Well, actually you are not up-to-date at all - this is because you
choose to run the oldstable Debian release.

This also means you're missing most of the bug fixes that have happened
in 2.8 since 2.8.2 has been released (minus some security fixes, maybe).

You should check whether you can and want to upgrade to a more current
Debian release. Or, in train terms: check if you want to board a train
that is actually going somewhere, instead of the museum train that's
running around in circles on its closed track.

Debian Wheezy should have the dependencies to build more recent releases of 
GIMP 2.8 as well.
We keep them pretty much the same in the stable GIMP branches.

You shouldn't use the terms "download" and "install" interchangeably.
This will lead to misunderstandings.

Your browser will allow you to put downloads anywhere, although it might
have been set up (or you might have set it up) to put downloaded files
into a specific directory without asking.

I'm pretty sure you are referring to the fact that the GIMP installer
won't let you choose where to install GIMP. It does this if it detects
that GIMP is already installed on your system, and then uses the same
directory.

There is the curious

what-is-a-floppy-drive delaying file dialogs. Can be switched off in the

But this is a delay of seconds, and I guess you waited that long.


Network shares have been reported to cause longer delays, especially if
they can't be connected to.

Lubuntu 16.04 should offer all the dependencies to build babl, gegl and

Ages ago, click-drags did move the selection content without additional
modifier keys.

But we got complaints that it is far too easy to accidentally move this
selected content by minute amounts and not even notice this. So it got
changed to the current behavior.

Re: [Gimp-user] No Filenames Recognized By Gimp

2016-10-31 Thread Michael Schumacher

Am 28.10.2016 um 05:57 schrieb Daniel Banks:
> Gimp will not open any file type other than it's own native format.

Most common reason for this not-that-common issue:

the folders to plug-ins are pointing to directories where there are no
plug-ins. No plug-ins = no support for anything but XCF, and also a lot
of other menu entries missing.

Remedy:
Go to GIMP's preferences and see what folders are specified there, then
go to your file system and check whether GIMP is actually installed
there, and if not, adjust the folders in the preferences.


Technical background for that reason, and for why it isn't common in
general:

For this issue to happen, the following two conditions have to be met:

1. the plug-ins folders had been changed once
2. the current location where GIMP is installed is different to the or a
previous one

If either one is not met, then GIMP would find its plug-ins.

This is not a standard directory for GIMP plug-ins - are you sure that
this is one that you have set up on your system, and do you know how to

As the file ceases to be a TIFF file in GIMP, it is quite curious if
this only happened with TIFF files. Have you tried this with images
imported from other file formats?

You should file it as a bug and attach a sample file.

Re: [Gimp-user] Any plans to improve TIF support?

No, this is not what you were informed about.

The width and height of the files in pixels was asked for because the
error message on export was very specifically pointing that out to be an
issue.

A test performed to check if this size might not matter ("Does not seem
to matter (it is any tif file)"), with a much smaller file (in terms of
width and height, in pixels), did prove that you can export such files -
so it is no problem with e.g. libtiff that would prevent you from
exporting anything.

We're now at "Large files can't be printed or exported to TIFF". Note
that these two actions do not necessarily have to be connected.

Re: [Gimp-user] Unused fonts

It is pretty likely Windows doesn't delete fonts, but marks them as
hidden. This may not be reflected in the list of fonts available to
GIMP, if fontconfig - the library used to list and categorize fonts -
either does not support this yet, or is not configured to do so.

We got a similar bug report about fonts not being used due to language
settings:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641808


What we need is for someone using the affected platform (or caring very
much about it) to figure out how fontconfig can be made to honor these
settings and/or the font state (i.e. them being hidden or not,
respectively).

This could be a configuration setting, or may require a code change in
this library. Blacklisting arbitrary fonts based on some of their
feature is possible, so this might be a matter of finding something
these fonts have in common that is also recognized and understood by
fontconfig.

