Re: [Gimp-user] File Open Location - No such file or directory
Hi Akkana, gimp-users, GIMP 2.6.3. It's the last rpm that was available for OpenSuSE 10.3. As to how it was compiled. Um, don't know. Can I view compiled options somewhere in Gimp interface or console command? KDE is my desktop, but I run a lot of GNome apps. Cause errors? By that do you mean the Gimp message box? I do get the GIMP message box, but it doesn't say how it was going to be done, just that it couldn't find it. It says: + GIMP Message Opening 'http://gif' failed: Could not open 'http//gif' for reading: No such file or directory. + I guess I should find out how Gimp is compiled for OpenSuSE :-) If Gimp knows the app that is failing, it would be helpful to the end user if it was included in the message ;-) Thank you. DJ DJ writes: Whenever I have used File Open Location, I've gotten an error. I thought I'd revisit it again while going through a tutorial on blending modes. I got the same error, No such file or directory. Yet, I can right-click and Save Image As with no problem. I got the url by right-clicking and Copy Image Location. I searched, but did not see anything. You don't mention what platform you're on, or what version of GIMP or where you got it. But GIMP has several different ways of opening remote files -- gvfs, gnome-vfs, libcurl, wget -- and if your gimp is compiled to use a method you don't have, that'll cause errors. The choice is made at compile time; the runtime code doesn't fall back to use other methods if the preferred method fails. For instance, Ubuntu's GIMP is compiled to need gvfs, so if you don't have that installed (for instance, if you're running Xubuntu or some other window manager instead of a Gnome desktop) then Open Location or dragging from a browser probably won't work unless you build your own gimp with --without-gvfs. ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi Gimp-user, Whenever I have used File Open Location, I've gotten an error. I thought I'd revisit it again while going through a tutorial on blending modes. I got the same error, No such file or directory. Yet, I can right-click and Save Image As with no problem. I got the url by right-clicking and Copy Image Location.

Re: [Gimp-user] file open with gimp 2.2.4 and AFS
is there a way to avoid that the whole file tree is accessed upon 'file open'? Running gimp on a unix machine with AFS client contacts every AFS cell around the world. That lasts 15 minutes for a simple file open! So I am looking for a gimmick at least to avoid access to path /afs. I think the same problems can occur with nfs mounted file systems. Before that I operated with gimp 2.0.3 where only the path was scanned where gimp was started. This worked fine. File a bug against gtk+. The old filesel special cased /afs and /net, the new one doesn't appear to. I think this is not the fact. If I compile gtk+-2.4.14/examples/filesel/filesel.c this program works fast and fine. There you have a pulldown menu which contains the cwd and all supaths. But without inspecting them until I select them! On the other hand the 'open file' of gimp 2.2.4 offers one clickable button per subpath. And as I see on the console these subpaths are inspected. That is absolutely nonsens. So if some of you can tell me where is the source file I can change I will do. Thanks for help!

Re: [Gimp-user] file open with gimp 2.2.4 and AFS
Hi, I think this is not the fact. If I compile gtk+-2.4.14/examples/filesel/filesel.c That is the old file-selection widget, not what GIMP 2.2 is using. Please follow Yosh's advice and file a bug-report against the GtkFileChooser widget.

The fact that the dialogs look *completely* different, as you noticed, should've been a tip off that you were testing different things. So if some of you can tell me where is the source file I can change I will do. If you feel like trying to fix it yourself, start with gtkfilesystemunix.c. There isn't any special casing infastructure there though, so if you were hoping for a one-line change, it's going to be more work than that. -Yosh ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] File Open dialog?

[Gimp-user] File Open dialog?
Hi everyone! I know that this probably isn't the right place to discuss this, but I'll ask in the hopes that someone will point me in the right direction. Which developer list would be appropriate for such an email? I am well aware that the new file open dialog has been a topic of contentious debate, and my goal isn't to arouse people's tempers. I like neither the new (GIMP 2.2) nor the old (GIMP 2.0) file open dialog; neither offers much flexibility. After looking at the dialog in jEdit (www.jedit.org), it is obvious what features are lacking. It combines the best features of a GUI and a bash shell: Like a GUI, it always shows which files are in the current directory. Like a GUI, it allows directories to be added to favorites -- so it doesn't take 250 years to get to a frequently used directory that isn't close to programs/gimp/2.0/bin. Like a bash shell (or whatever shell you folks use), it has a text input for file names that allows tab completion. Furthermore, typing part of a directory name in the current directory and hitting / takes you into that directory. Typing ../ takes you up a directory, as is logical. The filename which would be expanded if tab were pressed is always highlighted; hitting Enter when the correct filename is highlighted opens that file. I have two questions: 1) Would people like a file open dialog incorporating the above features? 2) With the above features as part of a requirement, how difficult would it be to program such a dialog? I have been programming for upwards of five years and am currently learning GTK, but I have never programmed such a dialog before. I want to see if it is something that I, given my current skill set, could do. Best regards, Matt

The files chooser has already got more features in GTK+ 2.6. Maybe you should check them out. 2) With the above features as part of a requirement, how difficult would it be to program such a dialog?
