GIMP :: Export Window Pops Up Behind 2.8.3 (Mac OS X ML)
Feb 20, 2013
popup boxes like the one that occurs on export to set compression level, as well as the notifier of colour profile (option to keep or convert) appear behind the main window of Gimp, so I need to alt+tab over to the new window.
Is there a way to adjust this so that they pop up on top of Gimp?
This same thing was happening in Photoshop CS3 and I could never figure out why. I figured that since CS4 was coming out, I would buy it, stop using CS3 and the problem would be solved, well it's not. So far, I'm happy with the new program but for some reason, out of nowhere, while working on a photo, the Photoshop Help window (which opens as a web browser window) will pop up for no reason! Today, it popped up over 6 or 7 times and I nearly had to crash the program to get it to stop. I figured this problem would have been solved with the new version since the same thing was happening in CS3 but it hasn't. I'm running a Windows XP-based machine that I built myself about 2 years ago. I have a 512mb ATI Raedon X1650 video card and have 4GB of RAM so this machine has far more than enough power to run the program. I updated my video and mouse drivers prior to installing the program.
I want to "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File", but at startup when I hold down [ctrl alt shift] I get the "scratch disc preferences" window instead. It was fine for a long while and this just started recently. Â I have Windows and Photoshop CS5. The scratch disc preferences is on the first selection 'start up'.
As a new user I really prefer the single window mode but have a real problem in that every time I open a filter the window/box that open opens up underneath the single window and I cant see it without minimising the main gimp window. I've played with the preferences windows management options and seem to have all the file options curves etc on top now (these were opening under the single window at one point) but nothing I do seems to want to make the filter boxes open where I can see them - It's making GIMP quite unpleasant to use.
Win 8.1 64 bit A Toshiba Satellite laptop, LR 5.3. When I try to export I get a window without export buttons at the bottom to do the export. Further if I try to resize the export window the export window disappears and LR freezes requiring to ctrl/alt/del to close it. I cannot export anything to HD or email, etc. Â I was in a class last night where everyone had Macs and the buttons appeared on their versions and worked fine. Totally repeatable. I can supply screen shots. Â Makes LR totally useless.
Worked fine until tonight... the export window completely vanished. I installed the 4.2 update, no luck. Restarted the computer, nothing. Uninstalled LR completely and re-installed it, still nothing. I can't view the window with the options regarding export, making it impossible.
I have been working with LR 2.7 for a while now and was happy with it. Â PC - Win XP - LR3.5 Photo's stored on external hard disk (K:) Â The RAW captures of a Nikon 3100 I recently won were not being recognized/imported by LR 2.7 and I installed the 3.5 version to see if it was any better. I would have to buy it anyway by the time I switch to Win7. In 3.5 the Raw files were imported, the settings of 2.7 were nicely taken over but now and I cannot export the files I have worked on to the K: drive of the external hard drive as I used to do with 2.7.
I get the message 'The folder could not be found' though it is set in the Export Window and I am looking at it in Win Explorer. Â The original RAW captures are on the D: drive but that was always the case with 2.7 as well... I am doing it exactly as I used to with 2.7. Â I tried with a photo from an older folder of my usual camera and everything works fine there.The problem seems to be only with the Nikon files. Now I start wondering if there is something with raw format of this Nikon camera that is putting LR in a twist...
While I was first working with CorelDraw13, I tried exporting a file that had a layer that was hidden, but printable. Â I got a warning/error window notifying my of the problem. Â In the corner, there was a check box option to not display that warning/error message. Â
Now, I am trying to get that window to show up again. Â
When i want to go and fillet, match properties, copy or do anything to a line that I have drawn, I have a selection box that pops up. it asks me what line I want to do it on. My co-worker is running the same program and he doesn't have this dialog box pop up.
Had this issue in PS7. PS CS6 was fine until recently, but now it does the same thing. Â Pops up a help page (usually several) in a browser. Seems to occur primarily when the fx (layer style) pane is open.
I just recently started getting an error when I try to slice something, Right as i click to slice, an error pops up saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off the nag dialog that pops up every time I use CS6 Liquify on XP. Â I have to run CS6 on both my XP and W7 partitions - (some other apps I use are not W7 compatible, so having CS6 on XP sure saves a lot of dual booting).
I haven't found a way in the prefs to stop it appearing - I wish there was a "Don't Show Again" checkbox on it at least.
I usually use photoshop (cs6) in full screen mode with menu bar. Often I use the window+d shortcut to return to the desktop. From here, whatever window I open, ie my browser, explorer, etc, photoshop pops up in the background minus all the menu bars. This is very annoying because it means I cannot work with files on my desktop.
The attached images show that quickproperties is not checked, yet while selecting objects the quickproperties dialogue box will randomly appear against my desires (I am unable to continue selecting objects once quickproperties is displayed).

I've already downloaded the 2013 Service Pack 1 for this problem but I still get the popup message every half hour or so (see attached image). Â I only used the service for a render once with Revit Architecture 2013. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have just installed Illustrator 9.0, running on Windows 7. The install was fine but when I try to launch the program I receive the following 2 errors:
1) "Pencil or smooth tool out of memory. Try editing at a smaller zoom magnification".I click OK because that's the only option. The next error window occurs with:
2) "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error" Error: IMEM.I click ok again because that's the only option.
When I open a .NEF file, the Camera Raw window pops up and I save the file in a .dng format. Â But then, I cannot open the .dng file with Photoshop Elements (Camera Raw pops up automatically). Â how can I open the .dng file in Photoshop Elements?
I have been having problems with images that I save appearing to be more saturated and have more contrast than the edit looks in the GIMP window. I tried playing around to figure out what it might be and found that when I open an image in GIMP, the image displayed in the program is less saturated and less contrasty than the original image without any changes made. When I save the unedited image, the new image looks like the old image, both more saturated and contrasty than the image displayed in the GIMP window. Because of the color change in the GIMP window, all of my edits are pointless because it is not showing me the correct outcome. My images are originally JPG format and I save/export in JPG format. Attached is a screencap. The original image/what the unedited saved image looks like is in the preview window on the right. The image on the left is the unedited image opened in the GIMP window.
After installing GIMP 2.8.4 when launching program all I get is the LAYER-BRUSH Toolbox, no main window No menus,. it seems everything may be opening off screen but im not sure.
I have a netbook Acer AspireOne D255e, which max resolution is 1024x600. When I try to run GIMP, it's impossible to use it, because all the tools disappear on the window.
Is there the possibility to resize the GIMP window to fit on my screen?
How do I get the toolbox and the layer window attached to the main window? Right now they're hidden behind the main window and it's extremely annoying since I like to have the main window maximized.
When I open GIMP, the window is quite different from what it used to be. I uninstalled and reinstalled GIMP, but there is no change. Is there any way to make the appearance normal? The screenshots that I have attached are after a lot of efforts to make the screen appear 'normal'

When I try to rotate an image with only one layer, the image rotates but the "window" which contains it does not! I end up with the image rotated 90 degrees, but it's cropped because the window it's in, did not move. That window sticks out with a checkerboard pattern. I've looked in the GIMP manual and gone to YouTube for an explanation on how to use the rotate tool but I couldn't understand the tutorials. how to use the rotate tool successfully? I'm a severe dyslexic with low vision so usually, standard tutorials don't work for me.
