[Gimp-user] GEGL Background in GIMP
GIMP 2.8.4 Windows 7 64-bit Using the native GIMP rotate function to rotate a rectangular image about its centre (for instance) the corners of the image which are exposed by the rotation are set to RGB 0x00 with an alpha value of 0.so that these areas are transparent. If the same operation is performed as a GEGL operation the corners have RGB values of 0x00 but alpha values of 255 - i.e. they are solid black. Is there a setting to cause GEGL to use alpha values of 0 for these pixels? This also applies to GEGL operations such as shear. Adding an alpha channel causes the areas exposed by the rotation to have a graduated transparency. Problem solved. -- programmer_ceds (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] Utilisateur GIMP France ----- HDR
I am not aware of a GIMP plug-in or script that will use more than 3 layers for HDR but I believe Picturenaut (which I have not used) offers the possibility of using more layers. http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/ (I know this isn't GIMP but who goes through life trying to use one tool for all purposes?) I assume that 3 layers with large enough differences in exposure is inadequate for your purposes. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Counting colored pixels in an indexed picture?
Hi, I have an indexed picture with only 4 coloros in it. How can I count the number of pixels of each color. Played a bit with the Histogram window, but didn't find a way. Would be happy for some help. Thank you! Use the select by colour tool (with the mode set to Replace the current selection and then look at the histogram window. If you had an image with many more colours, or you wanted to do this for a large number of images, a simple script would be the answer. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Script Dialog Boxes Not On Top
Apologies if this has been asked already or is a known bug (I can't find any references on the net) - when activating a Python script the associated dialog box appears on top/in front of the image editing window - when a Script-Fu script is activated the dialog box appears behind the image window - necessitating a click on the tab for the script in the task bar. For the occasional use this isn't a problem but if the script is used frequently it is a pain. Is there any setting that will cause the Script-Fu dialogs to appear on top? Could this behaviour be changed in a future version of GIMP to make the Script-Fu scripts behave the same as the Python scripts - or is Script-Fu to become obsolete in future GIMP versions? I am running GIMP 2.8.14 on Windows 7 64-bit with the toolbox on one monitor and the image editing window on a second monitor. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Script Help - Basic Macro
You could try using the following function calls:
gimp-get-active-layer
gimp-layer-copy (returns the ID of the new layer)
gimp-set-active-layer (not sure if you will need this)
whatever functions you need to make the required changes
gimp-image-merge-down
To get started I would use the browse function in the console to get details of
the functions and their associated parameters (you can type part of what you are
looking for in the search box - for instance try just typing layer and see what
you get) but I would advise typing the script into a .scm (or .py) file rather
than having to keep entering data into the console - that saves time and typing.
Once you have made an edit to a .scm file you either have to restart GIMP to use
the new version of the file or use "Filters/Script Fu/Refresh Scripts"
The error messages can be a little cryptic but using gimp-message can help to
track down problems.
Look at the existing scripts in (on my PC) C:\Program Files\GIMP
2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts - search these files (or on the net) for the functions
you want to use. Possibly use one of the files as the basis for your own script.

[Gimp-user] Script Help - Basic Macro
I would suggest adding the following two lines at the start of your function:: (gimp-image-undo-group-start image) (gimp-context-push) and the following two lines at the end: (gimp-context-pop) (gimp-image-undo-group-end image) The 'undo' statements allow you to undo the effects of the script with one Ctrl-Z or "Edit/Undo" operation. The context push and pop statements will preserve the context through your script - not that you are affecting any of the context settings at the moment but you might use this script as the basis for another script in the future.

Am I missing something obvious here? I create a new image, use bucket fill to fill it with the background colour (not white, although the 'problem' still occurs with white) and add an alpha channel to the layer. I then select the eraser tool and erase a strip of the image - this works fine and I see the chequered/transparent background as expected. If I then erase another strip that in part crosses the first strip the intersection of the strips becomes white. Erasing the intersection again toggles it back to being transparent..

Hi Geoff, I have been trying your filter on some scanned negatives and the results look very promising (partly I need to refine my scanning set-up) Two comments though. Firstly when trying to run the script it fails as it can't find the debug folder that you have on your system - I have created a temporary folder on my (Windows 7) PC and edited the script to use this - but it might be better if debug was disabled by default so the average user didn't have to bother about this. (A similar situation applies to the folder for saving the options if this is selected). Secondly, and this is just a personal preference, I have moved the filter so that it appears in "Filters/Enhance/" as Restore3, rather than adding an entry to the menu bar.

