Re: [Gimp-user] 2.3.7 lose wacom support?

 Until recently, I had been using 2.3.3 and I could configure my
 Wacom tablet. After upgrading(?) to 2.3.7, it no longer recognizes
 that there are any extended input devices (it looks like the user
 interface for that changed, too).

 I didn't see anything in the release notes regarding Wacom support.
 Has something changed in that area?

Nope, nothing has changed in that area. The most likely cause of your
problem is that you updated GTK+ and got a version of that library
which was compiled without support for XInput.

Re: [Gimp-user] Printing success stories?

Hi,

John R. Culleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I am evaluating two products to use while waiting for Gimp to
 adopt the CMYK color model, Scribus and Krita (part of Koffice).
 Scribus is really a Quark replacement and Krita (inspired in part
 by Gimp is still in an early stage. The Krita manual says it will
 do CMYK but my copy doesn't have it yet. It is however very
 Gimp-ish in look and feel. 

I hope you are aware that using the CMYK color model is not going to
solve your print problems.  Actually for most image manipulation needs
your source images will be in an RGB color space and it is then
recommended to do all the work in RGB and to let the printer driver
care about the rest.

 Anyway, I am trying to create a relatively small (approx 20~30px

The best way to create a path that represents a perfect circle is
probably to import an SVG from a vector editor or to open the
Script-Fu console and use something like

 (gimp-path-import-string 1 ?xml?svgcircle r='20'/svg -1 0 0)

Yes, we should definitely add an easier way to do this, especially
since all the functionality for basic shapes is already available in
GIMP, it is just not exposed in any usable way.

 the answer to your question is that you need to install the gimp-python
 module.  
 
 i have no idea how to build this for XP.

It is part of the 2.3 installers. In order to be able to select it, it might
be neccessary to have Python 2.4 and a matching pygtk installed.

For now better use ellipse rx='20' ry='20' cx='20' cy='20', as Sven
found out the circle element has a bug that has just been fixed in CVS
HEAD. This will be fixed in 2.2.11.

 Yes, we should definitely add an easier way to do this, especially
 since all the functionality for basic shapes is already available in
 GIMP, it is just not exposed in any usable way.

In CVS head there also is
   (gimp-vectors-bezier-stroke-new-ellipse ...)
which could be used, but arguably the SVG import is still simpler since
it immediately creates a path object, which needs to be created manually
for -stroke-new-ellipse  first.

This will not be backported to 2.2.x, you have to wait for 2.4 to see
this in a stable release.

Simon

 I assume you have recompiled GTK+ yourself, and forgot to add
 ./configure --with-xinput=xfree
 as is mentionned on http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/gimp
 
 It took me a while to find that info...

That was it.  Now it has other problems.  It works for a while then the
buttons stop working not only on the pen but also the mouse.  The cursor
still moves.  Eventually, gimp dies and an X error is reported:
The error was 'BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device'.
I think it worked better when it thought it was just a mouse.
Now I get to figure out if it's a gimp problem, a gtk+ problem,
an xorg problem or a linuxwacom problem.

[Gimp-user] 2.3.7 needs help finding help

2006-02-22 Thread Colin Brace
Hi all,

I have 2.3.7 running now on my Ubuntu (Breezy) system. I installed it
in /opt, hence the latest stable (2.2.8) is still on my system.

I have the help subsytem installed (gimp-help-common 2+0.8-3,
gimp-helpbrowser 2.2.8-2ubuntu6, gimp-help-en 2+0.8-3), and it works
fine with 2.2.8, but 2.3.7 can' t load it.

How do I enable 2.3.7 to find its help files?

I have gimp-python 2.2.8-2 installed. I thought maybe it needed a

[Gimp-user] Twice before

Is this the wrong place to ask about using gimp?

By the evidence, not. I received your post. Are you talking B/W
or color? There are tools to change color saturation and also
grayscale curves. I am hopeful that someone more expert than I
will jump in to supplement my vague advice with real instructions.

I don't recall seeing any of them, and there are no messages from your
current identity in my mail folder.

It is the right place.


Could be that your messages got filtered out because they did get score
too high in filters like spamassasin. For example, your rather long and
non-seperated signature (-- ) could kick your messages into a user's
trashcan.

Most likely the missing headers are those for Python itself. Did you 
look for python-devel?
