GIMP 2.8.6 - Onkel Hatti's Unofficial Windows Releases

Onkel Hatti · **Posted:** Thu Jun 27, 2013 1:14 pm **(#11)**

The closing window behaviour is new to gimp 2.8.6 and cannot be switched.
It is the normal behaviour of all programs.
I was familiar with the old behaviour, but I changed my view and now I see that it is really normal.

Hi Onkel Hatti

I'm creating a custom build for Ubuntu 64-bits

You could indicate your CFLAGS settings ?

Maybe --> CFLAGS="-march=native -O3"

Thanks

I use:

CPPFLAGS="-ffast-math -ftree-vectorize -I..........."

as optimization. I did't want to use a special computer architecture, I don't know the side effects.

Ok, thank you Onkel

Thank you.

I also want to thank you for adding the matting tool with the build.

Not sure if i am too keen on closing the program when clicking the upper right close button though.
If i have an image open i am used to closing there and then getting a save as dialog.

Guess i will have to get used to the entire program closing now.Or stay away from that button.

Corrected versions online.
It was a problem with my user-exits enhancements. I make use of a property, which was filled by file loading, but not when file creating.
So it was unknown when savin a file, so there was a segmentation fault.
Now it is also known when creating a file.

I attached just the new compiled exe files, for those, who do not want to load the whole package again.
Just put the decompressed files in the gimp/bin directory and overwrite the old ones.

Works perfect now.

Still have the problem/bug with the text looking the same using sans and monospace though.

Windows 8 shouldn't care.
just replace the included in gimp\bin

Hmm. Test.
My advice: make a copy of the old things:

gimp\etc\fonts\*.* (all files and directories)
gimp\bin\libfontconfig-1.dll

Then replace existing with content of zip.
For me, at least the three fonts (sans, serif, monospaced) are quite different then.
But the problem seems to be deeper in fontconfig. A bug report is open, we'll wait...

Thanks Onkel. I am not all that worried about the fonts i rarely use those particular fonts anyways.I can wait for the bug to be fixed.