Hi Mark and Helmut, I have made the following changes: Corrected the drawing of arrow heads at the end of paths that have more than 2 points Added extra controls to determine whether the wing length and brush thickness are related to the path length or in absolute pixels. This is instead of using negative numbers for relative settings and positive numbers for absolute pixel values. Added patches, supplied by Helmut, to allow the script to work in GIMP V2.9/V2.10 Removed previous edit comments and commented out code The warning about paths with more than 2 points is now only given once following an activation of GIMP or a refresh of the Script-Fu scripts Swapped the up/down cursor key actions with the page up/down actions for the LoW and BT value fields (the page keys now increment/decrement by 10 and the up/down keys by 1) I copied and pasted the changes from the diff file noted above so hopefully I have done this correctly - could you check on V2.9 for me please Helmut. The other good news is that the modified code works fine in V2.8.16 (I made sure that all 3 changes were executed by the script) The revised version is at the same link as before: http://www.programmer97.talktalk.net/Files/arrow.zip Please let me know if there are any problems. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

If you add the same number of pixels to both the width and the height the aspect ratio will change UNLESS the image is square (height = width) - this is a simple consequence of basic arithmetic. If you want the aspect ratio to be unaltered you will need to add more pixels on the shortest sides of the image than you do on the longest sides - how may more being determined by the aspect ratio of the original image. For example if the image was 400 x 200 pixels adding a 10 pixel border to all sides would give 420 x 220 - which alters the aspect ratio. Adding 10 pixels each side and 5 pixels top and bottom gives 420 x 210 which preserves the aspect ratio. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

There were a number of other changes that I had made to the script before that but I'm not sure whether or not they address the brush issue that you have. perhaps you could try my version of the script. If necessary we could amalgamate the changes to get a script that corrects a number of issues with the original script, draws curved arrows and solves your problem.

Thanks again for your work. The script was really only intended to work with a path of 2 points only but I will look at modifying it to place the second arrow at the final point of the curve. Having just checked, there is also an issue if a single arrow head is drawn based on the last point of a path with more than two points - the centre of the arrow doesn't lie along the final segment of the path. The easy approach would be to only allow the script to work on paths with two points but I'll think about it. Regarding the relative/absolute values - there are two of the controls where this would have to be done if they are to operate independently and give the greatest flexibility. Again I'll think about this. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

