select at 0,0 + px to mm
I am getting the hang of Gimp1.2. I use it mainly to print out
speciality cards via my inkjet.
When I start a fresh "canvas" I can and do define it in mm, set the dpi
& off I go. My questions are
1. Is there an easy way to move selections to the exact edge of the canvas ? I end up zooming in and twitching the mouse till I get 0,0. Is there a quicker way ?
2. Is there a way to get the measure tool to read out in mm, I have to convert from px with a calculator.
Many thanks Dave

Selections won't go outside canvas, so you can start the selection on the canvas border to get it from 0,0. Just enlarge the image window to see some of the canvas margin and start the selection in the upper left conner margin.
In 1.3 there is a neat grid system to help you with perfect-positioning selections. In 1.2 you can try using the guidelines.

It looks like this functionality is missing. I have filed it as an enhancement bug #121294.

Yes. You can place guides at 0 X and 0 Y coordinates. To use guides, just click on the rulers at the window margin, and drag the guides to your image. The default behaviour for object placement is snap to these guides.
2. Is there a way to get the measure tool to read out in mm, I have to convert from px with a calculator.
No, there is not. However, I think it is still feasible for 2.0. I just wonder if anyone has asked for this enhancemnet on bugzilla...
Many thanks

If you look at the image in real-world size, that is "Dot for Dot" switched off in the View menu, all distances are reported in the image's unit instead of in pixels. If you prefer this mode, you can make it the default in the Preferences dialog.

Here's a script to do what you want, I think. Just copy it into your ~/.gimp-1.2/scripts directory, refresh the script-fu collection (Toolbox/Xtns/Script-Fu/Refresh) and you're ready to go. You'll find the script in Image/Script-Fu/Utilities.

Hi,
you are aware that you can set a fixed size or aspect ratio in the rectangular selection tool-options? Just a hint, your script is surely useful for special cases.

If I remember correctly, I had a project where I needed to keep anchoring selections at the same coordinates. I don't think I've used this script since.
