Re: [Gimp-user] superimpose no-smoking sign
Hi, Shawn [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've only used gimp a little bit but need to teach an autistic child to not run into the street and do other things. To do that, I need to take pictures and then super-impose a basic no sign (like you see for no-smoking) over it. I need to do this for a lot of pictures. Any suggestions for how to do that. I am going through the gimp help browser now but have basically no idea. I _really_ appreciate it. Load your picture, create an empty layer on top of it and draw your red circle there. You can then adjust opacity of the upper layer in the Layers dialog. If you need to do this for a lot of images, I suggest that you use a vectors program to create the forbidden sign and save it as SVG. Then you can load this image as a layer into your images (using File-Open as Layer).

[Gimp-user] gimp 2.2.1 windows metafile and scale image bug
Hi! I use gimp 2.2.1 from debian SID. My first question is: I want to open a windows metafile (.wmz), and the plugin open fine (I can choose the dimension and the dpi value too. Its just good), BUT where can I choose the caracter encoding? If I open my windows metafile with a text editor, I can read all the text, and the encoding is ISO-8859-2. BUT when I import the accent caracter is replaced with a space caracter (vide caracter) So, how can I fix it? (the text is in hungarian language and there is many accent caracters) I have installed libwmf-bin packages at my debian system, but does not recognize the .wmz files (independant from the gimp try). wmf2svg image001.wmz ERROR: meta.c (179): wmf_header_read: this isn't a wmf file For now, I cant print the .wmz images, and I cant prepare for my examens ...;-( My other remark: In the scale image dialog the percent unit entry does not work anymore. For example I have a : 1665x1061 px image, when I choose the percent dialog, it change to: 18488,89x11777,78 I dont know what does it mean. Normaly it change to 100% and I can just type 25%. Remark: It worked in gimp 2.0.0-2.0.6 and gimp 2.2-pre1 too.

[Gimp-user] Print problem with Gimp
Hi everybody, I have the following problem when printing from Gimp 2.0 (I use a laptop with Mandrake 10.1 Community + KDE, printer: Epson Stylus Color 440) : the position of the picture on the paper is not in accordance with the presets in the print window : the picture is shifted to the left. E.g. if I choose a left border of, say 6cm, then the actual border on the paper is around 3cm (and more generally, its about 1/2 of what I would like to). The size of paper is OK (A4), the units are right (cm). Moreover the vertical positioning is correct, as well as the dimension of the printed picture. Is this a problem with Gimp, Cups, printer or anything else ? Thanks for your help.

I will check the libwmf mailing list. I write down how I solved my problem: 1. I convert with wmf2fig the .wmf file to .fig file (wmf2svg produced a .svg that didnt worked for gimp neither for inkscape. wmf2eps produces an .eps with unreadable junk at the accented caracter place.) 2. Open the .fig file with xfig. And export to .svg 3. Open the .svg file with inkscape, and change some small thing (move the text to the right place, etc). 4. export as .eps from inkscape. 5. open with scribus, and place at the right place on the A4 paper. (I have printed out the documentation without the images.) 6. print from scribus Small problem: in xfig or inkscape the text does not show as text all the letter are invidual object. (so cant edit the text, cant fix the caracter encoding (two letter are different in iso-8859-2 (o~ vs. o; u^ vs. u)) In the scale image dialog the percent unit entry does not work anymore.

[Gimp-user] File Open dialog?
Hi everyone! I know that this probably isn't the right place to discuss this, but I'll ask in the hopes that someone will point me in the right direction. Which developer list would be appropriate for such an email? I am well aware that the new file open dialog has been a topic of contentious debate, and my goal isn't to arouse people's tempers. I like neither the new (GIMP 2.2) nor the old (GIMP 2.0) file open dialog; neither offers much flexibility. After looking at the dialog in jEdit (www.jedit.org), it is obvious what features are lacking. It combines the best features of a GUI and a bash shell: Like a GUI, it always shows which files are in the current directory. Like a GUI, it allows directories to be added to favorites -- so it doesn't take 250 years to get to a frequently used directory that isn't close to programs/gimp/2.0/bin. Like a bash shell (or whatever shell you folks use), it has a text input for file names that allows tab completion. Furthermore, typing part of a directory name in the current directory and hitting / takes you into that directory. Typing ../ takes you up a directory, as is logical. The filename which would be expanded if tab were pressed is always highlighted; hitting Enter when the correct filename is highlighted opens that file. I have two questions: 1) Would people like a file open dialog incorporating the above features? 2) With the above features as part of a requirement, how difficult would it be to program such a dialog? I have been programming for upwards of five years and am currently learning GTK, but I have never programmed such a dialog before. I want to see if it is something that I, given my current skill set, could do. Best regards, Matt