There would appear to be something odd with Paths in V2.8.16 at least. The documentation says that the "eye" icon (to the left of the "chain" icon and the preview) in the Paths dialog should show an open eye if the path is visible - for me this icon is blank after I have defined a path. Clicking on this icon after using the arrow script causes the path to reappear on the image but in orange/red rather than the normal white - perhaps someone could try this using V2.9 - if it still behaves the same way (the path isn't shown after the Undo of the arrow script) then it would be worth filing a bug report. If the path is shown in V2.9 then I would suggest ignoring the problem. Re-running the arrow script after the Undo still uses the path even though it isn't visible so for me it isn't a big issue. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Unified transform Tool When Zoomed In
Firstly I would like to say that the Unified Transform tool is a brilliant idea - much easier to use than a combination of the separate tools and only one round of interpolation at the end. There is, however, a problem if you are using the tool on a reasonable sized image and want to zoom in to fine tune the transformation - the control points disappear and the only available operations are moving the whole image or moving the centre of rotation (unless I am missing some way of selecting the other operations). With the individual tools (rotate, perspective, shear etc.) it is still possible to make the transformation even when zoomed in. One possible solution would be use "View/New View". the additional view that results can be zoomed independently to the main/original view and can be used as a magnifier for part of the image. However, for this to be a solution the additional view would need (possibly as an option) the ability to reflect the state of the main view in real time - currently it is only updated on the completion of an operation - for example a line drawn with the pencil only appears in the additional view when the mouse button is released, whereas the part drawn line appears immediately on the main view. Similarly the effects of the Unified Transform tool only appear when the operation is completed. Adding this real time updating of the New View would also provide something that would satisfy Enhancement Proposal: Add a temporary magnifier http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-developer/5849-enhancement-proposal-add-a-temporary-magnifier#message26965 A second solution would be to always display the control points of the Unified Transform tool no matter how far in the image was zoomed but this solution (if possible) would have a less broad application than adding the live view (option) to the New View. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Unified transform Tool When Zoomed In
Is there a good reason why the extra view(s) initiated by "View New View" only update on the completion of an operation? From my point of view it would be better if they reflected the active view (or a sub-set or super-set of the it) complete with any on-screen preview or partially completed drawing operation etc. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Inconsistent Behaviour of New View Windows
To quote from the V2.8 on-line documentation for the New View menu command: "Any change, other than viewing changes, which you make in one window also appear in the other displays which show the same image. The new views are not separate image files; they are simply different aspects of the same image. You might use multiple views, for example, if you were working on individual pixels at a high zoom factor. You could then see the effects your changes would have on the image at a normal size." At the moment I think that this really only applies to the airbrush and the colour tools (Levels, Curves, Brightness etc). The paintbrush type tools (pencil, eraser etc) do reflect the changes but only when the mouse button is released (whereas the airbrush shows the line in all of the views as it is being drawn). More importantly the additional views are not updated during transform operations. In fact with the later versions of 2.9.5, in which the active layer is made transparent when the transform tool is activated, the additional views of an image with only one layer all change to the chequerboard pattern - which looks a bit odd and may be the cause of a number of questions/bug reports. Displaying the transform preview in the additional views would conform to the aim stated in the documentation of allowing views of the changes at different magnifications to that used for the active view. In particular it would allow a higher magnification to be used for an additional view to see the effects of the Unified Transform tool - where you can't zoom the active view otherwise the control handles are not visible and all you can do is rotate or move the image. Obviously this isn't a problem for the perspective, shear etc tools as the actions still accessible when zoomed in. Changing the paint tools so that they reflect the changes 'in real time' is trivial - in functions gimp_paint_tool_button_press() and gimp_paint_tool_motion() use the existing gimp_display_flush_now (display) call when the image has only one display (this makes the program more responsive), otherwise use gimp_image_flush(image). Unfortunately, however, I don't have the experience to suggest changes to make the transform preview appear in the additional views - this being by far the more useful change. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Trying a different tack to that noted above I have downloaded glib-networking-2.50-0 and extracted it. I have then used the following commands which all seem to complete successfully: ./configure --without-ca-certificates --prefix=PREFIX --disable-static make make install What else do I need to do to generate the required file for a Windows build of GIMP please? -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Having looked at the GIMP developer mailing list archives I can't say I relish having my email address exposed - I get enough spam as it is. Perhaps I have led a sheltered existence but in over 40 years of earning a living writing and designing software I have never come across an editor (WYSIWYG or plain text) that autonomously removes line breaks. I suppose that I will have to go back to an earlier set of sources or wait until there is a compiled version that uses glib-networking available. >You could subscribe to the original mailing list and use a proper mail >client - the list is set up to allow for plain text only, to keep it >usable for all clients and devices. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Toggle Visibility of two layers
Try the attached script - put it in your personal scripts folder - search the internet for where this folder is depending on the operating system you use. I have only tested the script quickly so if you find any problems let me know. The script should appear in the Layer menu as Toggle Top Layers Visibility I was going to make it toggle the visibility of the specified number of top layers based on the visibility of the top layer but have made it more flexible by inverting their visible flags on a layer by layer basis. Set the visibility of the layers to one of the desired set-ups to start with then use the script. If you aren't using any other scripts then pressing Ctrl F (at least on Windows) will repeat the script and toggle the states of the layers. You can also select the layer that will be active when the top layer is visible and the layer that will be active when it is invisible Hope this helps >Hi Everyone, > >I've been struggling with this for a couple of days and have had no >success finding a practical solution.

Thanks for your reply - I hadn't realised that this change had been added to V2.8 as well as 2.9. I have found the answer to my problem. The make of glib-networking that I did had worked but I had made two mistakes. Firstly I was looking for glib-networking.dll rather than libgiognutls.dll. Secondly although I had tried putting liggiognutls.dll into my prefix lib folder it actually has to go into the prefix\lib\gio\modules folder. At least autogen.sh now completes successfully. It might be clearer if the autogen message referred to libgiognutls (in addition to glib-networking) then at least I wouldn't have spent a while looking for the wrong file. >For what it is worth, everything you wrote seems to show up as >intended >on the mailing list.

