1999-10-03 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> The GIMP Help System part II: press "F1" while browsing a menu to show the help page for the menu entry you're currently over with the mouse. * app/color_notebook.c: all color selectors have to register with a help page now. * app/color_select.[ch]: register with a help string. Removed the dialog part of the files because it's use was deprecated anyway (use color notebooks instead). * app/colormap_dialog.i.c * app/colormap_dialog.p.h * app/palette.c * app/palette_select.c: use a color notebook instead of a color selector. * app/gimphelp.c * app/gimpui.c: minor changes. * app/gimprc.c: "use help" defaults to TRUE now. * app/lc_dialog.c * app/lc_dialogP.h: a special help function which shows the help for the currently selected notebook page. * app/menus.c: some weird code which catches "key_press_event" in all menu shells and pops up the corresp. help page for the selected item. Embedded the GtkItemFactoryEntry in a new GimpItemFactoryEntry to allow a help path to be stored. Will be partially exported and moved to gimphelp.[ch] later to catch key_press for plug-in menu items (don't try this now ;-) * app/app_procs.c * app/brush_edit.c * app/brush_select.c * app/channel_ops.c * app/channels_dialog.c * app/commands.c * app/convert.c * app/devices.c * app/file_new_dialog.c * app/fileops.c * app/gdisplay.c * app/gdisplay_color.c * app/gdisplay_color_ui.c * app/gdisplay_ops.c * app/global_edit.c * app/gradient.c * app/gradient_select.c * app/interface.c * app/layers_dialog.c * app/module_db.c * app/paths_dialog.c * app/pattern_select.c * app/preferences_dialog.c * app/qmask.c * app/resize.c * app/undo_history.c: changed all dialog constructors to point to the right place in the new help file structure. * configure.in * help/*: the basic new help file structure. * modules/colorsel_gtk.c * modules/colorsel_triangle.c * modules/colorsel_water.c: register a help page. * plug-ins/helpbrowser/helpbrowser.c: load the help files according to the new help file structure.
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,
