Re: [Gimp-user] smooth fine stroke

Try stoking your path using Paintbrush as the method. Before doing that, select the paintbrush tool, and pick a 1px round brush. See if that works for you. It produces very smooth output for me.

[Gimp-user] The best way to make a rounded corner box with a border
Lately, I've been thinking whether the way I make bordered boxes with rounded corners is the best one or if I'm missing something essential. The way I do it is: 1. Use the rounded rectangle selection to make a rectangle. 2. Fill it with the color I want the border to have. 3. Shrink the selection by as many pixels as I want the border to take up. 4. Fill the new selection with the box background color. What ways are there to accomplish it? Are there any cons to using the method I use? I'm asking because I recently wrote a little Script-Fu for doing just this, since I do it so often. -- Deniz Dogan ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Notes of the GIMP BOF meeting at the LGM 2010
Hi all. Thanks to all attendants to the LGM 2010, it was a tremendous conference, I enjoyed it a lot. And thanks to the organizers for coming up with the note taking service: for our GIMP BOF agnez did jot down what was discussed, thanks a lot for this. I mostly left the notes unedited, except for filling in some missing names. If you attended the BOF please feel free to fill in stuff you feel is missing, and if one of the non-attendants wants to have some clarification, please ask on the mailinglist. Thanks, Simon annual gimp developer meeting organizational meeting collecting topics agenda - decide about future gimp website www.gimp.org not updated any more... and other sites - improve to get non developers involved - merchandising, gimp brand - introduce google summer of code project - coming gimp releases, generic chat about releases - group photo introductions - Michael [schumaml], building gimps on windows admin german gimp forum, taking care about agenda, organise summer of code... - Peter [guiguru], interaction architect, effort of renovating gimp ui, multiprocess - Alexia [Death], estonia, paint tools, - Simon [nomis], 13 years gimp involvement, no current projects - Tobias [tobi], gimp user since 1.2, moderator german gimp forum - Alexander [prokudine], using since99, technical support for russian users , russian documentation - Agnez, note taker - Tor [tml], finnalnd, no gimp involvement, gtk on windows - Øyvind [pippin], gegl project - Lukáš, krita, here for steeling gimp ideas - Boudewijn, krita, here to see how gimp community works - Michael [Bat`O] student, contributing code - Joao, trying to keep functionalities - Akkana [akk], user support, writing books about gimp - Jakub [jimmac], not involved for over a year, getting into the dialogue -- future of gimp websites www.gimp.org, current release announced there is not up to date. the site is running on a replacement system, parts of the site are broken for several months, not going to be fixed on the actual server, - same problem for wiki, spammed and not maintained, down now - needed: new server, rent server service, no problem to pay, dedicated server, - needed: admin or maintainer is needed paying someone full time is not foreseen, no one feels responsible for taking care of this problem at the moment - site maintainer needed - hard deadline needed? - who owns the domains? - Shawn Amundson, old gimp member, can be asked to redirect or create sub-domains without problem ?? set up a gimp foundation? there was a call for ideas and actions, no feedback came fo that idea domain name should be owned by a foundation - problem that Shawn owns the domain name? no problem per se, it worked fine for yeas, but would be more appropriate via gimp foundation. money is not a problem, flow of donations is large, need to figure out how to spend it. the money is there for a sysadmin - hardware is more pressing problem than domain name discussion - dedicated server - existing custom build system for the websites - buying hardware, or renting server, not important - what hosting company? what software? - hi traffic shouldn't be a problem, good quality hosting needed, not choosing the cheapest!!! ?? who is going to lead the web projects? traditionally : if someone starts to take a responsibility many will follow and take decisions. - alexia can take over some responsibilities, has been doing some of [admin work] before, take care of technical part - organizing migration to new technical hardware - who asks Shawn about dns matters. joao can take care of that? - choosing a hosting provider, do we care about the hosting country? no us. export regulations autralia? what can be taken of the site? what is going to be maintained? some parts have been sleeping for a while www top priority registry.gimp.org for uploading scripts and other resources. has been started by someone not close to gimp community but working good. has been drowned by it's success, heavy to use, ?? www.gimp.org running on a cms system? we need internationalization!! more system admin work? no complicated roles for contributers!! blocking everywhere take out the static part, throw away the python part, making adding news easy dynamic and localize site that can involve people into gimp (content contributors)? cms can be pain in the a**, but the actual site (git) is to technical for many contributors cms is going to get hacked, dock books plain html is blocking people, keep it as simple as possible basic machinery of the site should be founded in simple html, wikis etc can be connected to it.use git for contributing site going to stay static jakub volunteering for taking care of the website moderator access actually maintained by ingo (not present) also taking care of content cleanup ask him how the admin works, who has access to what? how is maintaining working? requirement set registry as a one click install site what happens if server crashes? there are
