Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8 per Windows, problem with the color picker
DSunhammer wrote Hello friends, it's 2014 and i just updated gimp to 2.8.10 from 2.8.2 and am still getting issue with ALL COLOR PICKERS linked from any of the dialogs. The color picker always returns black color regarless of where you click. I am on RDP, Win7 x64 Slovak. This really makes Gimp useless. The very basic GUI color picker works well when somewhat inconveniently switching from my present tool to the color picker tool. Hotkeys sort of solve this. Thankfully, holding down 'Control' (in Windows/Linux) results in the color picker temporarily popping up before reverting to present tool upon release of the key. But one of the absolute best ways to pick color has been clicking on the present colors to get the color dialogue, so you can work with the pallet and get any visible on-screen color, which is one of the most amazing and useful tools built into 2.6 that *is lost* in 2.8, according to some. Like DSunhammer, I have the same bug — where (I guess) someone simply forgot to change the present selection to the color detected. It just makes the present selection pure black #00. So close to being useful! Otherwise, pretty great work on the new version in all other aspects, and I look forward to the next version where hopefully our great in-dialog color picker returns! (Any chance for a patch?) -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/GIMP-2-8-per-Windows-problem-with-the-color-picker-tp14083p43256.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

So close to being useful! Could be bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676708, depending on your platform (it as been reported for and confirmed on Windows XP). There's also some other bug report with this symptom in the bug tracker.

If it is that bug, then there's a patch attached to it - to cairo. Not sure if the cairo developers have applied it yet. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
