I already responded to this.

I will include this script from ofnuts in the mix. Please note that there is also another bevel2_1.py plugin which is quite different from this one.

ok, I copied my brushes, scripts, and py files and they are all showing up fine in mcgimp 8.2.3. Now I have a flyer to finish, I'll let you know if I run into any problems. I am now getting used to mcgimp 8 so I may actually get brave enough to eliminate earlier versions, lol. Oh, about x11...I am using Snow Leopard and it has x11 in it. Perhaps Mountain Lion doesn't???? Just a thought because of the error message that Akky got.

*edit...
oh no, the alphabetically sorted lists are no more...back to the jumbled up lists.

Thanks for testing!

I already know about the sort issue. I will fix it before the release hopefully tonight if I get a green light from you and Pauline. I think WW is on vacation or something.

how about Cyrilshark...he uses a mac.
oh, and I again lost my resizing ability for gimp. Could it be related to something in one of the scripts I copied to the new folder? It was after that when it happened.

It's possible. I would stay away from any script/python plug-in that rearranges my screen.

Have you tried to do the following? Just grab the edge of the screen (if it's visible) and drag it with your mouse/mousepad?

it will not grab to move shorter, but will grab to go narrower. the little black lines in the lower right hand corner used to be 3 lines, now there is only one tiny line.

I'm having fun using the new version except for those things I mentioned...now I am off to see if that script is going to work for me. oh and yes...the grabbing of the corner and dragging it out is a bit of a prob for me but its not a primary one....it seems to be a problem with all three builds I have tried so not peculiar to one or the other. Just for the record...at the moment, I only have one version installed on this desktop and it is my personal preference over the others.

just found a lil problem which could be operator error but I have never seen it happen before...I had a transparent layer upon which I had put a normal gradient from top to bottom in a straight line... and then added some text to it in the usual manner...however I couldnt switch between layers as both layers were faded in the toolbox layer dialogue, so neither could be hilighted either...really weird for me...I ended up quitting out of GIMP and rebooting it...all normal again now!!! *shrugs*

Hi...no wasn't on vacation. I was staring at a wall.

Good New/Bad News...

It crashed first time out but then started up 2nd time. Crash log in your PM Partha.

I added all my brushes and gradients and want nots from the Gimp Paint Studio. No major hiccups.

I added back all the .scm files I've added for the last few months. No major hiccups.

Good news, was damn glad to see the G'mic and Filter scripts load in on top the of the Gimp Gui window. However, once it loads, the Gimp window auto hides? It flat out swaps behind another app I have open. I have to command-tab to quickly switch back. This happens before I hit "ok" on the filter window. The filter window simply loads on top the Gimp and secs later, Gimp hides. I hit "ok" on the filter and then do the command-tab thing to see the results.

Great to see the filter/G'mic thing load on top! You'll iron it out eventually! Thanks for updating your build so quickly Partha, you caught me off guard lol.

So far no crashes, other than the one mentioned just after adding the app.

Thanks you guys!! I think it's ready to release despite these hiccups?

I don't understand why it does not let you grab the corner to resize.

Can you move the dock to the right side of the screen and then resize?

my Dock is always down the left hand side of my screen.

I was seeing something similar in PC_Lab's 2.8.2 windows version. Preferences window was wider than screen width and could not be resized narrower.

I think (for me) it depended on which theme was enabled. Choosing a different theme seemed to enforce a different narrower + less high minimum size. It still has a minimum size but is usable with my screen resolution. Could it be similar problem here?

Thanks Alec. That's a good point.

However, 2-ton was able to change the screen size before she added some scripts/plug-ins. But it's worth a try.

I did run across an odd little buglet. Sometimes, not every time, when I use the scale tool, the first time I click on that layer, the scale grid is super big and not necessarily centered on the layer. Then when I change tools and then go back to scale, it works perfectly, with the grid properly set on top of the layer at the current layers size. It can also be corrected just by clicking on the workspace a second time. Not a big deal, just odd.

That is weird! Can you make notes and outline your exact steps next time this happens?

Thanks 2-ton!

yeah, and I am not sure it's a problem today, I think it happened when I had the layers different sizes. sometimes I think reloading gimp fixes little bugs that are not really bugs....but I think I will go back to the previous version right now, the messed up lists are driving me crazy, it takes forever to find brushes or scripts when they are not alphabetized.

Sorry about that. It was an oversight.

But thanks again for testing. I will release soon.

the sorting is driving me nuts too..sorry partha and as for that other thing let it go for another time. I have.

no rush Partha, it's my own fault for putting in all my acquired brushes, patterns, and scripts, lol. I should have kept it as it was, and it would not have been a problem! Anyway, I am excited for the release. I will try and see if I can replicate the sizing thing, even though it's not really a problem.

ok, I got screen shots with the odd sizing...it only seems to happen the first time I use scale tool in a project.

first shot is the first time I used scale tool to resize the musical notes layer. When this happens, it is not always skinny, sometimes it's huge, but you can see the size the layer actually is by the yellow boundary...it seems like gimp picks arbitrary numbers to put into the scale window. It is very easy to fix, you just click cancel and then click the layer again.


This is the screen shot after I cancel the scaling and re-click the layer with the scale tool selected. Perfect! And then when I go to scale other layers, it still works perfectly. Go figure.