I can't see a way of selecting the current tool. If I'm wrong and there is a function call for this and (ideally) an enumeration of the tools for a drop-down selection box then it would be possible. You would have to consider the settings of the selected tools - what if you wanted (for example) the pencil with one radius for when the top layer is visible and a different radius when the top layer isn't visible? I previously noted that you can use Ctrl-F to repeat the script if you are using no other scripts - you can of course assign any script to a keyboard short-cut if you need to use other scripts between calls of the layer toggling script. >Also, one other feature for this would make it even better: the option >to also select which tool is selected upon toggling. > >You've already made something better than I could have asked for, but >if you could add this it'd be perfection. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Inconsistent Behaviour of New View Windows
>BTW, this would have been more suitable for the gimp-developer mailing >list. I'm not a member of the gimp-developer mailing list - perhaps I should join - can I join? There is a speed penalty so it might be as well to add an option to Preferences to allow the user to turn this feature off. But even then the behaviour of the views would not be consistent as the airbrush would (unless modified from its current behaviour) still update the additional views as it is used. Whilst it may be helpful to modify the paint tools in this way my aim was to modify the transform tools so that the preview appears in all views - thereby adding to the usability of the Unified Transform tool. If someone could give me any pointers on how this might be achieved I would be pleased to look further at it. I have only just started looking at the gimp sources and trying to build it on Windows (with some success but I still have a few things to sort out) so I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the program. I had assumed that there would be a single canvas for each image and that all of the views for the image were simply apertures on to this single canvas. So when the canvas had been altered it was simply a case of redisplaying the appropriate portions in the one or more views. Given the speed at which the image viewer I use can switch between two full screen images I was expecting that the generally smaller additional views would not take long to refresh. On a separate matter - when compiling/building gegl and gimp there are numerous warnings displayed (some of these are, I think, only output when building on/for Windows). I could work at eliminating these warnings to allow a clean build if such changes would be welcome. Any warnings that then appear as the result of future changes will then stand out and can be addressed or suppressed as appropriate. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Batch combining multiple open images into one "contact sheet" - a lost script from years ago
You might also be remembering the contactsheet Python script. Download contactsheet-v2.16.py from http://registry.gimp.org/node/120. I have just tried the copy I downloaded some years ago and it now fails but it can be made to work with two simple edits. In the lines that start (PF_DIRNAME change the final parameter from an empty string to "/tmp". This specifies a default directory (which doesn't even have to exist) and prevents the script failing (thanks to this page for the solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40821245/python-fu-fails-on-directory-selection-pf-dirname) To start with I thought that the file names weren't being printed but then noticed that both foreground and background colours were set to white! The script appears as Filters/Batch/Contact Sheet V2.15 (even though it is V2.16) This works in V2.8.22 but in V2.9.6 it fails to recognize WHITE_FILL in the line bklayer.fill(WHITE_FILL) - to fill the background of the contact sheet with the background colour change the line to read bklayer.fill(1). This edit also works in V2.8.22. Is there a defined constant or enum that will work in both versions? Also for some reason the script works MUCH faster in V2.8.22 than it does in V2.9.6 -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

1. To display information in a Python script you can use something like the
following example:
pdb.gimp_message('The times are ' + str(sixteenth_time) + " " +
str(eighth_time) + " " + str(quarter_time)+ " " + str(half_time))
("\n" will give you a newline(note the double quotes in this case))
2. If I remember correctly (its a while since I debugged a Python script) you
just edit and save the script using a text editor and GIMP will then use the
updated version when you next run the script (might be best not to save the
script whilst part way through actually running the script). (For Script-Fu you
also don't need to restart GIMP just use "Filters/Script-Fu/Refresh Scripts"
then wait for a few seconds until the refresh is complete)

