Hi, Linux only understands linear time. Linux thinks the newly created files are actually older - as say they are. (Since every file has a creation time and modification time stored, and in your case would appear to be set in the future). Since it has decided all the files are upto date, it

Hi all, Assume 3600 seconds per hour, and 1000 images. The average time per image could not exceed 3.6 seconds per hour available. The sheer quantity of images could require a creative solution. I think GIMP could do it, but that would depend on being able to use a single GIMP session for th

Hi, Yes... but could be slow. If you run GIMP in batch mode then GIMP loads itself again for each instance. This explains the frequent mention of ImageMagic for batch image conversion. What is your function? Webcounters can be done with a function in PHP. You create a single image with you

If the gimp executable is installed at '/usr/bin', and you compile the developer sources then the newer version should appear by default at '/usr/local/bin'. This can be changed with the '--prefix=' ./configure option when compiling from sources. To run the old excutable just type '/usr/bin/g

Start with text at a resolution which is greater than your needs. E.g. if you want a block of text to be 1000 pixels by 100, then create text at 4000 by 400. Next rotate, blur slightly, and then scale the image down. Four times greater in each dimension would produce great results, but would

Hi Andrew, If you make a compile attempt, and it fails then you go and fix the problem. Right? Of course you do, but when it fails the second time round then try a 'make clean' before reattempting the process - and then reextract the archive. I'll try and find more time later to think about

You extract the new source over the older ones? You gave some of the output of the make, this indicates some of the source is not being remade. Try using 'make clean' before using 'make', this might sort things out. Having said that, I have seen this problem dicussed somewhere before. Jonath

Assuming your screen is 800/600 you probably need to find the correct display drivers for the graphics chipset. A LCD driver will probably only have one screen resolution configured, so trying to chang mode with CTRL-ALT-NUM+ will not work. The difference between CRTs and LCD TFTs was compared
