The GIMP: The GNU Image Manipulation Program
|
||||
============================================

||||
|
||||
This is version 1.3, the developers version of The GIMP. Only use it if you
|
||||
are brave and curious and want to participate development towards the next
|
||||
stable release version 1.4. This is a developers version. We know it has bugs
|
||||
and it might not even compile. You have been warned!

Some features that were present in GIMP 1.2 are disabled or not even included
|
||||
in this release. The perl bindings as well as all the perl scripts are not any
|
||||
longer included in this source tree. They have been moved into its own module
|
||||
called gimp-perl and await being porting to GIMP-1.3 and GTK+-2.0.

The new text tool is only halfway done and various other tools and functions

are broken. Almost everything is under construction. Don't even think about
|

using this for daily work. If you are a software distributor, dont' dare to

ship this package to innocent users.

4. Customizing
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app by
|
||||
editing the ~/.gtkrc file or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
|
||||
For downloadable themes and further details, see http://gtk.themes.org.
|
||||
Additionally GIMP reads ~/.gimp-1.3/gtkrc so you can have settings that
|
||||
only apply to The GIMP.

Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop. You
|

can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file to
|
||||
~/.gimp-1.3/menurc. You can also manually change the keybindings to any of
|
||||
your choice by editing ~/.gimp-1.3/menurc.

5. Bugs
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Since this is a developers version, we are at the moment not really interested
|
||||
in receiving too many bug-reports. Some parts of the code are unfinished and
|
||||
under heavy development and we know that. Bug-reports for incomplete or
|
||||
missing are features are therefore often not helpful. Instead of filing a bug
|
||||
you should try to contact the person who is working on this particular part of
|
||||
the program (see the ChangeLog) or try to fix it yourself. You should report
|
||||
crashes and other severe bugs at Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/). Your
|
||||
bug-report needs to provide detailed instruction of how to reproduce the
|
||||
problem. For reports on crashes, please also include a stack trace.

If you experience crashes whenever you try to start gimp-1.3, you are most
|

probably using gdkxft or another LD_PRELOAD hack designed for gtk+-1.2. These
|
||||
hacks will not work with GTK+-2.0 applications like this version of The GIMP.
