[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.x Layers-Channels-Paths not showing layer previews

2011-03-19 Thread Charlie De
Hello all,


My first post here - I've run into a strange problem and can't find an answer. 
Using Ubuntu 10.04, after some recent system updates, the Layers-Channels-Paths 
window no longer updates when a file is opened, the Layers area is empty, not 
showing a preview of the image. If I close and re-open the L-C-P window, then 
the layer preview of the image shows as normal, and the window as a whole works 
as expected.

I've tried everything I could think of to trace the source of the problem, to 
no 
avail. I think it must be caused by something that got recently updated in the 
system, but I haven't been able to find it. Initially I noticed the problem 
with 
Gimp 2.6.10 that I had compiled from source myself. I deleted it and installed 
2.6.8 from the repositories, but the problem persists. I then went through 
"apt" 
and "dpkg" logs, looking for system components that had recently been updated 
and downgraded many of them, again to no avail.

My internet searches revealed a thread at Ubuntu forums a couple of years ago 
where someone had the exact same problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 to 
8.10. The poster found no solution, but managed to solve the problem by 
installing 8.04 again. I think this is what I'm basically facing, having to 
re-install a clean 10.04. But I think there must be just one system library 
that 
I haven't tracked down that's responsible for this problem. Would anyone here 
have any idea which system library may be causing the problem?

It's a long shot, but worth asking. Thanks in advance.

Charlie

There is no such plug-in and there never will be one.

You are free to patch GIMP though:

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 toolbox

2011-01-15 Thread Pax294
Recently I decided to add the resynthesizer-0.16 plugin to my copy of the Gimp 
and realized I did not have the latest version of the Gimp so I upgraded to the 
current (stable) 2.6 version. After installing, the first thing I noticed was 
the lack of a menu bar on top of the tool bar and an intrusive new gimp image 
window with the missing menu bar on it. I've read plenty of posts about why 
this was done but I was wondering if there was a plugin available to return the 
menu bar to the tool bar and not have to have the other image window open. I 
went back a year or so and it seems as though there were plenty of other users 
wondering the same. 

I do not want to relaod an old version to get that feature back. I prefer to 
keep the toolbar tight to the right of my desktop and I also prefer to load my 
images through the menu process verses the 'drag & drop' method. 

Is there a helpful solution?

Why exactly do you want to turn it off? If you don't need it, then don't
use it. What's the point of adding yet another option?

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6's Clipboard Brush - disable possible?

2010-09-22 Thread SilversleevesX
Hi.

This is my first post to the list.

I wanted to know if it were possible to disable the Clipboard Brush 
feature in GIMP 2.6?

Frankly, I think a better direction for something copied or cut to the 
Clipboard would be to Patterns, not Brushes. As a longtime Photoshop 
user (4 versions on Mac OS, two on Windows), I've no doubt that the 
minor hassle of turning tweensy picture X.jpeg into a pattern will be 
something I'll remember to my dying day. If an intuitive shortcut should 
be applied to clipboard/pasteboard data in a graphics app, patterns seem 
to me the more useful of the two directions.

Much of the to-clip and from-clip activity I do is whole pictures, and 
whether scaled or not, color-depth-reduced or not, a brush with 
something 640x...@24 on it/to it, while it would make for a nice 
diversion or "toy" or plug-in, doesn't quite rate with me as the new 
bleeding-edge feature of as well-known a freeware graphics application 
program as is the GIMP.

I presume the developers went this way because to "take it to patterns" 
might have meant a re-think of the pattern-making and -reading code, and 
there probably wasn't time or incentive enough for that: this seemed the 
more expedient option and so it was done. Fine. Let the user have the 
option of "turning it off," then, if such an option is not already 
present in version 2.6.

So is it?

BZT.

This should never be necessary, and future versions of GIMP will have
manifest which will override these settings. I am unable to reproduce the
original problem on a fully patched 32bit Vista SP2.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 download for Ubuntu

There are no (official) GIMP repositories, and it's not intented that Ubuntu
8.04 repos contain newer software than available at 8.04 release (except
security and critical updates). If you need newer software versions, upgrade
to 8.10 which contains GIMP 2.6.1.

Or manually install GIMP 2.6 for Ubuntu 8.04:
http://www.gimpusers.com/news/2008-10-07/compile-gimp-260-for-ubuntu-804.html

Or use ready-to-go .deb packages for GIMP 2.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, if you can find
them.

When you do a normal upgrade, you shouldn't loose anything.

Hi,

IIRC, in one or more earlier posts to this list, the Gimp people said
that 2.6 would have enhanced color support (CYMK, etc???) and
non-destructive layer work functionality, etc. Has this been
implemented in 2.6? I downloaded the latest version of Gimp for
Windows on an office machine and was surprised to see that it was 2.6.
So, that's why I am anxious to know about these much-asked-for
features.

I am using Autohotkey to fix this behaviour (and a lot of other custom
tasks).

What the code below does is to map the tab key to set the focus on the main
window before actually "tabbing".

The drawback is that in some windows like "New image", tab hides it too, so I
have to hit Ctrl-tab instead if I want to move between fields.

This is not a true fix (it requires *Autohotkey*), but does the job.

; BEGIN CODE

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
SetKeyDelay, 0

#IfWinActive,  ahk_class gdkWindowToplevel
{
tab::
ControlFocus, gdkWindowChild2, GNU Image Manipulation Program
ControlFocus, gdkWindowChild2, GIMP
send, {tab}
return
}
; END CODE

It should work just fine with GIMP 2.6, even without recompiling it. But
it looks like your plug-in picks up an old version of the GIMP
libraries. Do you perhaps still have gimp-2.4 installed somewhere?

