Re: [Gimp-user] Placement of pasted selections

 Tristan Miller did write;

  Say I have two images of the same size (9952×7016) open.  I select an
  arbitrary region from the first image and Edit-Copy it.  Then I
  switch to the second image and Edit-Paste.  Unfortunately, GIMP seems
  to put the selection wherever it wants; I would rather it appear in
  the exact same place as in the original image.  Since the images are
  so big, it's difficult for me to drag the selection with the mouse to
  the exact spot it should appear.  Is there some way I can modify
  GIMP's default selection placement behaviour?

 I think this is repeatable


 1. Image 1 - Make selection
 2. Selection to Path
 3. Export Path
 4. Go to second Image, make new tranparent layer
 5. Import Path
 6. Path to Selection
 7. Go to image one and cut out selection
 8. Go to image 2, paste into transparent layer

 That places it in exactly the same spot as in image one


Isn't there a simpler way? Like select, cut, paste.

 It is very likely that you have not installed the development
 packages on your system (probably called gtk-devel, gimp-devel
 or something similar).  These packages contain the header files
 such as gtk.h that are necessary for compiling programs.

 If you have these files because you have compiled and installed
 these libraries from sources, then you may have to tell
 pkg-config where to find them (using PKG_CONFIG_PATH).

Still haven't been able to compile refocus.

[Gimp-user] paste problem

[wayne]

When I cut from one layer and paste to another, GIMP pastes the selection 
in the center of the image instead of the same position where I cut it 
from on the previous layer. Is there a configuration switch somewhere that 
would change this behavior?

Thanks,

 I woul dlike to do this with all my pictures in an automatic batch job. Ho

 If there is another nice Linux program, then this would also be ok for me

Take a look at Digikam:

It can handle batch processes, though perhaps not as fast as a command line

I installed the GimpShop rpm from a link on the page below and it worked for 
my Mandrake 10.1 system. It's uses Gimp version 2.2.4.

It's a hacked version of Gimp but seems to have all of the functionality and 
new features of Gimp. Just enter gimp to start it.

 Yeah, you're right but what concerns me is this kind of interface will

 looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... you get the idea. :)

 I wonder if this will actually go anywhere.  :)

One thing good about GimpShop is that I am now able to run Gimp 2.2.4. Have 
not been able to install a RPM successfully till now.

 You move it to the desired location once, and it will remeber this

 Win32.

Well, I've been moving it all over the screen each time I use crop and
