[Gimp-user] Tablet problems even with GIMP 2.2
Hi, I browsed the mail list searching a solution but I didn't have luck...I apologize now if I'm repeating old-known problems. I'm having problems with my wacom tablet since gimp 2.x series. I recently update my linuxwacom drivers to 0.6.6 version (latest) thinking that the problem could come from this. Despite this, the problem persists, even in latest GIMP 2.2: -I select a tool (eg.pen), I start to draw into canvas, I raise the pen and the tool still drawing. I can't select nothing when this 'phenomenon' occurs: I must move quick and randomly the pen over all the screen waiting for the luck in order to 'unblock' the pointer. Another annoying problem is the apparition of strange-random jagged shapes when I move the pen over the tablet without exercising pressure into it. I'm runing GIMP 2.2 under debian gnu/linux with 2.6.9 kernel, using a USB wacom Volito tablet and gnome as a desktop environment. Hope that my feedback will be useful... and waiting for help :) Thanks Chronoh ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The criticism will stay: to try and make Gimp even better, and the questions will stay too: because we like to -use- Gimp so much.

All you can do then is to contact the author of the GIMP binary package that you are using and ask him/her to update the versions of freetype and fontconfig that are shipped with it.

Hi, Jogchum Reitsma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'm afraid I have to confirm John's problem: there simply is no file > called gimp-2.0.pc on my system. You are missing the gimp-devel package then. If you want to install the user manual from source, you need to have the GIMP development package installed. Otherwise you should be using the gimp-help package that your distribution provides. If it doesn't provide one, you should ask them to do add one. There's a workaround that allows you to install gimp-help-2 w/o having GIMP installed or w/o having the GIMP development package installed. It's mentioned in the installation instructions that come with gimp-help-2 (look at the file INSTALL).

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.

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GNU Image Manipulation Program 2.2.0
Hi, the GIMP developers are proud to release version 2.2 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program. About nine months after version 2.0 hit the road, we have completed another development cycle and can bring a new stable GIMP to our user's desktops. About The GIMP The GNU Image Manipulation Program, the GIMP, is ideal for amateur photographers, web designers, and many other people who want to create and edit digital images. It is a very powerful application, with features including: channels, layers and masks; colour operations such as levels, curves and threshhold; advanced selection operations using intelligent scissors and selection channels; and much more. GIMP is free software, which means it can be freely distributed and modified. This makes it well suited to be included on cover disks of magazines dedicated to digital photography or image editing, or to be included with digital cameras, scanners, printers etc. As free software, its capabilities are ultimately limited only by the collective imagination of the community of free software contributors. More information about the GIMP is available at http://www.gimp.org Download The GIMP can be downloaded as source code from ftp.gimp.org or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html. We expect that binary packages for the different supported platforms and distributions will show up soon. Unless you are experienced with building software from source, you should wait until binary packages become available. Upgrading from GIMP 2.0 Version 2.2 is an update on GIMP 2.0. GIMP 2.2 is fully backward compatible to GIMP 2.0. Plug-ins and scripts written for GIMP 2.0 will continue to work and don't need to be changed nor recompiled to be used with GIMP 2.2. We do however hope that plug-in authors will update their plug-ins for GIMP 2.2 and adapt the GUI changes we did with this version. GIMP 2.2 replaces GIMP 2.0. It is advised that you uninstall GIMP 2.0 before installing GIMP 2.2. If you want to keep GIMP 2.0 installed in parallel to GIMP 2.2, you have to choose a separate prefix which is not in your default library search path. Help The GIMP user manual has been improved a lot over the last couple of months. We stronly suggest that you install the latest version of the gimp-help-2 package together with GIMP 2.2. You will then have context-sensitive help in almost all dialogs by hitting the F1 key or by pressing the Help button which has been added to most dialogs. gimp-help-2 is available from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/testing/. The manual can also be accessed online at http://docs.gimp.org/. Bugs Thanks to the pre-releases we did over the last month, this code has already seen quite some testing but a lot has changed since version GIMP 2.0 and we could very well have introduced new bugs. If you find any , make sure you report them at bugzilla.gnome.org (after checking that it isn't reported already). What's New in GIMP 2.2 We have collected a list of changes and new features in the GIMP Wiki. Please have a look at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/WhatsNew2. For a detailed list of changes, please have a look at the NEWS file, which is contained in the tarball and available online at http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS. What's Next You can expect updated versions of gimp-gap, gimp-freetype, gimp-plugin-template and hopefully also gimp-perl to appear over the next weeks. The GIMP source tree will soon be branched so that development can continue towards GIMP 2.4. We haven't yet made up a detailed roadmap, but we will try to publish one soon. Lots of people have helped to make this release happen. Thanks to all the contributors who wrote code, sent patches, worked on the docs, translated the user interface, reported bugs or just made helpful suggestions. GIMP 2.2 wouldn't exist without your help. Keep it coming! Happy GIMPing, Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
