Re: [Gimp-user] Can't open Gimp
You have opened the terminal app correctly. You didn't type the command correctly. You need to type ls -alr ~/Library without the quotes. You were missing the ls part.

[Gimp-user] can't add new fonts
Hello, I have Gimp 2.8 installed on my laptop ( using Windows 7 Home Premium) and after successfully installing new fonts to on my laptop, I can't see them in gimp. I tried to copy them to fonts folder in gimp but still nothing. I saw there were several fonts folder and I think I have tryed them all with no success. Someone could help. Thank you. Andrea I am having the same problem. I am using Gimp 2.8.4 and Win 7 home 64. New fonts are installed but not visible in Gimp. Does anyone know a solution for this? Much appreciation.

Re: [Gimp-user] Funding new features in gimp - what features wouldyou choose?

Why ask for partial solutions instead of definite solution to problems with paths? Maybe this would satisfy Your needs: Some time ago there was something like Gimp in pictures - i don't remember exact name nor addres of the site. It was display of drawings presenting new ideas for Gimp. One of such idea was to add one functionality to paths: edit in Inkscape. There are some limitations what can be done with paths in xcf fileformat, but still something like this would improved path handling in Gimp. Just merge paths card with Inkscape. This can be done in a different way too: Add one more card to tools menu / tools window. On this new card i'd expect everything to do with paths (everything what can be ported from Inkscape). Both projects are GPL licensed so there is no reason why whole menu layout, design and functions cannot be borrowed from Inkscape. Just instead of opening one path tool user would press this icon and switch to path menu (with everything from drawng to free transformation). Again it would require just one icon to switch back into raster menu. At the moment path handling in Gimp is like Adobe-style tortures. This could be redesigned for more comfortable and effective workflow. Such redesign would both help with current workflow and also open new, unprecedented ways to design and manipulate images. Of course xcf and svg handle paths in slightly different ways. I couldn't find path color attributes in any overview of xcf, but ideas like nodes, layers, shapes... can be used in both ways of thinking. So why don't use ideas of similar transformations? Dominik Tabisz P.S. I don't understand how this crowd gathered money would make Gimp developers code changes to Gimp. Are we going to hire someone to code this changes for us, or it will be kind of prize for supplying Gimp fork, that work as we want? Otherwise it would be nice to hear from developers, that feature we desire is available. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Dominik Tabisz I'm not looking for complete inkscape path capabilities, but the features I'd like to see are a little more realistic I think. Gimp is awesome if you are only working with a few paths, but there are times I need to render many text letters for example. I like to do them individually so I can reuse same letters. I can end up with tons of paths. (Add path groups to my wishlist.) So when I have all my paths, I'll inevitably merge them together. Right now it'll discard your original paths and create a new one. If you find a mistake later on or just want to make some alignment changes, you have to do it all manually. So I am left having to duplicate every single path, (sometimes lots of scrolling is involved) and then merge the dupes. This really slows production. When you actually do merge paths or do a text to path with overlapping paths, the selection is in exclusion mode So you can either manually join the paths, (tedious) or never merge them and select each one individually and add to selection. (tedious and doesn't work with text to path) Maybe a merge dialog is in order. Leave originals: y/n Merge Mode: Union/Exclusion etc.. At the very least, it should default to union and not exclusion. When working with paths there needs to be a way to select multiple nodes. This has been talked about before and really should be inside gimp already and not considered a feature. Erasing nodes should not be an exercise in carpel tunnel and eye strain. Path transformations should default to only transforming the path and not the path as it relates to the canvas. Right now you have to path-to-selection first, and then you have the marching ants you have to turn off is you want a fine sight adjustment. If you need to adjust it more or differently, you have to redo path to selection again. It's just too many steps to get into a flow. Swapping the behavior to default to transforming the shape only, and select the canvas to transform the path within the canvas size seems way more intuitive. Lastly, I doubt I'll ever see rotating guides in gimp but it would be fantastic. It looked like it might make it at one point, but it died. http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/2-4-and-how-to-continue-from-here-td21550.html I think of these things not so much as new features, since you can already do these things in gimp manually, (minus guides) but as improving the functionality that's already there. I realize that code is code whether it's called a feature or not. I just would rather cut out the tedium where possible. It would promote more creativity. akovia -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Funding new features in gimp - what features would you choose?
Hey, I am a gimp user and am working for a few days with this new crowd funding platform where new features for Free and Open Source Software can be funded one by one. The first Gimp feature is ready to fund: it is a cool symmetry painting tool, it would make a great addition to the software. You can donate anything from €1 up here: http://funding.openinitiative.com/funding/1578/ - also, you would get to test the feature and feedback before your donation goes through :) I hope to get some more features up there soon: which features would you donate too if you could? What functions are really urgently needed in GIMP? What creative stuff would you LOVE to do that isn't possible yet? Let me know ;) Best Anna Hi, I have seen in Photoshop that when you want to re-arrange objects on canvas you simply click the object you want moved and drag it to a new position without necessarily selecting the actual layer containing the object. Secondly, I would love to see the capability of paste in place in GIMP. IMO, these and many other improvements suggested by Akovia would make workflow easier.
