hi, thanks for response, i was already giving up :-) Dne 15.12.2010 21:14, Ulf-D. Ehlert napsal(a): > Hi Miroslav, > > Miroslav ïulc (Wednesday, 15.

We did not start changing docs for v2.8. well, i guess i can make them then and when the time comes, i can just send them the right way. i just do not want do duplicate someone elses work. time is precious :-) >> 3) there are some inconsistencies in capitalization of chapter >> titles. i am really not sure whether i will find some time and >> will to fix this, but if i find it, what are the rules? i noticed >> some titles do not use capitalization of following words, but on >> the other hand, titles of images are sometimes capitalized. > I'm not sure, too.

If you are not > sure about your changes, use bugzilla (best way is to create patches > with "git format-patch", but simple patches are also fine). well, i do not have account on git.gnome.org yet. and they say i should create one only if somebody tells me it's a good idea to do so :-) also, i spent some time today on reading how git works exactly so as i wrote above, i have the patches in the format-patch format now too. i just don't know what to do with them, did not want to create extra spam on bugzilla. >> also, i have one issue with understanding of documentation, the >> section about sample points. i was not able to make sample points >> work neither in gimp 2.6 nor 2.7 though i think i did it right >> (ctrl+click on ruler). anyone knows whether the documentation is >> correct and the feature does not work in gimp or there is some >> other way to make it work? > It works: Ctrl-click on a ruler, hold the mouse button pressed, and > move the pointer to the image. well, just tried with latest 2.7 and does not work, neither with mouse (that even does not catch click, weird) nor with stylus. in fact i am not even able to put guide on ruler that way. i must have something wrong in setup then. > Thank for your help, > > bye, > Ulf miroslav _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
