[Gimp-user] Gimp rebuilding user files?

2011-01-11 Thread scott s.
I started up GIMP today (2.6.11 on Win 7 x64), and got an extended pause 
and the startup windows showed "reading patterns" as best I remember.  I 
do recall in the past fooling around some trying to add a pattern file, 
but can't remember exactly what I had done.  At any rate after an 
extended period GIMP started, but configured a bit differently.  Looking 
around my system I see that the

C:\Users\\.gimp-2.6\
folder hierarchy seems to have been completely rebuilt.  Per the help 
that appears to be normal if local GIMP settings are missing or damaged. 
  But doing some mucking around, I found another copy from earlier in

C:\Users\\Appdata\Local\.gimp=2.6\

I did a compare of the two folder hierarchies, and did find a reference 
to pattern-path and pattern-path-writable in the older gimprc.  So I 
backed up the new .gimp-2.6 and copied over the older one to 
C:\Users\\, except I kept the new gimprc, and now GIMP is 
loading OK (AFAICT) with my original .gimp=2.6.

So I guess I'm wondering what happened, and where is .gimp-2.6 supposed 
to be located in a Win 7 x64 system?

LZW compression is supported when saving TIFF files (there's also a few
other compression modes available as well).

The people to whom this question was addressed know what it means (it's a
type of compression).

Lempel–Ziv–Welch Compression.

Commonly refereed to as LZW.  This is the common use term and is
perfectly acceptable to use.

[Gimp-user] Is LZW included in GIMP?

2011-01-11 Thread Mylan Connolly
Hello all,

We are looking for a method to batch process TIFF images and GIMP seems to
be able to do everything we need it for, except for one gray area I am
unsure about.  Does GIMP use LZW?  I see it as an option when saving TIFFs,
however the last information I saw (about a year old now) seems to suggest
that GIMP doesn't actually use it, yet.  I was wondering if anyone knows for
sure if this is the case or not.

The TIFF files will have to be in LZW, as we are going to import them into a
records management system that requires it to accept the files.

Thanks!
