Re: [Gimp-user] Stuck in Brightness/Contrast Loop, etc.
outlier opinion tangent: Tools which are accessed primarily via menu, and operate through a pop-up dialog box instead of on-canvas interaction, should not even be using the tools class. It is counter-intuitive to the new user that any dialog box -based operation has lingering side effects on their session after the operation has concluded. (compare plug-ins and scripts) Agreed -- I've struggled to understand why e.g. Brightness/Contrast, which has no tool options anyway, opens a "tool options" mode in the tool box just so one can repeat it by clicking on the canvas. Doesn't seem useful, and is obviously confusing to new users. Perhaps it should follow the settings in prefs -> Interface -> Toolbox -> Tools Configuration. ___ 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

Re: [Gimp-user] Stuck?
It sounds like your ALT key is stuck down ..that would have that effect. Try hitting the ALT key a few times and then also the ALT GR key (on right side of the spacebar).

Buy more memory if necessary. If not... see if you can open other files with other gnome programs such as gedit. Most likely causes - . your hard drive is failing . there's a network file system mount that isn't responding . gimp has arthritis. Massage some celadrin, glucosamin sulphate and some IP6 onto the soles of its feet. :-) . run gimp under strace or under gdb and see what it's waiting for. This generally requires some technical systems knowledge to interpret the output. . be *much* more specific about "it goes into a brown study". Is the study carpeted? Are there leather-bound books? Does the file chooser window appear or not? If it appears what does it look like? Are we to read your mind? Does it make a difference what colour socks you are wearing? Was your system previously on a network? Are any file systems full or nearly full? Are you running any other programs or services? It's pretty hard to support software this old (it was released in 2004), and you must be prepared to give a LOT of information.

Any clues > how to get it going again? > GIMP 2.2 is ancient history. GIMP 2.4.x, GIMP 2.6.x and GIMP 2.8.x were released since then (and the GIMP project was criticised for having a long release schedule). I don't think it's still supported and I would imagine your Fedora version to be very old too. You really should upgrade, because you are risking much graver problems than GIMP getting stuck in the file dialogue (among them getting a huge security risk exploited and your system compromised). See: http://szabgab.com/what-does--if-it-aint-broke-dont-fix-it--really-mean.html Otherwise, if you're not going to upgrade, then I personally refuse to help you any further from the reasons that for all I know it could be a problem in your old and unsupported set up.
