and dont bother with gimp-1.2. and there is something wrong with a test environment where the windows gimp is newer than the linux gimp. your customer said he wanted a good machine, so the problem might also be that you are relying on binary installations of a linux application and an honestly good machine should be able to build their own gimp. so, race it on the good machine your customer wants, first. count the seconds without the previews toggled on or tell him to wait until photoshop can provide real previews so it can be a fair race. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
