People can always install the gutenprint plug-in if they need this functionality. Not saying that the new Print plug-in shouldn't be improved, but it should not be our goal to overload it until is has all the features that the gimp-print plug-in had.

But what about if you just have some Jpg files (grabed from a camera for ex.) and that you just want to optimize them to send them to some friends or eventually put on a gallery. In this case, you have bot single-layered (and more : same file format). And being able to see what space is eally won regarding the loss of qualty can be nice. THis is not a esthetic reason at all.

May be having the list of colors (like palettes), and allowing the user to modify the colors would help them. But may be it is a long way for a little benefit. I'm not good enough in coding to ealuate that. Snif. cedric ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Workshop:Gimp Artistis - donation question
Hello Gimp Developers, I am an artist and am creating a workshop for other artists who would like to use GIMP to create digital artwork. I am charging $26.99 for this workshop. I would like to donate a portion of the proceeds to the conference. I may also offer a download after the Feb-March session, that would be substantially less but may still allow for a small contribution to the developer conference fund as well. I was directed to post to the Gimp developer list for details about how to go about this correctly. Are there any guidelines that I should be aware of? What kind of details should I provide to you prior to this project? I look forward to your reply. Thank you for such a dynamic tool. I realize that I am using it unconventionally perhaps. I am using the Gimp for windows version 2.2.13 This is my way of giving back to the community. reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Respectfully, GypsyOwl In case you need more info: I have artwork in the header at http://www.gypsyowl.org and at http://www.cafepress.com/gypsyowl I have workshop information posted at http://www.gypsyowl.blogspot.com The later of the two listed have GIMP download icons present on the sites. The org site is going through a rebuild and will soon be run by the joomla content manager. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The latter would have to be reported against GTK+. I've filed a gimp bug (#387604) on the unit factor problems (I suspect the dialog disappearing on Print Preview is the same problem; at least it's not easily separable from it right now). I'm not sure which of the other problems is GtkPrint vs. GIMP, because I'm not familiar with what GtkPrint does. Two bugs that seem worth filing: - Not reading the system paper size (I'm guessing this is gtkprint) - Two different functions named Page Setup (I'm guessing this is GIMP) Do my guesses sound right? And a few RFEs which would be needed to get the print dialog to functionality comparable to the existing gimp-print plug-in. I don't know whether these belong to gtkprint or gimp: - No way to adjust margins - Page Setup should be in the Layout tab, not a separate dialog - No live preview -- ...Akkana "Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional": http://gimpbook.com ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Save for Web plug-in
Hi, It's nice to hear from someone who has actually tried working with the Save for Web plug-in. At some point of development info was displayed under each view, but I didn't find original info line useful. Why do you think it would be: just for esthetic reasons or does it have some useful functional meaning? I don't know whether it's worth comparing file size of multilayered GIMP image and compressed single-layered jpeg, gif or png. However, I am sure original image dimensions should be displayed in resize panel, so that user could restore them. Do you think any additional information about original or optimized image should be provided? Is the user interface intuitive enough or something should be changed? BTW, I tried porting the plug-in on The GIMP 2.2 but without success. In order to try the plug-in one has to compile it for 2.3 or current CVS. If someone got it working on The GIMP 2.2, however, please send me so I could add it to the registry.

To improve compression evaluation, it could also be nice to display original file infos under the left preview.
