Hi everybody on the list, I'm testing the GIMP on various operating systems for my masterthesis (in that i want to show the capabilities of open-source-software for technical writing) and i hope that somebody could answer me the following question (more to follow ;-) : As a programmer and technical writer for software i love the ability of getting screenshots directly from and into the GIMP via the "Acquire" submenu -> "Screen shot". I've already tested that function successfully under (Ubuntu-)Linux and Windows (XP). But under Mac OS there are some problems. I've installed the GIMP on two different ways under Mac OS. The first way is via Mac Ports and the Acquire-Screenshot-function can only get screen-shots of programs running under the X11-server I'm running under Mac OS (like OOo.org). The other way I've installed the GIMP via GIMP.app (http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/), the self contained application bundle of GIMP, that uses X11, too. On that installation the point "Screen shot" in the "Acquire"-submenu doesn't even exist. Here's my question: is there any plugin that i can install to have this cool function under Mac OS? Is anybody working on a plugin (and is it even possible to get a Mac-Screenshot into an X11-application?). It's a great functionality and it would be very useful for Mac-users.