This is definitely not supposed to happen, and doesn't seem to happen to
most users. The tool options are docked to the image window?

That's a setting of your window manager then - go to GIMP's preferences,
the window management section there is where the window hint setting
mentioned in this thread is located.

As you didn't set the option in GIMP, this achieves nothing.

See above - do it in the right place.

"Utility window" is supposed to be the correct default, though - it is
supposed to keep the docks and dialogs on top of other GIMP windows, but
not above other applications.

A good practice for maintainers of third-party builds is to have
multiple global plug-ins directories (likewise for other resources).

At least two, one for the standard plug-ins that come with GIMP and one
for any extra ones. Probably more, if sorting them into different
categories seems feasible.

This makes me wonder if the most recent package for OSX is being used

Having a http host which only redirects to the https one would solve
that nicely - all of the gimp.org under our direct control is set up
this way.

Also, you might want to set up some headers to make framing and XSS

become a problem.

This depends on the site configuration, actually. To make the downgrade

you know what you are doing), a useful approach would be to use HSTS:

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.8.20 released

2017-02-02 Thread Michael Schumacher
Hi,

we are releasing GIMP 2.8.20 with a number of bug fixes, including the
official fix for the weird language choices on macOS (this was already
fixed in an update to the most recent 2.8.18 package).

Users on the Microsoft Windows platform will notice a fix to end the
crazy oscillating between different input devices, for example a tablet
stylus and the mouse.

This is a bugfix release in the stable 2.8 series, no
new features were added.

For a complete list of changes since 2.8.18 please see the "Changes"
section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at
https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html

Happy GIMPing,
--Michael


Download


  GIMP 2.8.20 is available from:

  https://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/

  and from the mirrors listed at:

  https://www.gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors

  Please use the torrent, it distributes
  the download bandwidth across all mirrors:

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.18 to GIMP 2.8.20
===


Core:

 - Avoid D-Bus error message when built without D-Bus support
 - fix OS X min required conditional in gimpimagewindow.c
 - Saving to existing .xcf.bz and .xcf.gz files didn't truncate them
   and could lead to unnecessarily large files
 - Text layer created by gimp-text-fontname doesn't respect border
   when resized
 - Avoid seeking when saving XCF files to prevent corruption with
   file network shares (fixed since 2014, but not mentioned in NEWS yet)


GUI:

 - Flow on Paint Dynamics editor dialog: the 'y' axis is indicating
   'Rate' instead 'Flow'
 - Vertical ruler shows artifacts if the status bar isn't showing
 - Tablet stylus misbehaves when crossing the edge of a dock in
   multi-window-mode
 - Disable the new "automatic window tabbing" feature introduced on
   macOS Sierra
 - Improve the visibility of slider handles with dark themes
 - Make it harder to switch to renaming if selecting already selected
   items in resource lists


Tools:

 - Make toggling to color picker mode of paint tools more robust


Libgimp:

 - Call gimp_file_entry_set_filename() with filename encoding


Windows Installer:

 - Reduce the memory requirement when running the installer (has
   already been shipped in a 2.8.18 installer-only update)
 - Ship an updated libcairo to fix GTK+ UI rendering problems, like
   missing palette border/bevel and shadows under tab labels


macOS DMG:

 - Ship the Tango icon theme with the DMG for a complete set of icons
 - Fix the way mime data is copied into the bundle
 - No longer copy Pango modules into the bundle
 - Prevent a crash caused by drag&drop on OSX by patching the included
   GTK+
 - Ship a patch for gettext to make sure the preferred UI language
   will be used


Plug-ins:

 - Prevent the Python console from closing by the Escape key
 - Help browser does not launch on OS X
 - Filter 'Edge Detect/Difference of Gaussians' returns empty image
 - Only use -xobjective-c for compile commands
 - mkgen.pl: fix calls to write_file() routine to write to current
   directory
 - When printing, the images are composed onto a white background to
   prevent printing a black box instead of a transparent image
 - Fix color vision deficiency display filters to apply gamma
   correction directly

This is either a very custom GIMP (and I have no idea who'd have  done
this), or a totally different application. Maybe the Windows snipping tool?

