2000-02-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi> * libgimp/gimp.def * libgimp/gimpui.def * libgimp/makefile.{cygwin,msc} * app/makefile.{cygwin,msc} * plug-ins/makefile.{cygwin,msc}: Updates. * app/datafiles.c (is_script): New Win32-only function, which tests if a file's extension matches one of the extensions in the PATHEXT environment variable (which the cmd.exe command interpreter also uses). This is to avoid starting applications associated with any random data file the user might have dropped in the plug-ins folder, while still supporting plug-ins written in scripting languages. * app/gimpparasite.c (gimp_parasiterc_save): (Win32:) Cannot rename to an existing file. * plug-ins/Lighting/lighting_image.c * plug-ins/Lighting/lighting_share.c * plug-ins/MapObject/mapobject_preview.c * plug-ins/MapObject/mapobject_shade.c: Use G_PI. * plug-ins/common/gz.c: #ifdef G_OS_WIN32 was used before its potential definition via glib.h. * plug-ins/common/jpeg.c: Also recognize Exif files, which are typically produced by digital cameras. The usually have a .jpg file name extension, and would thus already match this plug-in, but add the magic string just in case. They are loaded just fine by libjpeg even if they don't have the JFIF signature. * plug-ins/common/tiff.c: Set TIFF warning and error handler, so we get to pass libtiff's messages through the normal channels.
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,
