Hi Nancy,

I have looked over your post on irregular cropping photos with Gimp and have not been able to make it work. I have actually spent almost a year trying to figure out basic commands with Gimp and in most cases failed. Have found no useful tutorials online that describe anything more than common sense commands and not achieved any way to crop anything other than simple rectangle or ellipse. I am not a newbie to photo editing, but used mostly Ulead Photoimpact, which does not have many features of Gimp.

Any suggestions?

Comment on How to launch Firefox preview from jEdit by ChrisG

Hi. Thanks for the tip. I’m on a Mac (usually) and found that the best way to do this on OSX is to use “open -a Firefox $u” in the plugin’s Options>External Browser Command field. Which means that all InfoViewer does is run any command line command with the buffer as the additional argument, which is great. It might be tempting to use just “open $u”, which works, but that leaves it up to the System to decide what the default opening app (program) is for the current buffer file, and, of course, if your buffer is not an HTML file and you triggered this plugin by accident, you might get a result you hadn’t expected. For me, this opened up other possibilities for creating macros using BeanShell to trigger the opening of other files using variations on this model.
Thanks again!

Comment on How to create multiple node Bezier curves in Vector Illustration: part 2 by kiers

kiers — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:09:04 +0000

ok somehow i had to unjoin the curves from earlier, and add node to the left of the left adjacent node compared to where i wanted it, and then move the old left adjacent node down to the belly area! strange! (basically i had to do the adding one pair downstream (to the left) rather than exactly where i wanted it!) this is tricky stuff.

also it appears you can move the curve in path mode (F2) just by literally moving the curve itself, regardless of the round circle arc guidance points!

hmm.
i finished your bezier tutorial all the way through “join nodes”!

question: near the bottom (the “belly”) of the fish, i want to add a node to give the round belly shape but inkscape does not seem to be adding any new nodes at this point. How come?

Great tutorial btw,
thanx.