This seems to happen there somewhat more frequently (cf.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753248 ) but is not limited
to this platform.

We hope that a user who knows the debugging tools for the windowing
system they use can do some research there and figure out what exactly
is happening, i.e. what either GIMP or GTK+ would have to do different-

Please note that "known issue" doesn't mean that anything will magically

Tablet support is handled by GTK+, and I'm pretty sure none of the
developers own a tablet of this brand. It doesn't help that most of
these issues happen on the Windows platforms, which few to none of the
developers use, either.

If you want to see this fixed. you should help to figure out what has
changed:

- compare the GTK+ versions packaged in the 2.8.18 and 2.8.20 installers
- then the code changes there, between the specific states in
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/log/?h=gtk-2-24

It is a very fast way to create a new layer from exactly what's visible
in the image as a whole. This is useful if you want to reuse the current
result in another image, for example.

You save XCF and you export JPEG.

Exporting to JPEG does not modify the image you got in GIMP, provided
that you do not do any additional steps to it. You do not have to do any
additional steps to facilitate the export.

Your report is the only one of this problem I know about, so it is
likely some localized issue.

You can use a tool like Process Monitor to try to see what the installer
is being denied access to:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

There are various filter options, setting this to only include anything
with "gimp" in the process or file names should help to limit the amount
of data to process.

But does the image still look ok? If yes, then the layers are there, but
don't show up in the Layers dialog.

The Layers dialog can be set to follow the active image automatically,
or require a manual action to do so - this can be useful if you want to
bring many layers from one image into another, for example.

This is controlled by the bar with a image drop-down and Auto button in
the corresponding dock - see
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-structure.html#gimp-layer-dialog

You should check if you have disabled the Auto setting there.

That should be an easy change to the following script:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/script-fu/scripts/guides-new-percent.scm

Modifying the number entry in line 37 to allow for some decimals, and
then checking if any of the calculations turn it into integers again,
and fix these if necessary.

Do you want to give it a try and get your name into the list of GIMP
contributors, or an additional commit if it is present already?

If you know where this command should be done - somewhere in the
script-fu plug-in, I assume - you could try to do this as well. There's
also a bug report about this behavior.

Yes. This is actually the place where GIMP development happens.

Join, and stay - many people there never leave, even though they might

Oh, don't worry - we wouldn't want you to keep your changes a secret :)

Actually, it would be very convenient if you could get a git clone of
GIMP from the GNOME git repository. See
https://wiki.gnome.org/Git/Developers - anonymous access for now,
frequent contributors get their own account.

Make your change and provide a patch - the usual way is to attach it to
a feature request in GNOME Bugzilla -
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=browse.html&product=GIMP - you'll
need to create an account here.

Nothing broken there - the file type filter on the right limits the
displayed files to those matching the type chosen, and the file type
selection can be used to choose a type (and file name extension) for the
exported file.

There's hardly ever any need to change the latter from its default "By
extension" setting, though.

One of the suggestions we had at that time was whether this could be done via 
translations and a customized shortcuts file. But this either didn't work, or 
was not followed up by the original author, I don't recall.

And there was something similar to Single Window Mode, via a plug-in that added 
a window to capture all the GIMP windows - only for the Windows platforms, IIRC.

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.8.22 released

2017-05-11 Thread Michael Schumacher
Hi,

we are releasing GIMP 2.8.22 with various bug fixes.

All platforms will benefit from a change to the image window hierarchy
in single window mode, which improves painting performance when certain
GTK+ themes are used.

This version fixes an ancient CVE bug, CVE-2007-3126. Due to this bug,
the ICO file import plug-in could be crashed by specially crafted image
files. Our attempts to reproduce the bug failed with 2.8 and thus the
impact had likely been minimal for years, but now it is gone for good.

