2000-03-25 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> * app/cursorutil.[ch]: new global variable "gimp_busy" which gets set/unset whenever busy cursors are added/removed. * app/info_dialog.c: register the info dialogs with the dialog handler. * app/fuzzy_select.[ch]: cleanups. Here starts the ugly workaround which simulates something like locking. If it works, it will close lots of bugs, if not, it's easy to remove again. So far, I didn't find strange side effects but Gimp is told to be a complex program :-) Please test this. * app/context_manager.c: don't allow tool changes if gimp_busy is TRUE. * app/disp_callbacks.c: don't allow mouse and key events in the display_canvas if gimp_busy is TRUE. (except if the current tool is FUZZY_SELECT and it is ACTIVE, which is very ugly) Also block other stuff like dropping colors/patterns etc. * app/gdisplay_ops.c: don't close any display while Gimp is busy. This is not really what we want but at least it prevents crashes.
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
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app
by editing the ~/.gtkrc file. Additionally GIMP reads ~/.gimp/gtkrc
so you can have settings that only apply to The GIMP.
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 http://bugs.gnome.org/db/pa/lgimp.html for
this).
Have fun,
