"Zoom>Fit Image to Window" is great except for:
If you zoom a portrait image; how can you start a selection at the top of image
without grabbing a guide bar?

We just need a small canvas padding to fix this.

Else I'm back to:

That would require the GIMP to 'phone home' over the network, to find
out what the latest official release is.  I would suggest a button that
says "check for updates" and on click, opens the system default web
browser at the appropriate address.  That seems relatively simple option.

On Linux systems, the package manger already announces the availability
of patches and upgrades to the user - so, no need for notifications
inside applications.  On any platform, programs that do not need network
connections should not have them, as they present potential privacy and
security exposures.

Re: [Gimp-user] Suggestion for opening raw images

2019-01-31 Thread Tobias Jakobs via gimp-user-list
Hi Rick,

as Guy already wrote, Gimp 2.8 only supports 8-bit. Gimp 2.10 supports
16-bit as internal format and in the raw loader. And perhaps you are
interested, Gimp 2.10 has support for the HGT file format, gathered by
the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). I blogged about it here:
https://dablogter.blogspot.com/2018/01/gimp-now-supports-hgt-file-format.html

And I have an blogpost how to import the NOAA GLOBE elevation files here:
https://dablogter.blogspot.com/2018/09/howto-open-elevation-data-from-noaa.html

What is missing is import of 32-bit float values in the "Load Image
From Raw Data"-plugin. I opened a feature for that:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/2804

Do you have a link to one of thePDS images?

Regards,
Tobias

Rick,

GIMP 2.8.x is 8-bit not 16-bit capable. To get 16-bit capability you 
need the new 2.10.x version. That's what I have and it does, in that 
dialog, have options for bit-depth (including Endian options).

Re: [Gimp-user] Suggestion for dialog displayed on Gimp exit

2016-04-06 Thread Richard
Short answer: This dialog is used because there may potentially be more than 
one image open with unsaved changes.

Long answer: First, a few questions...

1 - Are you running GIMP in single-window mode or not?
2 - How many image windows did you have open?
3 - What command/shortcut did you use to close the window and/or exit GIMP?

Because here's the scenarios that may be in play:

1 - If you are simply closing the window, then in single-window mode this is 
interpreted as exiting GIMP entirely while in multiple-window mode it is 
interpreted as closing only that window (not exiting GIMP).
2 - In multiple window mode, when you close the last open image GIMP does not 
exit at this time but instead leaves behind an empty placeholder window (in 
case you need to open a new image, etc.).  You have to close the empty window 
to actually exit GIMP.  
3 - If you have multiple image windows open and you try to close all windows 
and/or exit GIMP, there may be more than one image open with unsaved changes.  
This is why the particular dialog shows a list of open images and only has 
choices to discard all changes or cancel.

However, I do agree that the current logic is flawed and needs discussion -- 
the following points in particular:

- In single-window mode, multiple images are displayed as a row of tabs 
(comparable to Internet browsers); however, when only one image is open the tab 
bar is not shown -- leaving the user without a VISIBLE button to close only 
that window (because hitting the standard Close button will exit GIMP 
entirely).  Yes there is the menu command and the keyboard shortcuts work, but 
this is the touchscreen era.  Other applications handle this scenario in 
various ways -- e.g. Firefox always displays the tab bar even when only one tab 
is open, Office displays a secondary Close button on the right side of the 
menubar (distinct from the window's main Close button).

- When only one image is open, regardless of whether the user is closing the 
window or exiting GIMP, GIMP should ALWAYS use the single-image version of the 
"unsaved changes" prompt (i.e. save/discard/cancel) instead of the 
multiple-images version (list of images, discard/cancel).

- The multiple-images version of the "unsaved changes" prompt should include, 
in its list of open images, buttons to save the individual images directly from 
this prompt.

[Gimp-user] Suggestion for dialog displayed on Gimp exit

2016-04-05 Thread RrnR
I can't seem to find anywhere specifically for suggestions/improvements to Gimp,
and GimpTalk seems to be pretty much inactive so here I am:

When I make a change to a .XCF project and go to close Gimp after forgetting the
save the file, I see the dialog in the (hopefully) posted Image.

There are three buttons: "Help", "Discard changes" and "Cancel"

Now, 9 times out of 10 when I get this, the thing I want to do is save the file.
Why is there no "Save" button on this dialog? The accepted standard for this
scenario is a dialog with "Save", "Don't Save" and "Cancel" buttons and for me,
this covers all the bases.

maderios -
Now, talking seriously - this subject has come, and come again in this list for
months if not years.
The answer for a second officially maintained GIMP changing just this
small behavior
is plain "No" as in "no" - niet, nada, zip, nil, não
This won't be done!

Just stop writing along these lines before everyone around  ignores your e-mail

Check Akana's plug-ins for automatically exporting/not asking for
closing confirmation -
come up with ideas for plug-ins that could ease the workflow for multiple simple
edits, like most people seem to want (which would be moving forward,
not backwards)
Bind "ctrl + s" to "File/Export" or whatever please you.

As for an unofficial fork keeping the old behavior, as far as I know
someone had done that,
and justa s every serious reply to you mentioned would happen: it just
rotted away, unmaintained.

+1. You hit the nail right on the head - we're mostly volunteers,
doing it in our limited spare time. And the one who is working by

However, I know better than to waste more energy on the subject.

Let's not forget: GIMP has a plug-in architecture. This means you
can remove and add plug-ins to make GIMP fit your needs and personal
preferences.
The plug-in registry* has a bunch of plug-ins and there are projects
like FX-Foundry* or G'Mic*. And in the whole, long discussion on
the Save./.Export-behaviour some plug-ins were mentioned to solve this
problem for the users who don't like or can't stay with the new
behaviour. From this point of view I don't think we need many separate 
versions.

Hi
This positive proposal could end the eternal discussion "save vs. 
export", etc 

Developers could offer two versions of Gimp:
- One version for amateurs with the gimp 2.8 behavior
- One version for professionals with the gimp 2.6 behavior that allows 
to save files quickly and normally just like most free or commercial 
editors images.

This would allow everyone to be satisfied
Greetings


that's sensless
it is like it is and this is not a perfect world, so never ever everyone 
could be satisfied

this whole discussion about save, export and so on is only a wasting of time
so stop that and do what GIMP is for - (GNU) IMAGE MANIPULATION (PROGRAMM)

I'm just a user, and do not speak for anybody other than myself, but...

Your approach would mean maintaining *two* different programs which 
would continue to diverge over time.  I very much doubt that "the 
developers" have the energy to do that -- sometimes it seems that they 
don't have enough energy to do all that they would like with just one 
version.


It seems to me that "the developer's" point of view is that amateurs 
should use a simpler program and not use Gimp at all.


This is open-source software.  You are welcome to become a developer, 
fork the project, and do all this yourself or you can build a team to do 
it.  Or you can hire people to do it for you.  But asking the developers 
-- all volunteers -- to increase their workload (the divergence would 
keep widening over time) is not how things work in open-source software 
as I understand it.


If my vote counted (which it does not because I am not in the "target 
user group"), I would vote against this export requirement also. 
However, I know better than to waste more energy on the subject.

Except for developers who would have to maintain two versions. But who
cares about them, eh?

You try to satisfy everybody nobody ends up satisfied.  If enough people 
want it, they can fork it.
