GIMP 2.7, - 2 simple questions

permalink

Hi everybody,
just two simple questions about GIMP 2.7.4 that I installed on Linux Ubuntu 11.10.
1. In previous versions of GIMP the shortcut ctrl+E allowed to put the image entirely in the frame while now ctrl+E is the command for exporting the image: do you know how to have a simple shortcut to replicate what ctrl+E did in 2.6 version?
2. Why the command "Save as" don't allow to save in jpg? Now we are forced to use Export in order to save an image in jpg format.

Thanks for your help.
Ciao

ctrl+J / ctrl+shift-J, according to http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.7.html

Yes, we are :) If you only work in JPG, just think of Export as saving,
you can ignore the "save" menu item.

Some good reasons for splitting it in two items:

I at least prefer having both the full, untainted XCF available at all
times, and once in a while I'll export to JPG/PNG, this used to require
a lot of maintenance before, now I can just to ctrl+s or ctrl+e
depending on whether I want to save or export.

Also, when saving as JPG etc. in 2.6, you would get a warning about how
layer information is lost. This you don't get now, saving always
preserves all information, it is assumed that when you export, you're
aware that information is lost. It's a lot more honest, in my opinion.

Thanks a lot.
I 'd like to do another little question. I have a Ubuntu PC in Italian language but I'd prefer to work in English GIMP. I saw I can launch GIMP from terminal typing "LANG=en gimp" but is there a way to have the same result launching it from the Icon?
Thanks in advance for your help.

make a text file:

#!/usr/sh
LANG=en /usr/bin/gimp

save file
make file executable
chmod u+x

attach icon to file

clicking on the icon will start gimp with "LANG=en"

Thanks, how can I attach the icon to the file?
Sorry but I worked in Linux a lot of years ago when graphic interface was a dream.

Because prior to 2.7, if you edit a XCF, and "save as" JPEG/TIFF/PNG,
the image is deemed saved and you can quit without being told you'll
lose your work (which is the case, think about
layers/selections/paths...). So now "Save/Save as" is restricted to XCF,
and if you want to obtain a JPEG/TIFF/PNG you have to export. I believe
there an exception to this, if the image is loaded from a non-XCF file
you can still "Save" directly to that format.

I really don't know *buntu* but in openSUSE:
on script icon and then on the pop-up icon allows
assinging a different icon.

Did you read Alexandre's post? He suggests just setting your lang pref in
gimp's preferences and not jumping thru the other hoops.

Maybe I can help you there. What doesn't show, how are you viewing it and
what are you using to view it?

off-list.
