Hi,
I would like to share with some issues I encountered with the newest x-gimp program:
1) under brushes there is only clipboard selection unil you click "open the brush selection dialog" button (with painter) and then "refresh brushes" button (with cirkled arrows)
2) somehow, fu-scripts originally conteined in X-Gimp_2[1].4.0_rev4\Bin\Gimp\share\gimp\2.0\scripts directory, are only partially visible in menu under filters/alpha to logo - but even there it is inactive ... unless you click "xtns" menu in main window and there in "script-fu" you click "refresh scripts" option - this activate fu scripts in alpha to logo menu. What is interesting, programm recognize properly externally added scripts - as in user folder (in gimp/scripts file) as added to the main Bin\Gimp\share\gimp\2.0\scripts folder.
3) For those using liquid plugin - it wont work applied according creators guideline - you have to put exe file directly in User\Gimp\plug-ins file - then work fine

Does anybody know how to fix point 1 and 2 permamently?
I hope my short review will help a little for other gimp enthusiasts
please share your experience as well

best regards
JackL

JackL did you tray the normal-install version? The problem is not present?
It is a bug of portable (X) version... I Think....

Point 1
Ok, now I think it's ok... I think....
Replace X-Gimp.ini and X-Gimp.exe (please let me now if ALL problems are fixed).


x-gimp_fix.zip

For the point 2 read this: -Link-

Redesigned menus

The user interface has been redesigned, especially the top and context menus. There is now a seperate menu for colors, and the ScriptFu and PythonFu menu are no longer available. All filters and plugins can now be found in the Filters menu. For instance: Script-Fu -> Shadows -> Drop Shadow is now located at Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Drop Shadow. This is much more intuitive.

Hi, Danix- respect - all work fine now - I have to compare Ini files what has changed - perhaps one day I will be able to provide solution myself :]
What have you changed in exe file ... and how?
as for script fu - U R absolutely right except one part - perhaps it's only my experience but still to activate scripts in menu under filters/alpha to logo - you have to click "xtns" menu in main window and there in "script-fu" you have to click "refresh scripts" option.
thanks a lot anyway for other fixes

From:
[FileToRun]
PathToExe=$Bin$\$AppName$\bin\gimp-$AppVer$.exe
Parameters=-d


To:
[FileToRun]
PathToExe=$Bin$\$AppName$\bin\gimp-$AppVer$.exe


Why?
Because: -Link-

Sorry but if it is a bug, is a bug of Gimp.
The normal-install Gimp version works in the same way and have the same "problem"...
