PortableGimp: and again no entry under "Layer": Re: PortableGimp: and again no entry under "Layer"

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:48:52 +0000

Thank you for the answer - now it seems to work.
I extracted the files directly with 7zip into the path as described by you. After that i copied the path to gimp into the command line and hit "enter".
There are no messages in the command line after the start, but now I have the missed entry in the Layer-menue.
Thank you for your help, bye bye

PortableGimp: and again no entry under "Layer": Re: PortableGimp: and again no entry under "Layer"

Hi,
did you try first to extract the .exe file to the following path:
D:\Weichware-Portabel\MyApps\Bilder\GIMPPortable\App\gimp
?
If that doesn't work, you could try to launch GIMPPortable from the comand line and see if there are any useful error messages (I'm not sure that PortableApps works from the command line, but it's worth trying). Please, tell me if you need help with that.

Hi over there,
I tried to install your portable Version of the plugin the easy way. My computer is a Samsung Netbook with Windows XP home SP 3 and Gimp is the Portable Version 2.6.7 Rev 3 from PortableApps copied in a special path on my data-partition (D:\Weichware-Portabel\MyApps\Bilder\GIMPPortable\) and german localisation.
After the installation I cant find the new menu-entry under "Layer" … in german this must be "Ebene".
Then I searched in your "Get help" and tried to move the files within the pathes as described in the diffrent threads but there is no visible effect.
Can somebody help me to start from scratch?
Thanks

The “mode” box has been moved to the “output” tab, you have to tick the option “Scale back to the original size” there and it will appear (it also has two additional modes with respect to version 0.5).
The reason is that for quick element removal the preferred workflow goes now as such:

select the area to remove as usual
press one of the “auto size” buttons
go to interactive mode (thirs small button in the “set width and height” section): this will apply the new size settings and show you the result
(if needed, adjust the result)
press the “reset” button in the “map” section of the interactive dialog
press the “reset” button in the “Set width and height” section of the interactive dialog: this will do the back-LqR step and complete the scaling

It sounds more complicated but in fact it is not, and gives you more control over what you're doing.
The previous workflow is still available from the “output” tab, anyway.

Grayed out: Re: Grayed out

The behaviour is standard when you have only one layer in your image. Press one of the “New” buttons in the Feature masks tab to create an extra layer (such button is the only element which is not grayed out, but on Windows this may be barely noticeable, depending on the GTK icon theme you have installed).

In general, if you leave the mouse over the various items in the dialog window for a few seconds you can get some useful tips, suggesting what to do. More information can be found in the tutorial or in the manual pages, follow the links from the sidebar at the top left.

Hi,

I just installed Liquid Rescale on latest version of Gimp on a computer running Windows XP Pro (x64 edition). When I tried to rescale an image, all the items on the Feature masks tab were grayed out. What causes this behavior?

Thanks.

Apparently, this is a Windows-only problem. I have added this note in the Download page, thanks.

I had the exact same problem with Liquid Rescale using Gimp 2.4 on XP.

Is this a common occurance?
If it is, can it be fixed?
If it can't be fixed, shouldn't version 2.4 of Gimp be taken off of the supported versions list?

Just offering some questions/ideas…

I have no idea what the problem is, but you can try opening the installer with an archive extractor (e.g. WinZip, WinRar etc.) and extract all its content under C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0 (or wherever your GIMP directory is located).

In my attempt to download the rescale for windows, I received the message "Could not extract, access denied." It gives me this message after I click the "extract" button. I checked the location of GIMP and it is stored in the program files. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

What version of the plugin are you using? In the last one (0.6), the label "New" in that button was substitued with a small icon (the step-by step tutrial is slightly outdated).
That button is never inactive (grayed out), even when all the other elements in the mask page are.

Another thing which is different between the last version and the tutorial ("Quick element removal" section) is the location of the "Mode" box, which was moved from under the size controls to the "output" page (and slightly modified, too).

I am following the directions and the tutorial for the Liquid Rescale plugin but the step "*click on the New button in the Discard features section on the right: a new layer will be created" is not available to click. In fact the whole page "Feature Masks" does not allow me to make any checks. What is wrong?

I have used the standard GIMP 2.6.5 installer for Windows and it used the folder "GIMP-2.0". It was installed in a fresh Windows XP (virtual) installation.
This is the configuration which I have tested the self-extracting archive onto.
Are there different installers around?

The installation file is a self-extractig executable. If you have GIMP installed in the default location, i.e. in the GIMP-2.0 folder under your main Program Files folder, just execute the file

INstaller can't work because that "the default location, the GIMP-2.0 folder in Program Files "does not exist:
Gimp folder for Gimp 2.6.x is called "GIMP-2.6" NOT "GIMP-2.0"

Something similar to install in 2.7, that installer will only deflate the content in a new bogus "GIMP-2.0" folder..

.only with obsolete version as 2.0 or 2.2 (not sure about 2.4) that may work
