gimp cannot take screenshots (how did kagashe?)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Juanito:
..I thought I'd taken the newest version of gtk1 gimp (but maybe not) - if we move to the gtk2 gimp, the extension becomes much, much larger in size and depends on a whole bunch of stuff...

it's probably more a matter of which recent gtk1 gimp version is the most reliable then. i hate that from version to version of an application  minor things like this might be an issue, but at least you know there are good odds it's nothing you did.

edit: just for haha's i downloaded gimp.dsl and untar.gz'ed it to / (i know one should never do this, but it's the first time i have since a fresh toram boot and besides, i got inkscape running that way- it needed libstdc from tcel.)

then i ran /usr/bin/gimp ... same problem (though that version of gimp runs) it's as though something needed for screenshots was missing from dsl. but if you said this wasn't the biggest deal, i would agree. it's just curious.

curaga:
Juanito: 1.2.5 is the last gtk1 version I believe. Why not have both, a gtk1 and a gtk2 version available? Then users can pick either the light, but dated one, or latest 2.6.x for gtk2 with all the bling.

I never said I used GIMP to take the screenshot. I used the utility from tools menu.

When you use this utility it confuses you since you don't get any "message" that the sreenshot has been taken but you can find the scrrenshot with Month/Date/Time in the file name.

I used GIMP to insert the TC Logo on the image and that is why you can see its icon on wbar.

When it comes to an application like Gimp, though, added dependancies might be worthwhile.  There is a huge difference is the usefulness of Gimp 2.4 compared to gimp 1.2, just as there is a huge difference between Photoshop 3 and Photoshop 4 (They're both old, but after PS 4 there haven't been a ton of improvements that I'd consider  groundbreaking apart from the save-for -web in PS 5.5)
