The command is: $ gimp-2.9 --gtk-g-fatal-warnings GIMP will crash as soon as it gets any warning. To run this into gdb, you run first: $ gdb gimp-2.9 Then inside gdb prompt: (gdb) run --gtk-g-fatal-warnings > Though in this case it really doesn't matter as I haven't been able to > produce the same terminal output as before.

Well maybe you are not using cage transform tool correctly. Yet even though no critical warnings are meant to happen! That is a definite bug. Also even if you were not using it correctly, then it would mean there may be a design flaw. Cage tool should not be that complicated to operate. >>> >>> Jehan, is there any possibility that this warp transform could be made to >>> work symmetrically, perhaps via the symmetric painting dialog?

Warp is cool indeed. :-) Jehan > Best, > Elle -- ZeMarmot open animation film http://film.zemarmot.net Patreon: https://patreon.com/zemarmot Tipeee: https://www.tipeee.com/zemarmot _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
