There hasn't been as much time to find bugs in 2.6.4 as there has been to find bugs in 2.4.x. I apologize for overstating; I should have said "still potentially buggy" instead of "still somewhat buggy". I love 2.6; I like the UI redesign; upgrading Gimp was what motivated me to upgrade my Ubuntu installation. But it does represent a significant change from 2.4, so I think caution is understandable at this stage. That's all I was saying. I did not intend to cast aspersions on the 2.6 line. -- Mark J.

Perhaps you back up your point by pointing out particular bugs in GIMP 2.6.4 that are not in GIMP 2.4 ?

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp_file_load_layer(s) not found
Thanks, Mark, for a thoughtful reply. You are right about CentOS. Those who want latest-and-greatest use Fedora. CentOS is designed for stability. I read that somewhere. :-) A couple of missing functions didn't offend me and I got around them. The saving to .psd issue - well, that's more irritating - but I was able to get people who need to use the output to install Gimp. The primary output I am generating is, of course, the actual image files, Jpegs. > If you're trying to do programmed image manipulation from a web app, > the Gimp might not be the best choice. Have you considered > alternatives? Perhaps ImageMagick? > Yes, I've been using ImageMagick for a long time. In this particular case, I was excited to try out Gimp because it enables me to manipulate psd files & layers. What I wound up coming up with is so beautiful, it hurts. I am truly grateful for the existence of Gimp API in the end. I am tempted to pollute the list by telling you all about the neat idea. But that's what happens as you get wiser - you learn to resist your temptations. Yes, even on the internet! Thanks everyone again! Especially Mark.

Gimp 2.6 is less than a year old and still somewhat buggy. I can see people trying to maintain a stable platform not wanting to jump to it yet. Especially for a desktop app in what is primarily a server distro. Also, CentOS is designed to track Red Hat, so it's probably the RH folks making the call. > You should ask them to include a current release of > GIMP.

Perhaps, but reinstalling Linux is a lot scarier than upgrading a few packages or even upgrading to a new version of the same distro. If you're trying to do programmed image manipulation from a web app, the Gimp might not be the best choice. Have you considered alternatives? Perhaps ImageMagick? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You should ask them to include a current release of GIMP. If they don't want to do that, it might be worth changing to distro that provides more current versions of software. -- Cheers!

Kind of like never occurred to me (until everything broke) that `cpan install Gimp` gets you a version, which was superceded in 2004! Has anyone noticed the Gimp disaster on CPAN I am referring to?

Should I give up or is there a reason it might be failing? (These are
the only missing functions so far!)
GIMP version 2.2.13
Gimp.pm 2.0
Here is how i use it:
use Gimp qw(:auto );\\sub layer{
my $img = gimp_file_load(RUN_NONINTERACTIVE, $product, $product);
my $lay = gimp_file_load_layers(RUN_NONINTERACTIVE, $img, $artist);
gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size($lay);
};
Gimp::on_net(\&layer);
exit main();
In by browser it says gimp-file-load-layers , gimp-file-load , and
gimp-layer-resize-to-image-size
Not sure what you mean - that I should be using dashes? I understand,
you always replace those with underscores as dash is not a valid
character for function names.
Do you really have those two \\ in there
LOL... Of course not! Happened as a result of copy/paste/something for
the email itself!. :-)
