[Gimp-user] Tool select
I am able to select a tool and use it on the image. However I can not deselect the tool. I close the dialog box but the tool icon is still in the image. I can change to another tool but I still cannot close one so that there is no icon in the image. The fuzzy select regions was particularly annoying. I have read and reread the documentation but cannot find the answer. How do I get rid of the tool icon when done with it? I am just starting to use GIMP. I have partially restored one black and white photo so far. It looks like it will be a rewarding challenge Thanks, ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The GIMP will always have exactly one active tool. The default tool is the rect select tool - perhaps this is what you are expecting? Perhaps a no-op tool might be an idea (a pointer that does nothing except point). I'n not sure... Anyway, it doesn't currently exist :) Thanks for the info. I was afraid that with an active tool that I was not really using that I might accidently mess up the image. I feel better now that I understand what is going on.

[Gimp-user] Cleaning slides
I have some 40 year old 35mm slides and negatives that have mildew on them. What is the best way to clean them? I hope this is not OT. Thanks, Gary ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I ended up using "lpr" and it worked. I have a HPdeskjet using printer model "PostScript Level 2". With my limited printer knowledge, I don't think I have Cups installed. At least I don't remember configuring it. Don't even know how to check. Hope this helps. Gary ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'm using the command lpr -l -P to print from Gimp. Try 'lpr-cups' instead of 'lpr' in case your symlinks aren't set correctly. If you are using Postscript Level 2 on Gimp, you have to choose the correct PPD file for your printer, and use the command lpr -P to print. JR Thanks for the info. I am using ML10.0 and lpr does point to lpr-cups. However, I can print just using "lpr" without the PPD file or lpr -P plus the PPD file. I am using Postscript level 2. I did not notice any change in the printing results. One other thing I can't figure out is how to change the margins. They appear to be preset and will not get samller. For example, I have .5" set on the left and it will not decrease. Also the "media type", "media source", "inktype" and "resolution" are blanked out.

[Gimp-user] Print multiple photos
I have been searching for a way to print 4 photos at the same time on a sheet of photo paper using gimp and gimp print. I find that if I print them one at a time the mechanical part of the printer scratches the photos already printed. Is there any possible solution?

[Gimp-user] Thumbnail viewer
I am looking for a thumbnail viewer that will show my .xcf gimp files in a directory without going into gimp. I tried Gthumb and GQview. Imagemagic is beyond my command line capability. I especially like the slide show capability of Gthumb. Gary ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Thumbnail viewer
Sven Neumann wrote: Hi, GIMP creates thumbnails according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard. Any application that adheres to this standard should be able to show you thumbnails for images that GIMP created (in whatever format). I forgot to add that GThumb belongs to that category. It shows thumbnails that GIMP created just fine. I am using gthumb 2.4.1 here. Sven This has been a bad day. Nothing worked. With my limited knowledge of Gimp and Gthumb I am totally confused. First I was unable to upgrade Gthumb to 2.4 from 2.2. I tried an rpm and tar. Also I do not understand about gimp creating thumbnails. When I open a .xcf file using gimp I can make a thumbnail. I also see the thumbnail in Document history. However there is no thumbnail when I try to open the same xcf file in gthumb. It shows a size of 0x0 pixels and 266k bytes. I use gimp mostly for photo editing and am just a novice at that. Perhaps I am in the wrong forum for a thumbnails discussion. Thanks for your time.

Linux GIMP wrote: Talking about thumbnail viewers: First off, I have also searched for a thumbnail viewer that will show xcf files. I have GThumb installed (Gentoo box) and it does not show my xcf file thumbnails. I have searched for any type of settings/preferences dialogue but found nothing. I would also kill for a viewer which can read bzipped files. I have huge tiff files which I scan in then manipulate. I keep in originals int tif.bz2 format. The "open file" dialogue box is the only thingy I have found capable of generating & showing a thumbnail of these files. Any suggestions or hits with the stupid stick that you can send my way? As ever I am grateful. Adrain I stumbled on Nautilus. A program that shows the thumbnails once I create them in the "open file" dialogue box. I can now see a whole directory of thumbnails. Nautilus might be the file manager for gnome. Gary ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Linux GIMP wrote: You are correct that Nautilus is a file manager for Gnome. I have it installed and just played around with it. It shows thumbnails for neither xcf files nor tif.bz2 files, even though I have created thumbnails for those images in Gimp via the "open file" dialogue box. But you say this works on your system?? So I wonder what could be the difference . . . I am using kde 3.2.3 and ML 10.0. I have a sub directory called "family" that has 85 files consisiting of jpg and xcf files. All but three showed thumbnails. 2 xcf and 1 jpg file did not. Why I have no idea. I also have a .xvpics subdirectory in this "family" subdirectory that has jpg and xcf files. Where it came from or what it is supposed to do I have no idea. Nautilus said the files were of an unknown format. Sorry I could not be of furthur help. My knowledge is limited to trial and error.

[Gimp-user] Gimp-print border
I am using gimp 2.0.4 with gimp-print 4.2. Mandrake 10.1 with an hpdeskjet 5550. Off and on for the past year I have tried to figure out how to change the default margins in gimp-print. I have searched, googled read the archives and have not found a way to change the default margins. I particulary find the .5 left margin troublesome. I have the latest HP driver installed. I hope there is an easy solution. I have lots of pictures with uneven borders. Thanks Gary ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Gimp print
I have installed gimp 2.2.7 on Mandriva 2005LE. Gimp works fine except I do not have a print capability. I tried to install gimpprint 4.2.7 rpm however it wants libgimp 1.2.so. Print worked OK with an earlier 2.2 version of gimp and ML 10.1. I see there is now a gutenprint. Should I try to to configure gimpprint from source? Comments appreciated.

Is that the only 4.2.7 RPM you can find for your system? I installed gutenprint 5.0 from Mandriva cooker and I am now able to print.