Users on the Apple macOS platforms will benefit from fixes for crashes
during drag&drop and copy&paste operations. On the Microsoft Windows
platforms, crashes encountered when using the color picker with special
multi-screen setups are gone, and picking the actual color instead of
black from anywhere on the screen should finally be possible.

For a complete list of changes since 2.8.20 please see the "Changes"
section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at
https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html

Happy GIMPing,
--Michael

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.20 to GIMP 2.8.22
===

GUI:

 - improve drawing performance in single window mode, especially with
   pixmap themes


macOS DMG:

 - Make the launcher script also set BABL_PATH
 - Add patch for GTK+ Bug 743717 to the build which concerns crashes

   on some drag & drop operations
 - generate OSX package metadata during build


Plug-ins:

 - Fix for CVE-2007-3126, a bug in the ICO plug-in which allowed
   context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
   via an ICO file with an InfoHeader containing a Height of zero.
   We couldn't reproduce any crash in recent version, but fixed the
   error messages for good measure
 - Avoid creating wrong layer group structure when importing PSD
   files (already fixed in 2.8.20, didn't make it to the NEWS)
 - Prevent a crash in PDF plug-in if images or resolution are large
 - stop parsing invalid PCX files early and prevent a segmentation fault

I know that user manuals of all software are to be shunned, but dare I
suggest to provide the readers with links to:


- the File->Open dialog
https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-file-open.html

- the File->Save dialog
https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-save-dialog.html


where the user interface elements mentioned in this thread are visible
and get explained?

And this doesn't have a performance impact with large images and brushes?

Yes, you should, and yes, you can - it is a mailing list, so all you
need is an email address and a web browser to go to:

https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list


There is an alternative:

Being on IRC can be even more helpful, especially if you need advice in
real-time if you are trying to figure out how some code works *right now*.

Most of the discussions alongside GIMP development actually happen on
IRC, the server is irc.gimp.org and the channel is #gimp. Make sure you
can join during European evenings and be prepared to stay for hours at a
time.

Well, this would be a whole new paradigm of behavior being introduced,
so how something behaves right now is of lesser importance.

The changes you have done to make painting work across all views would
be interesting to see. This is where attaching a patch to an enhancement

This isn't what we have identified as the issue - and it is actually

It's actually possible to reproduce the same behavior on other platforms

For what it is worth, everything you wrote seems to show up as intended

at least that the mail gimpusers.com sends to the list is left intact.

This is GIMP 2.8.22 - adding glib-networking was one of the points to
make this release.

BTW, this also seems to have given us transparent proxy support - i.e.
file access from locations where a proxy server is mandatory may now
just work. Can anyone confirm this?

Your toolbox is too narrow - you can make it wider to see several
columns of tools by grabbing its border and dragging it.

If you do not want to make it wider, but do not need all tools, you can
disbale those you do not need in Edit -> Preferences.

How are you trying to select the tool - keyboard? mouse? Some other

Um... there never was a Text along Path tool, actually (always just the

You could be remembering something different, maybe third-party plug-in.
If you still got a XCF file with text shaped in this way, it would be
good if you can share it. Also, anything you know about when this was
possible can be helpful.

> *Is there a currently functional stable version of Gimp with an accurate

The current stable version is GIMP 2.8, and the user manual at
http://docs.gimp.org/en/ is updated daily from the contents of its
version-tracking repository. It is still likely not complete, and I'd
like to know what you are missing the most there.

What we are currently lacking is up-to-date released packages of the
user manual.

> I tried Gimp 2.9.? and it was even worse.

GIMP 2.9 is a development version, and to really get the most of it you
should follow development closely and try to keep your 2.9.x version up
to date.

It isn't a stable release, and thus not actually intended for production
use, but I am aware that many people use it to great success.

> *What are the options to retrieve a usable Gimp?*

Tell us what doesn't work (like you did here), and then help us to
figure out why it doesn't work for you.

