 I want to load the file and get drawable instance. Just trying call
 filter-plugin possiblity in standalone app.
 Anyone can tell me more information :)

libgimp relies on a running GIMP core. Without a GIMP core running, 
libgimp is useless. libgimp is not a generic graphics library.

If you want a generics graphic library, look into GEGL, www.gegl.org.

[Gimp-developer] [GSoC] 10 days to go...

2009-08-06 Thread Michael Schumacher
Hi,

we're getting close to the end of Google Summer of Code 2009.

The firm end is on August 17, the suggested end of coding is August 10 - the 
last week should be used for testing and bugfixing.

Michael

 The toolbox has the 'utility' window hint set and most window managers
 interpret that as to keep it above normal windows of the same
 application.

I can not reproduce the problem with metacity. The patch works exactly
as intended there.

400 bugs? That's a lot less than GIMP has.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Zero-points and the UI (was: Re: Bug #164774)

 . In other words, the user could have the rulers
 tell him that point 0,0 begins at, say, the center of the image, instead
 of the top-left. This is a feature which would be useful to web
 developers and perhaps also game sprite developers.

A sufficiently discoverable and also precise way to do that might be to
have a context (pop-up) menu on the rulers, with items such as,
  add new guide (same as dragging a guide out)
  set ruler zero-point to here
  0 is on the left (default)
  0 is on the right
  units  (submenu)
  [v]  show guides



 However, I also see that there are other parts of the User Interface
 that display coordinates, including the box at the bottom left of the
 main window, and several tools such as the measuring tool. So the
 question I asked was: if it is possible to have an offset in the rulers,
 should all these components be in sync with the rulers?

Seems to me 0,0 is always going to be the top left corner of the image.
There's no way to have multiple coordinate systems without confusing
anyone not of a mathematical bent. It sounds like they should all work
together, but that would mean moving the origin of the image itself,
which might confuse scripts (e.g. they don't expect data at negative
coordinates I think) and might affect layer offsets when files are
exported.  So it should only be a view thing, and then it doesn't
need to be the same as the coordinates elsewhere, perhaps?

IMO all places that show coordinates need to be adjusted. Otherwise it
will be a total mess. Of course the actual image origin will still be 0,
0. We are just talking about the user interface parts that display
coordinates. The core shouldn't know about this.

It's been reported against at least 4 different window managers
so far: metacity, xfce, openbox and windowmaker. It's not just
metacity.  It makes gimp quite a bit more difficult to use under
those window managers -- it's what's been keeping me from using git
GIMP for anything more than quick tests.

There are also some reports of similar behavior on Windows;
I'm not sure whether it really is the same issue, not being
familiar with the Windows problem, but Michael Schumacher
thought so when he marked bug 566196 a dup of 556896.

[Gimp-developer] Remove zoom tool...

2009-08-06 Thread Luis Diego Alpizar Alpizar

I wanted to ask if removing the zoom tool, from the toolbox to some new 
place(for the new UI)
was something you devs plan to do, if you didn't hear this before, i find the 
zoom tool not
usefull, as is better a single button(+,-) in some part of the GIMP window, 
because clicking
2 times in order to zoom in or out(and therefore, changing from zoom in to zoom 
out, would require
a lot effort) for something that can be more easy to do, i find myself afected 
my workflow when i'm
doing some photomanipulation.

 Pro tip...  ctrl+mousewheel = zoom, regardless of which tool you are using.

using a pen tablet(though i can use scrollwheel but works strange on GIMP, 
better 2 simple buttons)...

thanks anyway =) i insist in this possibility. 

Discuss it please! Simple implementation = more workflow

Hi Schumaml,

Thank you for the notice. I will try my best to have more progress in the last 
stage of the program, within schedule. I may continue to work on the tasks, 
knowing that it is challenging. I have learned a lot about the Gimp development 
work flow, and coding. 

Regards,

 

Zhenfeng.
