OK, first let me say that I use Gimp all the time.......... IN LINUX. I'm trying to install Gimp 2.6.12 on a Win 7 machine for a friend. The installation went fine, but for some odd reason there is only the default dialogs panel on the left, but none on the right. When I try to open the layers dialog or any other dialog, absolutely nothing happens. Was there something else that needed to be installed prior to installing Gimp? I'm going to assume no since one dialog is already open.
My open dialog box is messed up, as the Enable: is always set to nothing! I do have an althernate plug-in dir set in preferences (I do not want to reinstall all my 3rd party plugs from CS 5.1!) So what to do? If I remove the old plug dir from preferences, I loose my plugs but get Enable to work right!
I would like to see consistent behaviour between dialogs. For me, probably the dialog that I use the most is the File >Open dialog. When I do File>Open and browse to a file, then close the file. The next time I do a File>Open, I am taken to the previous path, but the previous file is not highlighted/selected. So, I have to grab the scroll bar and pull it down to get to the file.
Now when I do a File>Open from Vault, it goes to and selects the previously opened file. This is also how Autocad works. Would be nice if Inventor worked the same way.
I use the GIMP all the time and I love it! I'm not a realexpert, but can do mostly what I like.
I'm using Gimp 2.6 on Ubuntu. I open the GIMP, and I'm going along just fine, then all of a sudden I can't get the dialog box for a tool I'm using and I can't view the layers tool box. If I close everything and open GIMP again, it will work for a while.
Is there a way Autocad could just do what I asked for, and nothing more?A few examples
- After publishing, the publish dialog auto closes. I don't wat that. After publishing dwf I also want pdf.(I know you can save the list, that's not the point. If you didn't close the dialog I wouldn't need it)
- When selecting a hatch, the ribbon automatically jumps to Hatch Editor. I don't want that. Maybe I just want to change the layer. I can find the Hatch editor my self..Dito for XREFS
- I do not want any dialog giving me warnings, about anything.
If an XREF doesn't get attached, I can see that. I don't need a dialog telling me.If a shape file is missing, I can see that..A triangle sign above the command line is totaly adequate.Don't auto open or close dialogs, for what ever reason.
So ... don't auto do anything I can perfectly do manualy. No doubt there are a few more examples I can't think of right now.The nice thing would be to get a variable that gives me that "no auto" mode.
I hide some tools and rearrange them to different places within the toolbox.
I also drag some dockable dialogs together under the toolbox.
When I quit the Gimp and reopen it, the toolbox and dialogs are set to default and the tools that I've hidden are back in the toolbox. Gimp is ignoring my preferences.
First of all I want to introduce myself. My name is Joshua, I'm from beautiful little Switzerland (yeah, lot of chocolate and cheese here!), and I'm a webmaster (HTML, CSS, PHP, Ruby on Rails) and programmer (C, Java, PHP, Ruby).
At the moment I have to rely on other guys to create nice website layouts, but now I want to learn it myself using Photoshop. :-)
My first question is quite simple: I'm working on Mac OS X Tiger and I'd like to switch between buttons in Photoshop dialogs using the tab key... So if I e.g. want to close an image and I'm asked if I want to save the file, then I can't switch to "No" using tab (as a programmer I don't want to use my mouse too often ;-) ).
Is there an option to activate this? In Mac OS X I have activated this option, but in Photoshop it doesn't seem to work...
Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in Photoshop cs6 13.0 (creative cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro? ( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display. cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker. After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes. One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
Fired up 2012 and I find the new modeling dialog boxes quite annoying. For example, within Edit Poly, the chamfer, extrude, etc. Is there any way to switch back to the old, standard windows style dialogs?
I have a installation of Revit 2012 (64bit win7) that some times stops drawing dialogs and Revit menu (the big R-button) in front (or something). If I press open, the dialog only pops up if I press somewhere in the revit window, and windows plays that DING-sound (like when you do something you shouldn't do). It feels like a menu draw issue.. The R-button just never displays a menu when I press it. A restart of Revit fixes the problem, but its annoying and we all know Revit doesn't start very quick...
We are using the Creative Cloud version of Illustrator CS6 and seemingly at random, Illustrator exhibits the following behaviors:
• The Illustrator Options dialog box is not displayed during a save-as operation. • The Save or Don't Save dialog box is not displayed when closing a file. • The Print dialog box does not appear when printing a file. (similar to the MS Office quick-print - it still sends the print but uses last settings)
As you have probably already guessed, the second behavior could be quite disastrous. This has been confirmed on four different machines, all Macs, OSX 10.8.2 with 12 - 16GB of RAM, plenty HD space, no unusual cpu activity.
The problem is every time a file dialog is displayed (like, file/open or file/place) I immediately termintaes with the "Could not complete your request because of a program error." message. Nothing in the logs or console messages.I contacted support, but they were apparently reading from a script - they had me change /Library (not ~/Library, but /Library) to global read+write - NFW. I did it temporarily and it still didn't work.
I believe my issue stems fromt he fact that my user account was created years ago, back when the default user group (its gid) = its uid. When I look in Users/Groups, it shows "staff" (which is gid 20), but the directory (and I assume its execute permissions) is set to 502, same as the uid. I tried to change the directory group ownership (the entire /User tree for this user) to gid 20, but it still wouldn;t work.
