This gives an outline of the location of the current view on an image. Eg if your image window is only showing part of an image then the Window Navigation window will outline the area viewed. You can "drag" the outlined square around the viewport and the main image will scroll. Additional a single click outside the square will center the image at that location. Also started to add additional information to a new page inside the Window information dialog (currently only pixel value is shown). Both these features are currently work in progress and unfinished. In particular the Navigator does not keep in step with changes to the basic image (however it does keep in step with image size changes and if you modify the size of the image viewing window). It also does not display the transparent areas of images very nicely.
The GIMP: the GNU Image Manipulation Program
--------------------------------------------
This is an unstable release of the GIMP, intended for developers only.
For production use, please use the 1.0.x series.
The GIMP's home page is at
http://www.gimp.org
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
The automated plug-in registry is located at
http://registry.gimp.org
There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins using a convenient
forms-based interface.
We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
discussion. To subscribe, send mail to
majordomo@scam.xcf.berkeley.edu
and in the body of the message put
subscribe <list-name> your@email.address
substituting <list-name> for "gimp-user" or "gimp-developer" (without
the quotes, of course) depending on the list you want to subscribe
to. The mailing list archives can be found at
http://www.findmail.com/listsaver/gimp-developer/
http://www.findmail.com/listsaver/gimp-user/
Gimp-user is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer is oriented to
GIMP core and plug-in developers. Most people will only want to be
subscribed to gimp-user.
And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
the GIMP :-) On Byxnet (a private mostly-GIMP network) there is #gimp.
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the Byxnet servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
You can customize the look of the interface quite a bit my editing the
~/.gimp/gtkrc file. A sample file, gtkrc.forest, is included (Thanks to
Tuomas Kuosmanen)
Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop (tm).
You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file to
~/.gimp/menurc
We sincerely hope you enjoy the program. Please report problems to
bugs@gimp.org. Before reporting a problem, you may want to see if someone
else has already did (check the http://www.wilberworks.com/bugs.cgi for
this).
Have fun,
