[Gimp-user] two questions
1- is there a way to make the guides visible outside the canvas area? - i.e. outside the non-visible canvas area for example: I have an '800x23' image and I want to drag out 'vertical' guides - but since the area is only 23 px tall the guides are very hard to see without a lot of zooming and scrolling around on a 15" laptop display FWIW: Photoshop allows you to see the guides off the canvas and this comes in very handy at times 2- is there a script-fu script that will take an image/layer and chop it into table form for example: I have a 100x100 image that I want to chop into 4 pieces, each being 50x50 then export all four of them in jpg/gif/png format I then want to take these pieces and insert each one in a 2x2 table so they line up as a contiguous image - is there a script-fu anyone knows about that does this? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Because it's cleaner and more uniform throughout (and from computer to computer, window manager to window manager) to let he program handle it. And yes, I can't imagine it would be hard to make selectable. But for a PhotoPaint poweruser, who is used to a much better UI than even PhotoShop because of the way it handles its MDI interface, it should be considered. PhotoShop doesn't do MDI/toolbar usage justice. PhotoPaint does. The other point regarding this is that desktop managers are becoming ever more popular on UNIX. The icons seeping through between my dialogs is quite distracting.

This is just fine. I have used Gimp on its own desktop, and it was better. Again, I don't like the fact that alt-tab would select the individual windows (I know, wm); I think it would be great if it could be made so that the GIMP "mother-window" would take care of its children for me. :) > When you talk about each window "show[ing] up in the task list when > alt-tabbing", that would be a function of your window manager (or are > you running under "Windows"?). You may be able to configure your WM > to be more helpful (e.g. by dropping some window names from the list). No, no, this is Gnome2 with Metacity. As I was typing that last eMail, I did consider that possibility of hiding windows. This would work great with some wm's, but Metacity doesn't do that (to the best of my knowledge). Again, going back to the uniform design concept, this would ideally be controlled by the gimp, and not the window manager. Note how both PhotoShop and PhotoPaint have their own dock design with smaller title bars and custom roll-up buttons, not relying on Windows' (lacking) window manager. > BTW, my comments are based on experience with 1.2.x - can't comment on 1.3. In terms of window handling, 1.3 is the same as 1.2. I was kind of hoping this would change somewhere along the way. --Pat ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If a single-window interface was available, it should be selectable. The multi-window interface is one of the things I love about the Gimp. I already have a window manager running which can take care of them, so why not use it? I'm one of those people who use virtual workspaces (10 of them in fact). I often have Gimp windows clustered in one workspace, but it's useful to have Gimp windows pop up in other workspaces and in fact sometimes I have Gimp windows appearing in multiple workspaces. When you talk about each window "show[ing] up in the task list when alt-tabbing", that would be a function of your window manager (or are you running under "Windows"?). You may be able to configure your WM to be more helpful (e.g. by dropping some window names from the list). BTW, my comments are based on experience with 1.2.x - can't comment on 1.3.

[Gimp-user] Two Questions...
Hello, I've been using GIMP for a while now, and I'm starting to liken to the 1.3.x line. I have two questions that people here may be capable of answering: 1) When will 1.3 be put into stable? 2) Has anyone ever considered making GIMP into a single-window interface with MDI and children windows? An annoyance of GIMP is how it takes so many windows and shows up in the task list when alt-tabbing. Thanks in advance! --Pat ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