Since it works for the other user (created in Mountain Lion), I assume it must be related to this legacy permissions situation, but I can;t figure out what I need to change. CC loads, and I can load a file from Lightroom, but it will not display the file dialog.
I am using a competitor product for video editing and now I am looking for a new product since the support there was really bad. I tried the testversion of Videostudio X4 and downloaded the recommended file from the website which is the german version. I installed it on a XP 32 Bit machine and also on a Vista Ultimate 32 Bit machine.
In both cases the first dialogs (welcome and registration) after running the program are in Chinese language. Now, the problems are:
- Although I can translate the contents by google translator I do not register the program in this case. I don't know what is comming up after that.
- The Corel support does not do anything when you don't specify a registered product.
The only thing that has changed since Friday is the install of SP1. I use the old dialog boxes instead of the mini-toolbars (don't get me wound up). I just noticed yesterday some strange behavior when I change the value in the dialog box.
In the example in the attached screenshots, I started the fillet command and selected edges. The default fillet was ".3" and I want to change to ".4375". As you can see in the image, at one point while typing, Inventor decided to highlight the entry again, and as you see overwrote the ".4" with "375".
I'm checking other dialog boxes now but so far all I know is the fillet dialog box. Also does it on the value of a variable fillet too.
I am using Illustrator CS6. When I select an object and open the Move window (either by pressing the Enter key or selecting Object>Transform>Move), I try and move the object at a given angle and a given distance. I leave the Horizontal & Vertical dialogs blank and just fill in the information for the Distance and Angle. When I press OK (or Copy), nothing happens. In all previous versions of Illustrator, this feature worked perfectly. I can not get it to work in CS6.
I'm using Gimp 2.8.6.Try as I might, I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively 'merge' 3 shots of the same scene taken at 3 different exposures (using the exposure bracketing feature on my camera).The idea is to end up with the equivalent of an HDR image.
I assume that I open the first image and then open the other two as layers . .
When I create a rectangular box in Autodesk Inventor 2008, shell it, and create a new sketch on any face and press E I expect to be greeted with the extrusion options. This does not happen, and a command alias input dialog appears in the status bar.
I really want to turn this off, since it has happened on other occasions as well. Since there's no other way to get to the extrusion feature, it completely halts my work.
Usually when I don't know what a feature is for and I'm not attempting to use it I expect to not see it- especially when I perform actions that don't usually bring it up. I'm not sure why the behavior has been put there. Hopefully it's not put into later versions (I've seen 2010 complaints as well) so someday an upgrade will remove the annoyance.
I've occasionally run into a problem where when I right-click at the root of the browser tree and select iProperties, the dialog will not show. The application acts as if the dialog is active (in particular, Windows makes an annoying ding every time I try to click somewhere on the Inventor UI) but I cannot see it. If I recall correctly, this only affected some files, and I could usually get around it by opening the dialog from the main menu rather than from the browser.
Now I am experiencing something similar with the Derived Part dialog. After I select a part file to derive from, the dialog for selecting individual elements never actually appears on the screen, but Inventor seems to think it's there, as the part I am deriving from is displayed in the viewport and the browser tree is locked out. Again, it seems as if the dialog is active but invisible: If I press Enter, I get a derived part, and if I press Escape, the preview disappears and nothing new is put in the browser. Of course, I can't choose which elements of the base part I want to derive from. Right-clicking the derived part entry in the browser and selecting "Edit derived part" produces the same result -- evidently, an invisible dialog box.
I will do absolutely ANYTHING to restore this picture. I've been working on it for hours. I thought I learned my lesson from working for hours and not saving, but apparently my lesson might now be to save in 8 places while working.
I was working on a drawing, saving as I went, and my laptop shut off unexpected as I was saving. I thought it saved before it shut off, but when I came back on, it wouldn't open the xcf file. The preview still shows up, and the file is still 1.37MB. Is there ANY way of redeeming my drawing? Any other programs I could open it in or way to fix it?
I recently scanned in an old photo and thinking I was being clever and losing zero quality, I saved it as a "Raw Data Image" using GIMP.
However, I cannot open it now, GIMP doesn't recognise it, and when I select Raw Data Image in the File > Open dialog, it just shows a garbled image and some sliders/numbers for me to play with.
Can I save my image, or will I have to scan the photo again (after spending months talking the owner into letting me borrow it and scan it in the first place!)
Now, I want to open another image Dragging into Gimp doesn't work - wherever you drag it?Why is this?
Another way I like to open is to press 'Ctrl O' and then paste the path of a folder and press return This then takes me to that folder and shows me all images inside(The same behaviour will work with any other program on WIndows) With Gimp, this is not possible .There is no path displayed when you first click Ctrl O.I've found how to get the path: click on one of the locations on the left pane and then click on the 'Type Name Field' icon - this then gives you a location in which you can type the path
it only takes a second or two to do, but it would be nice if we just could past the path name or start typing the path name after pressing 'Ctrl O' - like ALL other Windows programs!
I only just found out about them when I was looking for some textures on Tumblr and I believe they basically change the color of an image, if I'm right?
