Release The GIMP 2.8

ptitSeb · Mar 17, 2014

Here is The GIMP, The GNU Image Manipulation Tools.

It's a hacky compile to make it run on 1.60 Firmware, because GLib is not supposed to be new enough. Well, enjoy the latest version of GIMP. But be warned that many dialog boxes are just to big for the Pandora resolution (so I still prefer Pinta for my "on the go" picture editing).

A must-have !

I wonder if the one-menu mode is available.

The one-window is available (but I'm not sure it's usefull). What is one-menu?

Linux-SWAT · Mar 17, 2014

Yeah, i meant one window ^^, to rule them all (of course).

crosspoint · Mar 18, 2014

Hey cool, the logo i did in the background!

Did it with GIMP of course!

Thanks for porting the latest version btw!

ptitSeb · Jan 1, 2015

New build. Updated to latest sources.

Note that I have found that the config from the Build 01 make the Build 02 run quite incorrectly. So I have put a dialog that ask to remove old config folder. You can keep old save, but you might have issu with preferences saving and things like that. You have been warned.

Build 02

Compatible with Firmware 1.62+

There are strange error here.

Try to reboot your Pandora

and maybe to redownload the gimp PND also.

Eight Bit · Jan 1, 2015

That did the job. Thank you

I really like Gimp

ekianjo · Jan 1, 2015

New build works perfectly here. Thanks a lot!!

Is it possible, that GIMP 2.6 and GIMP 2.8 use the same appdata folder, or do I have to rename the appdata folder everytime I want to use the other version?

ptitSeb · Jan 2, 2015

If your SDCard is formated as an Ext2 filesystem, you can use a symlink. If your on Fat32, I don't see any easy way.

Berni11 · Jan 2, 2015

I mean both versions use the appdata folder "gimp". I wanted to know if there are any conflicts, when both versions use the same appdata folder.

ptitSeb · Jan 2, 2015

Ah ok.

Well, I don't think it's a good idea to use newer appdata with older version. Mmmm, I should have used another name for the appdata...

Berni11 · Jan 5, 2015

How can I change the appdata folder name? I tried changing it with PND Tools, but then Gimp said something, that it can't install its data.

And I found a bug with the one-window mode:

1. I enabled the one-window mode. When you do this it is possible to resize the window to any size.

2. I closed the program and started it again.

3. Now it's not possible to resize the window anymore. It is bigger then the pandora screen.

4. When I disable the one-window mode gimp won't react anymore and you have to delete the appdata folder or delete the config file to get it to work again. And it seems that you have to restart the pandora to open gimp again.

I confirm this bug is happening on my side too.

ptitSeb · Jan 5, 2015

Mmmm, I had noticed the "Gimp doesn't react" also with older config file. I'll try to fix, but I already spent time on this fidding just nothing ;(. And yeah,gimp, even when killed, stay there so you have to reboot to be able to restart.

Are you running from an SDCard formated as Fat32 or Ext2 filesystem?

Berni11 · Jan 9, 2015

My SD Card is in Fat 32, because of my Windows PC.

Hey all, went to go use GIMP today (which I haven't in ages, so not sure if its something to do with SZ changes or what) and it wouldn't load. No alert message or anything, no action lights flickering, just didn't load.

Not sure what to try. I tried activating a swap file just in case, and also made sure I WxPython installed. Still no joy. Any advice? Just wanted to say thanks for making all this stuff happen in the first place, ptitSeb, you're a superstar.
