Sadly, no.

I agree. Right now the GIMP core is being reworked - has largely been
reworked; next will probably be "non-destructive editing", and I really
hope then there could be an on-disk journal for recovery and for saving
undo history across sessions.

[Gimp-user] for me a sad case - xcf -file lost

2013-06-17 Thread Uniklaps
Hi, friends,

 

working with my Wacom-tablet for 20 min without saving (of course as a .xcf
- file  :-) ) 

GIMP got hung up and closed. No chance to save my data. If important: I
tried to use the 

bucket fill and was trying to select the colour. GIMP go on strike (may be
because it is 24:00 or 00:00 

 

Is there anywhere a hidden place on my disk where GIMP save my work in the
background (like Open Office) ??

And: It would be great to have this restore-function in GIMP too when
restartíng a hung-up GIMP.

 

To talk about or to solve problems like this is (in my eyes) more important
than an annoying sad-case - discussion 

 

Thanks for help!

 

Yours Konrad

If Gimp is slowed down by memory issues in startup, I don't see how you 
can realistically expect to use it with real images that will quickly 
require a couple of hundred megabytes. After startup, with no images, my 
64-bit Linux Gimp uses 60MB or memory (+ 20MB shared) but even simple 
image quickly double this.


Starting Gimp also implies some file activity, so you have some I/O 
contention instead. What are the slow machines displaying when they limp 
along? loading plugins? checking fonts?

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP on Thin clients

2013-06-17 Thread Dominik Tabisz
Try Edit>Preferences>Enviroment (it's the first card in dialog box)

There You'll control maximum size of image, size of cache etc.

In theory there is another solution - Xprograms can be run on one
machine and displayed on another. This was philosophy behind Xserver
and Xclient but i've never heared about anybody running GIMP this way.

Good Luck
Dominik

This depends on the sorts of edits you do.

For example, changing contrast or levels globally, or running a sharpen
filter, will often accentuate the original jpeg artifacts so that they
in turn create new artifacts.

(that's why I mentioned levels, curves and sharpen explicitly in the
post i made somewhere else in this thread).


Yes, this is why I said "local" editing.

Excellent post sir. Just because one is in software development, doesn'
t mean they understand professional image editing workflow.

Yeah I'm looking at a certain Debian developer  ;-D