>I'm looking for a way to set the auto center for rotation to 53, 672 >instead of the image center. I have 1200 images to process and >reducing even a few keystrokes makes a big difference. tks, S If you are able to build GIMP from source you could edit the following lines in function gimp_rotate_tool_prepare() in gimprotatetool.c/. Change the lines: tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_X] = (gdouble) (tr_tool->x1 + tr_tool->x2) / 2.0; tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_Y] = (gdouble) (tr_tool->y1 + tr_tool->y2) / 2.0; to read: tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_X] = (gdouble) 672; tr_tool->trans_info[PIVOT_Y] = (gdouble) 53; (Ideally the rotate tool would remember the last centre of rotation (at least for the current session of GIMP) and have a button that you could use to reset the centre of rotation to the centre of the image). and when you activate the rotate tool the centre of rotation will be set as you want it. Alternatively Ofnuts suggestion 2) (or a variant of it) would be your best bet.

[Gimp-user] Image Rotation Auto Center
If I'm understanding correctly then you can make the task much easier. Create a script that uses a two point path. The first point of the path to be defined is the centre of rotation (the point that gives the x,y offset by which the image must be moved) and the gradient of the straight line joining the ends of the path gives the rotation that must be made. The script should delete the path before it finishes to save you doing this before processing the next image. Remember that GIMP works in radians not degrees. Whilst, for this application, the script doesn't need to offer user adjustable parameters it might be as well to have parameters for the coordinates of the centre of rotation and the angle (set the default values to 53, 672 and 40 degrees) - at least this would act as an aide memoire and at best it would allow someone to use different values without editing the default values. The work flow would then be: Firstly I would create a folder with copies of all of the images to be modified and use a file renaming program to add _rotated to the end of each file name. Then you will still have the original images and can use the overwrite option - which will cut down on the number of key strokes. Open an image Make sure the path tool is selected (this should stay selected from image to image during the GIMP session) Click where the centre of rotation is to be to define the first point of the path Click to define the angle (the second point of the path) Run the script (for the first image you will have to activate the script and press Enter - for subsequent images just press Ctrl-F) Save the image (File/Overwrite xx) Let me know if you have problems writing a script. The following is more complicated than you need but does show path handling: http://www.programmer97.talktalk.net/Files/arrow.zip Hope this helps. >Got deflected onto another task for a few days.

If this later version gives you the same problem could you list the exact steps that you are using and I will see if I can reproduce the problem.

[Gimp-user] Gimp channel mixer
When I open (I don't see an Import option) a tiff file I don't get asked whether I want to open it as layers. This was a file that I exported as tiff from GIMP. Which program was used to save the tiff file that you are opening? Could it have saved the thumbnail as a separate layer rather than as a thumbnail? If so and this ends up as the active layer it would be the one that the channel mixer altered as noted in your first post. This would agree with you saying that the channel mixer will work on the background if you select it. If the thumbnail is actually a different layer you could simply delete the layer. (I have just checked that when I use Export As to save a jpg as a tiff the advanced option to save the thumbnail is selected but I don't see the same problem when I open the saved file with GIMP.) >The problem is not the channel mixer, if I select background I can use >the channel mixer OK, but the thumbnail is still in the image, my >problem therefore is importing the image properly, why is the image >being imported as two pages? > >Thankyou for replying so quickly earlier, I did not expect to receive >a reply on a Saturday evening, I have been looking at a computer for >too long now, I'm going for a beer, will log on later. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.10 TIFF EXIF metadata stripped on Windows 10
I'm using Windows 7, rather than 10, but i have just imported a JPG and then exported it as a TIFF - the EXIF information was preserved (the focal length tag is an EXIF, rather than TIFF, tag and this was still present). By default the saving of EXIF information should be on but it would be worth checking in the Advanced Options when exporting that this is enabled. If it is you could repeat what I have tried - openJPG, export as TIFF. If the EXIF data is preserved then the problem could be in the importing of the TIFF EXIF data (if you are sure that your original TIFF image does have the EXIF data). If the JPG to TIFF process loses the EXIF data there could be a difference between W7 and W10. If you can narrow down the area of the problem in this way it would be worth filing a bug report. I am using Partha's portable version of 2.10.0 - it might also be worth trying this (you can use it without affecting your other GIMP installation(s)) >I just heard that GIMP 2.10 reads/saves/allows manipulation/exports >EXIF metadata.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.10: bush default size
I have just written a script to set the brush size. Put the script in your personal scripts folder. The first time it is run (each GIMP session) it offers 15 as the default brush size - if you want a different default size just edit the 15 in line 40 to the value of your choice. The script should appear in "Filters/Set Brush Size/Set Brush Size" As I said above pressing Ctrl-F will simply repeat the script and set a new brush to the size last set by the script. Changing Ctrl-F to a single keypress would speed things. (this does assume that you aren't running other scripts in the mean time. If you are you could assign a short-cut to the Set Brush Size script - use the short cut, press Enter and you will have the last brush size that you set. To set a different brush size for the script simply re-run it.