Bettina asks...

Hi Sterling,

could you please mention on which platforms your these options work?
E.g.number 2. don't works on Mac neither on Windows XP (in my case).

thank you tina


Reply to Bettina...


Hello Tina,

Number 1. should be work on any platform, since the windows never need to
overlap. You might want to adjust the GIMP settings under
"Edit-Preferences-Image Windows-Zoom and Resize Behaviour" to kep the imag
window where you want it.
---   ---   ---  ---  ---  ---   ---
Number 2. takes more explanation, even though it is the default behaviour in
GIMP 2.6.

First, look at the options in "Edit-Preferences-Windows Management-Hint for
the toolbox/Hint for other docks". Each 'hint' box has three options:

   Normal Window-- Means the toolbox or dock can be over or under the image
window and shows up in the Windows 'Taskbar' (in other operating systems may
be called 'Panel' or 'Dock').

   Utility Window-- Toolbox/dock stays over the image window and does not
appear in the taskbar.

   Keep On Top-- Toolbox/dock stays over image window and does appear in the
taskbar.

GIMP 2.6 by default has the toolbox and docks set to be Utility Windows. The
Tab key's function of showing or hiding the toolbox and docks is built into
GIMP and cannot be changed without going into the source code. A regular GIMP
user cannot change it. The problem Mario pointed out in an earlier post is
that once the toolbox has got 'focus', the Tab key switches from one tool to
the next. You have to click-on the image window or the dock to take the focus
away from the toolbox for the tab key to act like we want it to, and hide the
toolbox and docks.
---   ---   ---  ---  ---  ---   ---
Number 3. has the toolbox and docks set to be Normal Windows. 

Movement of the mouse is used to activate and raise the desired window. In
Ubuntu 8.04 that mouse behaviour is set under "System-Preferences-Windows". In
Windows XP it is set in TweakUI under a tab labelled 'Mouse'. If you do not
already have TweakUI, it is a free download from Microsoft. My version shows
up as a Control Panel item. I think the newer version shows up in your
Programs list.
I do not know how to do these things on a Mac. Anyone else know?

If you use the mouse this way, you need to watch out for two things: 1) Keep
the delay long enough so that you can move the mouse to a newly opened window
without covering that window with some previous one. 2) Only open about half a
dozen windows at once. If you have too many, they will cover each other and
make it difficult to find the ones underneath. If you have multiple desktops
(like Linux OS's have) use one desktop for GIMP and run other stuff
elsewhere.
---   ---   ---  ---  ---  ---   ---
I know this was a long explanation, but I hope it was also useful.

There seems to be a lot of controversy, and some VERY strong opinions, about
how the GIMP user interface should behave. Three popular options are:
1) Keep the Toolbox and Docks next to, and NOT overlapping, the image window.
Good for big, wide monitors. The behaviour is then very much like a
single-window application.
2) Keep the Toolbox and Docks over the image window. Use Tab key to hide or
to show the Toolbox and Docks.
3) Set the mouse to activate and raise windows, and set the Toolbox and Docks
to go either above or below the image window. Then a quick movement of the
mouse brings up whichever window is desired.

It is a credit to the GIMP designers that it is so easy to customize the
interface-- thank you! Users just need to be told about it early in their GIMP
experience.

I submit that the best solution may be to add a splash screen when GIMP is
first used, explaining those options and how to set them. Or perhaps such an
explanation should be put in the Help menu or in the "Tips of the Day". Much
better tu customize early-on than to argue over how it "should" be!

No, it is not a shortcut in that sense. It can't be reconfigured by the
user.

I had this problem too and tried to change the shortcut to F12, like it is in
Inkscape, but I was not able to find it in the keyboard settings.
Is it at all possible to change the shortcut for this function?

Yes, but when the focus is on the toolbox window, the Tab key moves 
between tools, I had to click again on the image window and then use the 
Tab key.
Is there anything simpler. And yes, I like (almost) the new behaviour. 
At least you do not lose the toolbox when work full screen.
Thanks!

You can hide/unhide the tools and docks as needed by using the Tab key.

In previous versions these windows were able to be underneath a 
large image on a small screen. The new layout in 2.6 diminishes ease

Yeah, I can do that.

This would make it easier for users to find the recent packages of Gimp 2.6.x

sorry for the pain with the current situation of Gimp on Macs. It's a pitty
that it just came to this situation. I don't want to recall the discussions on
wilber-loves-apple, but as I'm one of the developers who did most of the

As I never wanted to take over the lead role in providing packages in the
first place, the page started as a small site, documenting my efforts. Now, as
WLA seems to be down, I'll try to translate the pages. I can drop you a line

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.x for Mac OS X released

2008-10-13 Thread Lydia
The Mac release of Gimp 2.6.1 at lisanet.de has exceeded my expectations thus
far.  2.6.0 was rough in comparison on my machine, with many buttons
inaccessible and features unavailable.  I am running Leopard on a MacBook Pro
and this release runs much, much faster and cleaner on my laptop then Gimp 2.4
did on a good day.  Text rendering is more streamlined and filters are
definitely running fast and smooth.  I will continue exploring the new
features and will comment if any troubles arise.

it's a pain if the Mac OS X support team changes the website and the
download URLs every once in a while. It would be really nice if the
Apple users could get their act together and provide a single place that

We can't even link to your website as it seems to only provide

LOL, I only wish.

The last few weeks the ChangeLog has shown mainly a lot of cleaning up
and minor bugfixes -- the usual thing that happens when winding up to
a release.
