Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP
Thanks. A little more info. If I cd to the bin directory and run gimp-2.8.exe -v I see the following: GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.0-RC1 git-describe: Unknown, shouldn't happen using GEGL version 0.2.0 (compiled against version 0.2.0) using GLib version 2.30.2 (compiled against version 2.30.2) using GdkPixbuf version 2.24.1 (compiled against version 2.24.1) using GTK+ version 2.24.10 (compiled against version 2.24.10) using Pango version 1.29.4 (compiled against version 1.29.4) using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0) using Cairo version 1.10.2 (compiled against version 1.10.2) (Type any character to close this window) Unfortunately, I haven't got a C debugging environment, so I'm kinda hamstrung. BTW, this is on an amd athlon xp, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. Is the git-describe line the point where it's exiting, or is that just information and it should continue executing?

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP
The problem appears to be unrelated to ufraw. I've removed all versions/relics of gimp and ufraw that I can find: uninstall, plus remove directories remove registry entries reboot Are there particular .dlls or anything else I need to remove that the uninstall process might leave around that would cause trouble, such as .dlls? I've searched specifically for bzip2.dll, and there is a copy associated with another program in a program-specific directory (\Program Files\EASEUS) unrelated to gimp. When I run the install (using normal install, although custom fails as well), it appears to install correctly. However: It does not create a desktop shortcut (Should it, in the default install?) It creates only a single entry in the start menu, labelled "GIMP 2". In particular, no subitems, such as uninstall (should it?) A possible issue -- this is running booted from an "F:" drive, with no "C:" or "D:" drive on the machine. Reinstalling GIMP 2.7.5 works fine: creates a desktop shortcut creates a start menu item with three subitems Gimp-2.7.5, Uninstall, Website loads and runs fine I don't know how closely the 2.8 rc1 install should mirror 2.7.5 Thanks for any insights...

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP
That's a separate topic, but ... I'm trying to update and expand a script-fu that I created years ago in GIMP 2.4, and after several iterations of test/tweak/refresh scripts, 2.8.0-RC1 just up and crashes. By now, it's also my first script-fu that actually needs to query what version of GIMP it's running on before operating (I wish I was making that up). -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. > Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:42:59 -0400 > From: ke...@ve3syb.ca > To: strata_ran...@hotmail.com > Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP > > On 12-04-26 10:48 AM, Richard Gitschlag wrote: > > Win32 installer worked perfectly for me, the only problems I've had so > > far seem to be related to reloading Script-Fu scripts from inside GIMP. > > What issue have you had related to reloading Script-Fu scripts from inside > GIMP? > > -- > Cheers! > > Kevin. > > http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"Nerds make the shiny things that distract > Owner of Elecraft K2 #2172 | the mouth-breathers, and that's why we're > | powerful!" > #include | --Chris Hardwick ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP
Has anyone gotten the windoze installer version of 2.8.0-rc1 to work properly? I've been running 2.7.5 for a while but when I tried installing the 2.8 rc1 I'm having problems.
