[Gimp-user] Scrolling with the keyboard broken? (2.6.3 on OS X 10.5.6)
I did a cursory search to see if anyone else has this problem; apologies if I'm repeating a known bug. I've just installed 2.6.3 (I was previously running 2.4.x) using the Gimp on OS X prebuilt package. For some reason I can no longer scroll with the arrow keys. I tried resetting keyboard shortcuts; then I tried manually mapping the scroll functions to the arrow keys. Neither step helped. Nothing at all happens when I press the arrow keys. This is really slowing me down when I have to reach for the mouse to pan around a zoomed-in image. Has anyone else seen this behavior, on any platform? Any suggestions? -- Mark J.

Thank you all for your suggestions!
It took me quite a while to try everything out.
Here are some preliminary results and further questions.

It seems like a reliable and rather straightforward approach, but it is
probably a bit tedious for 30 images?

I have added the script, and tried it out. It works fine, but my images
have predefined 'print size' which is 5.5cmx5.5cm but different 'pixel
size'. So I get a matrix with images of different size. I am not sure
how to go about this problem? Can I explicitly control the size of the
input (5.5cmx5.5cm) and the output (A4,21cmx29.7cm)?

Just a quick try. I need more searching on how to do it. Do I have a
control over size as described above?

Same as above.

It is my preferred option. It seems that I can specify the size of input
and output.
I have tried the following:
montage input file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg ... file12.jpg output1.jpg
montage input file13.jpg file14.jpg file15.jpg ... file24.jpg
output2.jpg
montage input file25.jpg file25.jpg file27.jpg ... file30.jpg
output3.jpggimp-u...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu
I want to get 2 full A4 with 3x4 and one half full with 3x2
I want to specify -size geometry 5.5cmx5.5cm and -page geometry
21cmx29.7cm, -tile geometry 3x4 (and 3x2 for the last output). However
the only option is the size of the image in pixels and not cm. How to
deal with it? What would be the correct syntax?
Thank you all for your help!

Olga
