You may need to browse documentation a bit more and find out whether there are differences compared with GIMP's own .pat file format, as it used to be a plugin that could open Photoshop .pat files in that pattern dialog: http://registry.gimp.org/node/10879 I don't know what may have changed since then. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: opening xxx.pat files
Not knowing where you got the .pat file, I have to say that pat files can mean many things. for example some logic analyzers use the .pat extension for their capture files. Many mainframe and PXI bus testers use .pat as the extension on digital files used to represent the 1's and 0's sent to a device undertest. Some digital simulators use a .pat extension to show the 1's and 0's used for vhdl analysis. Some of these .pat files are text, but many are saved as binary bit patterns due to the encoding required to represent the states of a digital pin: "x" receive, but data invalid "H" for the high or 1 state of a pin. "L" for the receive low or 0 state of a pin. "1" for driving a 1 to the pin "Z" for the high z state, where the pin is essentially open. "0" for the drive low or 0 to the pin. Some tester capabilities have other codes which make the patterns very difficult to resolve. Regards, Les H.

Examine the contents by installing ghex2 hexdump and Also try: file myfilename Quite often markers are found within the first 16 bytes or so. Maybe post the first 10 lines only of ghex2 output, someone may recognise the format.. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

opening xxx.pat files
Hi, I got a file with suffix .pat (the extension is a Pattern Image file) and, for what I could know, this kinde of files are used with photoshop... II haven't photshp, so I looked for knowing how to open this file, and the only suggestion that I found was to try (in Linux environment) with GIMP. I hadn't success in this way, (using GIMP) so I would ask what other I can try ...

What does the "file" command say about the .pat file?
$ file *.pat
In file's "magic" file (/usr/share/file/magic)
these comments appear:
# XCF: file(1) magic for the patterns used in the GIMP (.pat),
# # developed by Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis
# # ('Bucky' LaDieu, n...@vt.edu)
So maybe it is a gimp pattern file and not something from photoshop.

Re: opening xxx.pat files
I downloaded this file (in the .zip format) looking for resources to use in HTML pages. In this way, I am sure that this file contains "textures and backgrounds" to use for building web sites. *Inside this file should to be stored "in some way" some graphic components...* On Internet I read that .pat suffix is the format of PhotoShop.. On Internet I also got suggestion that, in order to use this file, it is possible to change his format to .bmp, through programs of "format conversion" ..., but this is not easy to do and, without a little experience, it is possible to do damages... 1 Looking in the properties of this file it is wrote : "*Binary (application/octet-stream)*" 2 --- The output of GIMP (when it refuse to open the file) is : *Opening '/data-common/resources/web-pages_DECORATIONS/free-paper-patterns.pat' failed:GIMP pattern plug-In could not open image* 3 --- The command line "file" give this output : [angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ sudo file free-paper-patterns.pat free-paper-patterns.pat: *data* -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
