[vox-tech] gimp question

2002-01-23 Thread Peter Jay Salzman

is there a way to define a short cut or macro with gimp?

i use the enhance filter alot, for when i resize pictures.  is there a
way to map, say, control-E to this filter?

also, is there a way to make gimp show more of the image when you're
using the enhance filter?  it shows a very small portion.  hard to
believe anyone would find the little tiny portion of the upper left hand
corner useful when figuring out how much to sharpen the image by.

Open the menu with that command, place the mouse over it, and press
the key combo. you want mapped to it.  You'll see the menu change,
right before your eyes! :)

This is a fairly standard GTK-ism, by the way.


Another thing you can do is pop the menu open into its own window.

Get to the menu you want and then click the little dashed line which
appears at the top of the menu.

Voila!  The menu will appear in it's own real window, which will remain
open until you specifically close it (either with a window manager close
(eg, the X button at the top left or top right, depending on the
manager and theme chosen), or click the dashed line at the top of the
menu in its window).

Sharpen, for example, doesn't appear to have any way to 'zoom out'...
you're stuck previewing your enhancement at a 1:1 (100%) zoom.

But, there ARE scrollbars, so you'll be able to pan around and see
what various pars of the image will look like.


I do admit it is quite silly that, while you CAN resize the Sharpen
dialog window, the preview doesn't expand to fit. :^(

BTW, this is a GTK+-ism, as well.  Qt has a similar feature, as well,
as do some other, older GUI toolkits.  (I forget which, though...
they often have a 'thumbtack' ('pushpin') icon at the top of the menu)

Re: [vox-tech] Wireless ethernet trobleshooting.

All the Mac machines at work seem to do this too.  Looks like it's not 
just Microsoft that defaults to the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.


 The original idea is claimed to be ease of use for end users (home 
 users) in that setting up mulitple systems at home and they will be 
 able to 'talk' to each other as they will be in the same IP network.

I haven't played much with wireless on the linux side yet, although
I will once I get my ISA PCMCIA adapter to turn my firewall into an
access point. Anyway... you might want to download software from
www.netsumbler.com if you have windows on a system. It would have shown
you that ESSID and the channel you are on, not to mention your 
neighbors'.

It's fun to ride through town with it. On my way to Mishka's I found
5 or 6 networks. :)

Anyone live on the east side over near the Nugget like me? I'd like
an excuse to try building one of those pringles can antennas.
