Shouting is not necessary - it is already there:

File->Dialogs->Tools  and then toggle the visibility with the "eye"
icon.

Reordering the tool list works as well.

[Gimp-user] Feature request: Toolbox customisation

2009-01-03 Thread Kristjan Siimson
Hello,

First of all, thank you for GIMP! I have a feature request. This has been
bugging me for well over a year, yet only now I found my way around to the
mailing lists. Currently, the toolbox features no more or less than 33
different tools. I don't remember the exact theory, but there is one that
says that humans can't grasp more than 4 - 7 choices. Not sure about the
number, and it is not important here, 33 is definitely much more than that.

Most of the time when I do graphics work, I do not need 33 features. When I
do pixel art, there are only a couple tools I need. Others are just an
annoying distraction. I have never used Ink tool, and it is unlikely that I
ever will. Therefore, there should be a way to remove useless noise, a
feature TO ADD OR REMOVE TOOLS FROM TOOLBOX.

Of course, one could go even further, make tool presets, add the ability to
move icons around, but for now that is not as important as getting GEGL
implemented.

Sincerely,
Kristjan Siimson

Re: [Gimp-user] Win32: Use standard Windows File Open/Save dialog

2009-01-03 Thread Elwin Estle
I wonder if a problem I have had with saving files from Gimp in Windows is 
somehow related.  If I save direct to the local hard drive, there isn't much of 
a problem.  But if I try to save to say, a flash drive plugged into the same 
computer running Gimp, or to a network drive, then file save times get really 
long.  Yes, you expect those two situations to take a bit longer, but not that 
long.  I can save an .xcf file to the local drive and then transfer it to a 
flash drive or a network drive and it is loads faster than trying to save 
directly from Gimp. (which is what I typically do, save first to the local hard 
drive, then transfer the file to the drive I actually want to store the file 
on.)

Well, it was on registry.gimp.org until Dec. 2007 but, apparently, it
has been removed:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3908

Which is why I was surprised to hear that it's so difficult to add
this feature. ;-) No, seriously, I fully understand Martin's points
about maintainance.

I don't think I will further investigate this, since I don't see much
point in this, to be honest. Yes, we could find out what's taking
GIMP's file open dialog so long and make it be as "fast" as other GTK
applications. But I really think the time is better spent solving the
problem permanently (like implementing the above mentioned plug-in)
rather than fine-tuning something that can never be as fast as the
native OS implementation.

You can easily write such a plug-in yourself, in case there's really no
way to locate the old one. It should be a trivial plug-in to write for
someone who knows the Windows file-chooser API.

You should investigate this then. It seems rather unlikely that GIMP is
doing something with the file-chooser that could be responsible for
this. What GTK+ version are you using with GIMP and which with gedit?

Maybe the GTK library (GtkFileChooser, to be specific) could show the native
Windows dialog, if available?

One standardised file chooser can't satify all needs, but a solution is that
there are hooks and other mechanisms that allow applications to extend the
file chooser.

However this should be discussed in a GTK forum/mailing list.

Thanks for the pointer into the direction of GTK. To verify this, I've
just downloaded gedit. It seems to use the same file open dialog

Hi,

GIMP not reimplementing core OS functionality, we are using the GTK+
library so that we can care as little as possible about OS specific
things. Your point about inconsistent file choosers is still valid but I
don't really see a trivial solution. Keep in mind that GIMP's usage of
the file chooser is more involving than just firing up a dialog to get a
file path. It would not be feasible to maintain the code that interacts
with the file chooser for multiple file choosers, at least not with the
current GIMP developer resources.

There seems to be a NIH syndrome in many programs, Gimp included,
where the devs feel (possibly rightly in many cases) that they must
reimplement core OS functionality. File Chooser dialogs are among the
most visible (and annoying) of these cases. Although you use Windows,
here is my Kubuntu bug about the situation:

You should report this as a bug against GTK+ then and perhaps you will
also want to help the GTK+ developers to isolate and fix the cause for
this.

[Gimp-user] Win32: Use standard Windows File Open/Save dialog

2009-01-03 Thread Heinrich Moser
Hi!

Short question:

Is it possible to make GIMP use the "default" Windows File Open/Save
dialog*, for example, by setting some secret configuration option? I
remember that there was a plug-in for this a long time ago (which
added "Windows Open" and "Windows Save As" menu options) but I cannot
find that anymore.


Long explanation (i.e. why would I want this):

The reason that I want this is because the GIMP dialogs are terribly
slow when accessing a slow (e.g. VPN) UNC network path (=
\\IP-Address\Share\directory\...). For comparison: After choosing a
directory, GIMP takes ~20-40 seconds before showing the contents (the
dialog being unresponsive during that time). On the other hand,
Thunderbird (to use another multi-platform open-source product for
comparison) pops up the default Vista file save dialog, which shows
the directory contents almost instantly.

I'm not sure if this is a GIMP bug or not; it's quite possible that
Microsoft is doing some behind-the-scenes magic here (caching,
undocumented functions, whatever) that causes it to be a whole lot
faster than any other "custom-made" file chooser implementation. I'm
using a workaround currently (putting the network directory in
"offline mode" before using GIMP, which causes the UNC share to be
redirected to a local cache directory; and synchronizing afterwards),
but I really wish I wouldn't have to.

Greetings, TIA,
Heinzi

* e.g. by using the GetOpenFileName/GetSaveFileName API functions

I verified the crashes with the Fedora 10 version of Gimp 2.6.3.

The Fedora version does not use the poppler plugin for PDF import,
although it mentions poppler-devel with the build requirements. It
uses a ghostscipt plugin instead. This plugin crashes on specific
imports.

It turns out to be a missing requirement. The build needs
poppler-devel AND poppler-glib-devel. The latter is not listed
with the build requirements.

I'll file a bug report with Fedora, and rebuild my kits.

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

Since there have been no changes in the GIMP code that could explain
this, you should have a look at the build process. Looks like you did
not build the poppler plug-in.

2.6.3.

As a start, I noticed a different PDF import dialog[1]. 2.6.3 shows
thumbnails of all PDF pages, 2.6.4 shows a simple dialog where to
enter the resolution and the page number. When I do this, I get the
following error:

  Calling error for procedure 'gimp-image-undo-enable':
  Procedure 'gimp-image-undo-enable' has been called with an invalid
  ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on
  an image that doesn't exist any longer. 

  Opening '/home/jv/tmp/week01.pdf' failed: PDF document plug-In could
  not open image 

Any hints where to start looking?

[1] Note that this could be caused by a change in build spec. For
2.6.3 I used the Fedora 8 build spec, for 2.6.4 I used the Fedora 10
build spec.

Hi,

The Foreground Select Tool is based on the Free Select Tool and you are
supposed to select the initial area using the Free Select Tool logic.
Refer to the (not updated for 2.6) documentation:
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-foreground-select.html
