Re: [Gimp-developer] Meaning of delay in screenshot plugin

2007-01-28 Thread Sven Neumann
Hi,

I don't think the plug-in will be removed but I would like not to
clutter the user interface again. The current UI seems to be more
appealing and usable than what we used to have.

Personally I tend to use the Screenshot functionality that is built into
the GNOME desktop. The screenshot is just a keypress (Print, Alt-Print)
away and importing it into GIMP is accomplished easily by dragging the
preview onto the GIMP toolbox.

Re: [Gimp-developer] improving bicubic interpolation

2007-01-28 Thread Sven Neumann
Hi,

before you start attacking the bicubic interpolation routines, could you
please have a look at the outstanding bug report for Lanczos:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167956

Would be nice to get this one closed finally. And we can't release 2.4
as long as it is still open.

[Gimp-developer] GEGL 0.0.10 released

2007-01-28 Thread Øyvind Kolås
GEGL 0.0.8 was missing a file sometimes needed in the build environment,
thus GEGL 0.0.10 has been rushed out to replace it.

What is GEGL?
=

GEGL is a graph based image processing framework offering non-destructive image
processing and compositing on large images. GEGL is suitable for projects
ranging from small one-off projects to interactive applications.

New in GEGL 0.0.10
==

The internal API has stabilized a bit more since the last release as
well as gotten
a couple of new capabilities. This release has focused on narrowing
down and documenting
the public API. A HTML API reference can be found at
http://gegl.org/api.html as well
as in docs/api.html in the downloaded tarball.

Some of the other improvements in this release:

- Internal caches for rendering (internal floating point projection)
- API for iterative rendering
- API for querying node connections.
- improved hit detection (still only bounding boxes)
- performance enhancements to frequently used code paths.
- improved relative path handling in test app

Contributors to this release: Kevin Cozens, Øyvind Kolås and Sven Neuman.

Hi,

 In fact that's exactly what I am working on.
 
 If you look at my last post to the bug you linked above you will see I  
 started a new bug since this one was getting too long, confused and mixing  
 a number of issues.
 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363775

Sorry, but I am unable to follow your way of handling bug reports. If
there's now a new bug that deals with remaining issues in bug #167956,
why is the former not closed then? And why is the new bug not on the 2.4
milestone?

 2) scale_region_no_resample() calculates offset tables effectively using  
 (x + 0.5) . This would seem to be aimed at using the midpoint to scale  
 down but has no meaning to scaling up. It's a nop. Using guint instead of  
 gint for this data would also be more efficient.

Sorry, but guint is never any more efficient than gint and it is likely
to introduce bugs that are very hard to find. Please avoid the use of
guint by all means. It should only be used when bit-fiddling is
involved.
