 Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2005 2:36 am Post subject: GIMP can't save in anything but XCF |
 |
|
The other day I needed to save something in GIMP, but to my supprise the only option was GIMP's XCF image format. I really didn't have the time to look into it, so today I thought I'd try to fix it, first I tried reemerging, didn't work, so I tried downgranding to 2.0.4 (from 2.2.x) with the same result.
Only thing that I think could have hosed it, is imagemagick, and I've even unmerged it and then reemerge gimp to see if that would work. The funny thing now is, when I do emerge -uD world it wants to re-emerge it.
| Code: | emerge -C imagemagick
--- Couldn't find imagemagick to unmerge.
>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal. |
| Code: | # emerge -uDvp world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] x11-terms/xterm-200 [197] -Xaw3d -debug -toolbar +truetype -unicode 681 kB
[ebuild U ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r3 [3.3.4-r2] -cups -debug -doc -examples -firebird +gif -immqt -immqt-bc +ipv6 -mysql +nas -odbc +opengl -postgres +sqlite* -xinerama +zlib 0 kB
[ebuild N ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.0.4 +X -cups -debug -fpx -graphviz -jbig +jpeg -lcms +mpeg +perl +png +tiff +truetype -wmf +xml2 0 kB |
| Code: | # emerge -pv gimp
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/gimp-2.0.4 -aalib (-altivec) -debug -doc -gimpprint +jpeg +mmx -mng +png +python +sse -svg +tiff -wmf 0 kB |
Oh yeah, acquire -> screenshot is done too. (which is something imagemagick does too, smells of conflict?)
Hope I'm not too confusing here 
Thanks. |

| Maybe it is a local configuration issue. Try running it as another user and see if the problem persists. It is not possible for the GIMP and imagemagick to conflict, because they do not use binaries with the same names nor do they overlap in any other way. |

Forgot to tell that I tried deleting my .gimp?? from my home folder. Also I just tried running it as root, with the same results.
edit:
its spraying out this error message when I start it from the terminal
| Code: | a calling error occured while trying to run: "gimp_plugin_menu_register"GIMP: PD B calling error:
procedure 'gimp_plugin_menu_register' not found

I guess you fixed this by now, but I just came across the same error and wanted to post the anwser for others:
There seems to be a "leftover" binary in /usr/bin/ named "gimp". This is not owned by the gimp-2.2 ebuild. This one is started when just running "gimp" (from wherever). You probably can just delete that file (I did). To run Gimp (2.2) you need to run "gimp-2.2". |
