Why is there a newline inserted here? I think it looked a lot better
without it and there's no semantic reason why there should be a newline
at this place.

 I think you misunderstood what libgimp is doing. There is no image
 manipulation functionality in libgimp. libgimp is just used to allow the
 GIMP core and it's plug-ins to communicate. Without the GIMP core
 running, libgimp is useless. So you can't build an application, link to
 libgimp and use all the GIMP functionality. What you can do is to write
 a plug-in that communicates with a running GIMP process (or even to
 gimp-console, which is a gimp binary without the user interface).

Does GEGL work like Mariano thought libgimp work? In that case, it is maybe 
a better idea to start looking at GEGL, has it will be, in the future, the 
image manipulation library used in The Gimp...

IMHO, I prefer Alan Horkan's comment about the descriptive text. I think
this is what the field is for too, to describe what the application does
tersely. But if you think it's unnecessary, I'll remove it out.

Carol,

As a gimp user of many years who has watched (put up with and hated) your
periodic immature bursts of vitriol, I have come up with a few alternative
explanations for your behavior (and possible work-arounds) -

1 - you're a paranoid schizoprenic (work-around - please make sure you've
been taking your medicine for at least 10 days before you post to the
list, or, better, take Sven's advice and Please unsubscribe yourself 
from all GIMP mailing-lists and leave us alone.)
2 - you're a lush (work around - please make sure you've been sober for 
at least 10 days before you post to the list, or, better, take Sven's 
advice and Please unsubscribe yourself from all GIMP mailing-lists 
and leave us alone.)
3 - You're an unpleasant person with no life who gets pleasure from insulting
and demeaning people who (unlike you) are trying to get things done 
(work-around - get a life and take Sven's advice and Please 
unsubscribe 
yourself from all GIMP mailing-lists and leave us alone.)

Personally, I think it's (3) and I have no idea why you're still permitted
to post with a gimp.org address and to have the carol.gimp.org DNS entry.

Just go away.

Well, we (as in old gimp farts) are dealing with this kind of shit for
at least four years now. If anybody of us would be able to understand what
Carol is asking for then there would be no issue - we would answer her
question and the issue would be no more.

Carol was basically a source of incomprehensible messages for four years
now. It is getting on at least my nerves. Other people told me that
they have left GIMP/Gimp-Web development because of her. That hurts,
especially for a project with that few active developers as GIMP.

In the last few mails carol is indirectly suggesting that the organisation
of the Siggraph stuff is somehow shady. We all want to kill Wilber -
whatever that means and Gnome is evil anyway. She coerces Dave to
respond to vague allegations about the GIMP-Gnome relationship,
financing, how-to-become-a-volunteer-for-siggraph and whatever

I am sick of that kind of stuff. I am about to unsubscribe from
gimp-developer because of that kind of stuff - reading gimp-developer is
no fun anymore, because at any time you can hit a message that has a very
confusing and frustrating content.

So yeah, Carol does represent some threat: Driving people away. This is
a very real problem for the GIMP.

Bye,
Simon

Re: [Gimp-developer] libGimp

2006-07-19 Thread Mariano Cuenze
Sven: Really, thanks for your repply. Yes, I misunderstood. Then suppose that I develop that plug-in, something that allow an interproccess comunication with the GIMP, i still will have to install the GIMP, to start it in some way, and then to use it. I wonder if it is a good solution to use interproccess comunication instead of link or add it to a project (may be I cant still see the dimension of the task). Is it more difficult? or is there nothing developed that will make more easy the task? or is it impossible for some reason? or the plug in way can be a good starting point?
 Another possibility can be: add to the gimp-console, this plug-in ability, or develop something like the gimp-console with this functionality, and allow it to be compiled like a library. But, if the way is a plug-in, it must have two parts: one (that must be installed in GIMP) that is responsible to expose the GIMP functionality, information about the environment (the plug-ins installed, the GIMP version,..). And a client part, that encapsulate the interproccess comunication. Because the GIMP runs on a big amount of systems, do you recommend something about the kind of ic that is the best to use? GIOChannel? signals? socket? pipe? another? In some point, the idea is, form a console test program, and like the first possible step:
#include gimp_remoteclient.hint main (void){ Gimp_Remote_Start ( ); Gimp_Image aGImg = Gimp_Remote_OpenImage ( aImg.png ); /*in a future, add image manipulation, filters and layer access,...*/
 Gimp_Remote_SaveImageAs ( aGImg, AImg2.png, Gimp_ImageFormat::PNG ); Gimp_Remote_End ( ); return 0;} I am sorry about my little knowledge about this idea and how to implement it -I really want to extend GIMP in this direction, I think it will be very nice.

[Gimp-developer] Re: Gimp-developer Digest, Vol 46, Issue 22

2006-07-19 Thread Mariano Cuenze

Frédéric:
May be. I had looked at GEGL, but it is like a low level
api for image manipulation, if I unterstood well, for a simple task
(like, add a mask), you have to do a long sequence of operations. With
GEGL you have to talk with it using a DAG, in wicth images are edges,
and operations are nodes, its sound like a very complex task (and you
have to know about image proccessing). If it is the way, I will use it
and I will add a layer to make things a litle bit more easy to the
user of this 'extension'. It is just, I think I have to know a lot
about digital image proccessing to make a correct use of GEGL. I
believe that if gimp will use it, and I can develop a thing that can
'talk' with GIMP, that will be perfect. Again, I know a little about
those topics, if it is the recomended way to use GEGL or if I
misunderstood about GECL function, I will use it instead GIMP.
   Please, if you can clarify the subject to me, that will be nice.
   Thanks again.
   Mariano.
