Default settings for scaling images: high quality?

Dear List,

sorry for possible duplications - I only subscribed today!

When I resize images, I always use bicubic precision - unless I forget to change from "linear (low quality)". To avoid this, I'd prefer to have high quality scaling as default option.

There must be a way, now? Thanks a lot. Regards
Ralf.

thank you, this works ;)
is there a way to use this setting system wide (all users)? any hints on how to associate gimp for a specific file type (suffix) likewise system wide (mimetypes for KDE 3.3), BTW?

cheers Ralf

hi,

the goal was edited from this email thread, so i am putting it back here. back when the berkeley computers also shared an archive of the mail list, emails like this were useful to people. with the strong desire that this might one day be the case again, we can all make sure that the emails that are archived make some sense. (me included!)

the original question was how to set the default action of the interpolation method used by gimp for transforming images.

make it the default preference for new users by editing the gimprc that user_install starts with. if you have gimptool (usually included with libgimp-dev) "gimptool --sysconfdir" should tell you where this is located. edit this line:

# (interpolation-type linear) to
(interpolation-type bicubic)