8"x10" at 200 ppi is 1600 x 2000 pixels.

If you can crop the image to this size and get what you want, you do not
need additional steps.

If you do - i.e. if a 1600x2000 crop does not match up with what you
want to crop out of the original image - then a scale will become
necessary.

Can you provide a sample image and mark the area you want to retain
after the crop?

There is an unit drop-down list in the image window status bar - check
the View menu. This can also be set in GIMP's preferences.

Maybe to adjust the image resolution.

Ok, so we are referring to the same functionality.

I'm not aware of any significant functional differences between 2.6 and
2.8.

Is this thread about not finding how to do this, because UI locations

Did you use the same unit and the same value for the font size?

If you have e.g. used pixels in GIMP, and point in the other
applications, then the results may vary.

Modern Points are defined as 1/72th of an inch, and thus depend on the
image's ppi value - in GIMP 2.8, the PPI value is 72 ppi by default, so
it can be hard to notice a difference because one 1px equals 1 pt for
this value  (we're changing it to 300 PPI for 2.10, btw).

You could compare their .gimp-2.8 profile directories and find the
differences. This directory is located in your Windows user profile
directory.

*Do not delete anything* too quickly - this will destroy all evidence
which can help to investigate the problem.

If at all, rename the .gimp-2.8 directory of the previous user account,
GIMP will then create a new profile directory on the next launch.

It doesn't have to be highlighted if you only change the settings for
the whole text layer in the text tool options.

This does not work if you have created at least one span of text by
selecting it and changing its format with the on-canvas controls, though.


We know that this can feel weird:

[Gimp-user] Fwd: gimp-user-list post from j...@cjsa.com requires approval

Hi Jeff,

your local setup - which seems to involve local newsgroups - is creating
automated duplicate messages to the list.

Please fix this ASAP.

Seems like someone has set up a local news server, which is reinjecting
the messages.

The user account has been identified, notified and is currently suspended.

There is a reason for what you want to do, please tell us.

Tell us about the reasoning that led you to modify this file, and

Downloaded this file, imported it into GIMP 2.8.22, exported to PSD, and
encountered no problems when importing this again.

As you modified the file before exporting, this test is likely not
representative - can you describe the perspective transform you've applied?

Use a current version of GIMP - 2.8.22, for example.

rich, can you please *never* suggest to delete the user profile?
Please only advise users to rename it.

If the users does this, and this turn out to fix the issue, we'll never,
ever have a chance to figure out what exactly has caused this.

You should be a bit more specific... for example, you didn't tell us
what platform you are on.

Maybe take some time, think about "What could they possible need to know
to help me?", and try to anticipate some of our questions? :)

That's not a different language, it's English with different characters.
Has been reported a few times, but the majority of users seems to not be

Because this is how third-party plug-ins are supposed to bundle DLL
files they may use. Third-party plug-ins are also supposed to live in
either a subdirectory of an existing plug-ins (2.9.x searches these by
default now) folder or an additional folder altogether.


Note that GIMP 2.9.x versions may show additional errors which are
silently ignored for stable releases.

So this happens when you create a new file, i.e. when you confirm the
new image dialog?

And it also happens when you try to save a file?

Does it also happen on exporting to an image file format other than XCF?

What happens is a file locking issue for the fontconfig cache - see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782676#c14 ff for more details.

The new cache file is actually created, but it never replaces the old
one, and so this process is repeated on every start. Even when
intervening manually, anything which causes a regeneration of the cache
may run into the same issue and start that annoying cycle anew.

A permanent fix is to use a more recent version of the fontconfig
library, and as mentioned in that bug report, this is something aimed
for in a 2.8.24 release (or actually, the installer package created from
that).

The current development release for the Windows platforms, 2.9.6, uses
the recent fontconfig and startup behavior seems to consistently avoid
that issue, so I'm confident that's fixed for good.