[Gimp-user] Poppler-glib for Windows build
I am trying to build the version of GIMP that requires poppler-glib. I have tried cloning from git git clone https://github.com/danigm/poppler.git I have then changed to the poppler folder and run ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX then ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX When I run make I get errors of the form that cairo_pattern_mesh_set_control_point is undefined and a suggestion that cairo_mesh_pattern_set_control_point be used instead. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Also any information on satisfying the poppler-data requirement.

[Gimp-user] Poppler-glib for Windows build
In case anyone else has similar problems I managed to get poppler-data recognised using the following steps: Download file poppler-data-0.4.8.tar.gz from https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ Unzip the file into folder poppler-data Move the unzipped files back into poppler-data make install -j4 $PREFIX Then copy msys64\usr\local\share\pkgconfig\poppler-data.pc to msys64\home\\prefix\lib\pkgconfig\poppler-data.pc GIMP then build successfully. There were two fatal errors when I ran GIMP for the first time relating to not finding entry points in libgobject-2.0-0.dll and libgmodule-2.0-0.dll. Copying later (although considerably smaller files) from Partha's 2.9.8/9 installation resolved the problem (thanks Partha - I hope you don't mind) I have successfully used to GIMP to open a password protected PDF file (one page only) so I am assuming that the poppler code is functional. >OK, I finally found the way to make the package manager think that it >had V2.24.31 - files gtk+-2.0.pc and gtk+-win32-2.0.pc in folder >msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig had to be edited. > >That just leaves the problem of how to get poppler-data recognised -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.10 Toggle between image window and toolbox
In V2.8.xx it was possible (on Windows at any rate) to toggle between the image window and the toolbox by simply pressing the Tab key. This made using multi-window views easier when using a single monitor. In V2.10 with the image window displayed (the toolbox hidden behind it) pressing Tab just causes the Toolbox button to appear or disappear in the taskbar. If the toolbox is in front of the image window pressing Tab simply steps through the options/fields in the toolbox.

>I guess likewise also need a way of rotating without having to drag >outside the edge. That would need a rotator modifier key or tool. The problem with rotating is that centre of rotation could be well outside the viewed area of the image. What would make life a lot easier is if the Unified Transform tool would update any additional views of the image (View/New View) that were open. You could then use the tool on a view that showed the whole image (so that all the control points/handles were available) and have an additional view (or views) zoomed in so that you could see the effect of the changes on the part(s) of the image that you were interested in. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

>I'm not sure what you mean. The centre of rotation is wherever you >drag the pivot to. That is a known quantity. What I meant was that if the centre of rotation is not within the view that is being manipulated then the direction of rotation may not be readily apparent. For instance dragging the mouse pointer upwards would result in a clockwise rotation if the centre of rotation is to the right of the current view but anti-clockwise if it was to the left of the current view. I'm sure that that problem could be overcome (some indication of where the centre of rotation lies) - the real issue is that the unified transform tool (which is brilliant as far as it goes) would be made much more useful if you could use extra views to look at magnified sections of the image that the UT tool was acting on in the main view. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] IImprovements to unified transform
The functionality displayed in the video is impressive but, if I understand it
correctly, the Readjust button repositions all of the handles (including the
centre of rotation) within the current visible area.
This doesn't get around the pain of having to zoom in to see the results of a
transformation and then zoom back out to continue dragging the handles or
rotating (without changing the centre of rotation).
What would be really useful is if the effects of the UT tool were visible on all
of the opened views of the image - the UT tool could then be used on a zoomed
out view whilst one or more zoomed in windows could be used to check the effect
in detail.
Would it be possible to include an option for doing this whilst you are working
on this section of the code?
