problem, then the answer lies elsewhere.

[Gimp-user] Sticky state of windows in Gimp 2.8
Thank you Dominik and Sven, To answer your questions: I use XFCE as my desktop manager and have done so for many years. I have had limited experience with KDE and the old Gnome. At present I have only GNOME(3) and XFCE on my machines. Using XFCE I can change the sticky state of any window by clicking in the tiny circle at the far left of the titlebar or by typing altf6. this works for any window, including the Gimp main window, but does not work on the Layers/Channels/Paths, Toolkit or tool options windows. I changed desktop this evening to GNOME and was not able to even find a way to get multiple workspaces. Since (at present) I cannot get multiple workspaces using GNOME I cannot try sticky state. I could go into the GNOME manuals to find out about multiple workspaces but I think that would be a waste of time and not solve my problem of the super-sticky windows. This small exercise reinforced my impression that GNOME3 is built for iphone users not for people who want to really use their computers as computers. GNOME has really screwed up. Anyway, that's how it stands. Since every other window, apart from those mentioned, works as ordered I am sure that it's a Gimp problem (maybe on purpose). I have tried the Gimp help but cannot find any reference to sticky windows or multiple workspaces. I just hope that someone can guide me to a solution. Gimp communicates well with my window manager in the case of the main window, just not with those other three windows. -- nitram2001 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Solved. Thank you so much. I checked out the reference that you gave me and found that the hint for docks and toolbox was Utility I changed it to Normal, restarted and all is well the windows behave as all others. Thank you again . Thanks. Thanks. Xfwm unfortunately handles utility windows differently from most other window managers.

[Gimp-user] Editing text along a path
I am new to Gimp and have loaded 2.8. I have been using it to create graphics for the pin-back buttons I make. I have been using the Photoshop 1 button template located on this page: http://buttonmakers.net/blog/new-photoshop-templates/ I'll attempt to attach the template to this post. The template has the words perimeter text that follows the inside of a path on the template. In the video demo on the same page in which the user used photoshop to demonstrate, she just hovers over the text with the mouse after selecting the text tool and is able to click on it and just change the exsisting text. I have not found this to be the case using Gimp. Is there a way I can easily edit this text, or do I have to create my own text along the path? If I have to create my own text along the path, how do I make it so the text follws in inside edge of the path? Thanks for you help.
