[Gimp-user] Batch save as with *baseline* encoding
I want to be able to view my photos on my new LG dvd player; however it only recognises the *Baseline* encoding. I can of course manually open each jpg, do a 'save as' with the 'Force baseline JPEG' option and overwrite the original using the same filename. But obviously it would be nice to use the command line to do a batch of jpg's al at the same time. Is this possible? (also recursively thru child directories).

[Gimp-user] Logitech Trackman
Does anyone know if the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman works ok under Linux - especially with The Gimp (I can't afford a tablet :-()? I'm not sure how many buttons it has - looks like about 6 or 7. How does one drag and drop (ie. moving a graphic around inside a graphic) using a trackball - does the *lock* button work, or does one have to struggle holding the *left* button down whilst moving the trackball?

Blessings, Nigel Ridley *** Nigel, I think you will find the trackball works just fine under Linux. I have used the Logitech Optical trackball before without problems, although it was not the cordless model. The mice work ok, so should the trackball. One thing I am not sure about though. You may not like the trackball for drawing and such. It is kinda cumbersome to use for such things in my experience. The mouse works better for drawing and of course, the tablet the best, if you can afford one.

That's why I asked about the *locking* button.

[Gimp-user] USB scanner, Xsane and Gimp
Hi all, I know this isn't exactly Gimp stuff - but I am trying to access my new USB scanner through the Gimp: File - Acquire - Xsane: Device dialog and I figured that lots of you guys must have already set up a USB scanner :-) Anyway, I've done a lot of google-ing but so far have been unable to find out how to set it up. When I re-booted the system (I installed a new sound card - SBLive [which I'm still trying to get working]) the usb modules loaded ok and I have an entry /dev/usb/scanner0 (-rw-rw-rw-). However, when I try to access it from within the Gimp (or thru Xsane), I get an error message that no devices are available. I did do a 'sane-find-scanner -v' and got the following: sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usb/scanner0... open ok, vendor and product ids were identified sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04a5, product = 0x20b0) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 Do I have to mount the scanner first- if so what do I put in /etc/fstab? Or is it that I have to make the system think that it is a scsi device?

So I promptly went to XMMS's website and downloaded the RPM that would add in the MP3 decoder (it's only the encoder's that the patent holders want), and I read at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html: Unisys does not require licensing, or fees to be paid, for non-commercial, non-profit GIF-based applications, including those for use on the on-line services. Concerning developers of software for the Internet network, the same principle applies. Unisys will not pursue previous inadvertent infringement by developers producing versions of software products for the Internet prior to 1995. The company does not require licensing, or fees to be paid for non-commercial, non-profit offerings on the Internet, including Freeware. The email reply that I got from Unisys informed me that I needn't pay the license fee so long as the gif was created with an app that HAD paid the license fee - such as PaintShop. Unfortunately The Gimp doesn't have a license and so the problem. They were adamant that if I manipulated or created gif's using The Gimp that I would need to purchase a license. That was only 2 months ago!! I guess they changed it. *shrugs* Either way, I need the animation ability (unless there is now a MNG plugin (basically an animated PNG form what I understand) for GIMP) of a GIF (I'm trying to make a logo similar to what I have at http://jan-jr-ent.homelinux.org except WAY smaller (only like 100x50 pixels)).

[Gimp-user] Problems with Mandrake 9.0
Hi all, Has anybody else experienced problems when trying to change the color of individual pixels when creating or editing a graphic? When I try to change the color of individual pixels using the pencil ( with the smallest *point*) the pixel may or may not actually change; sometimes, actually quite often, the pixels are changed in a seemingly random order, substituting the surrounding pixels instead of the one that I clicked on (if I drag the pencil, then blocks of pixels are randomly changed). This also happens when using the eraser tool. It is not an actual problem with The Gimp because if I minimise, then restore the graphic's window then the actual changes made are seen rather than the *apparent* changes as seen when working on the graphic. It would seem then that the problem is a rendering one rather than a bug in The Gimp itself. I have the exact same problem on my laptop (also with Mandrake 9.0) - so it's not a problem with the video card - but never experienced it before using Mandrake 8.2 on either computer. Maybe I could install The Gimp from source in a directory of it's own away from Mandrake's installation and therefore avoiding the rendering issues - would this solve the problem? If so how do I do it and satisfy all the dependency requirements? cheers, Nigel Ridley.
