Hi, Jozsef Mak [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Maybe by accident I discovered a bug in Gimp 2.2. This is what happened. I created a new gradient.

The color picker popped up again. At this point, there were 2 color pickers open. I chose the color for the Right color and I clicked OK; the color picker closed, the gradient editor updated. But the first color picker was still open. I clicked on the OK button to close it but nothing happened. I clicked on it repeatedly but nothing. Then I closed the gradient editor. At this point the color picker was still open. Then I clicked again on the OK button and Gimp crashed. I repeated this numerous times and always got the same result. Please open a bug report in Bugzilla then. Reporting your problem here is a good way to let it be forgotten.

We did so in the past and it was a nightmare to maintain. Development on gimp-help works a lot better since it is decoupled from GIMP releases. For the end user who's using some sort of package management system or an installer, there's no difference anyway. The help files get installed with the GIMP packages. As it happens, Slackware and Knoppix (some versions) have Gimp but the help files are not included. Either the maintainers of these distros don't know about the separate help files or they can't figure out how to install them. (Neither can I.) I will inquire in the appropriate lists. Is there a Linux distro anywhere that preinstalls the help files with Gimp? -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Either the maintainers of these distros don't know about the separate help files or they can't figure out how to install them. The user manual isn't considered ready for general consumption yet so it isn't surprising that the help isn't shipped with GIMP by default yet. I hope that the GIMP help team will release a first stable version of the manual soon. (Neither can I.) Oh come on. It's as simple as unpacking the tarball and typing 'configure; make; make install'. If you can't figure that out yourself, perhaps you should ask someone who isn't completely clueless.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP Articles - Request for Ideas
Hello, Michael As for me, it would be nice to tell potential GIMP users how to process their digital camera images. The growth of digital cameras use is rising a problem of post-processing to novice users who do not own proprietary professional tools like Photoshop. So if they see GIMP as a solution to their problems and needs it can increase the GIMP user base greatly. Of course, there are various techniques described at different sites, but these are not located in one place and many of them are advanced techniques which require high background knowledge of GIMP and image processing. If one can propose some framework how to process digital camera images with GIMP from the beginning (download GIMP for Windows from the site..., GIMP for Linux from ...) as some work flow of items, it could be helpful. There are a few items to be described in this article: 1. Work flow: the order of processing. 2. Typical operation: WB (levels) - detailed description to the novice user, cropping, scaling (how to set the best algorithm), sharpness, red eye removing (my preferable method is the tone-saturation tool), noise reduction and so on. The advanced user may be interested in opening of RAW images from the digital camera. This can involve the description of dcraw and rawphoto utilities (with links to Linux and Windows versions). Also a few images shown will be nice. This is my IMHO :). -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Then I clicked again on the OK button and Gimp crashed. I repeated this numerous times and always got the same result. This was on a windows box. I repeated the same process on my Linux box but there everything went fine. Though my Gimp linux version still haven't been updated. jozsefmak ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Where to put help?
Hi, John Culleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: OK the instructions say run ./configure and ./configure fails because it can't find a file called gimp-2.0 pc. I searched my disks (several versions of Gimp laying around) and no such file exists. gimp-2.0.pc is installed into $prefix/lib/pkgconfig. It's a standard thing that a lot of software packages use these days. Please consider to read the pkg-config man-page to learn more about it. The man-page will also explain you how to use the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point pkg-config to .pc files that are not in the default search path. Perhaps I am using the wrong tarball. When you go to the site and look for help files all you can find is a directory called test or testing which holds about 5 different versions of help files. I picked out the most recent one, 2.05 Yes, there's no final gimp-help-2 tarball yet. The help authors don't think their work is ready for general consumption yet. The best solution of course would be to have the help files integrated with the Gimp package itself. That is the way most packages work. Failing that, a help tarball in parallel to the current stable version and with explicit instructions on installation (i.e. where) would be most helpful. Sure. As soon as the manual is released by the people writing it, we will include instructions as how to install it. If you want to make this happen earlier, consider to join the gimp-help-2 team.
