2000-03-26 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> * app/gimage_mask.[ch] (gimage_mask_extract): add an "add_alpha" parameter to allow selected regions to be extracted without having an alpha channel added. * app/global_edit.c: pass add_alpha = TRUE. * app/transform_core.[ch]: made the transform core work on non-layer drawables even if no selection is present. Fixes #7485 and #7555. - transform_core_cut(): extract the mask without alpha if operating on a non-layer without having a selection. - transform_core_paste(): return a boolean indicating success instead of a layer and handle channels correctly. - transform_core_do(): if the "floating_tiles" passed to the function are from an un-floated non-layer, treat the whole non-layer as alpha channel and never enter the loop which transforms the (not present) color channels. Also clip the result to ensure that the channel never grows larger then the image. * app/tools_cmds.c * tools/pdbgen/pdb/tools.pdb: transform_core_paste() returns a gboolean now.
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,
