GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 48162
gimp entry should use gimp-remote
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
gimp can open remote files (http worked, ftp didn't for me) and also comes with gimp-remote, which works like gnome-moz-remote. the attached patch lets this all work nicely. (i think) ------- Additional Comments From jacob@ximian.com 2001-04-25 14:03:23 ---- Created an attachment (id=1461) gimp-remote patch ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-25 14:05:41 ---- The only risk here is that it makes "Open with The Gimp" work only if you have gimp 1.2 or newer installed. But Jacob says that's no problem. ------- Additional Comments From jacob@ximian.com 2001-04-25 14:22:39 ---- that patch has a tyop in it: should be uri_schemes instead of uri_chemes ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-25 15:05:34 ---- *** Bug 47968 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-25 15:07:02 ---- Note that before Ximian was sending out an RPM that didn't include gimp-remote. If the latest Ximian gimp packages don't have this problem, then we might be OK. See http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2120 for more information. ------- Additional Comments From jacob@ximian.com 2001-04-25 19:43:12 ---- i checked in CVS, and the gimp-remote file should be included in the latest packages that were out this week. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-26 10:02:52 ---- The Red Hat 7.1 RPM for gimp (gimp-1.2.1-5) does not include gimp-remote. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-04-26 10:18:48 ---- So it seems that the Ximian gimp package does have gimp-remote, but the RedHat one does not. I'm pretty sure we don't want to invent some mechanism to allow it to use gimp-remote if present, but fallback to plain gimp otherwise (too much throwaway effort required). Therefore, we can either set the built-in database to use gimp, which works for everyone but doesn't handle multiple files optimally, or gimp-remote, which will work for everyone using Ximian GNOME but not work at all for people using vanilla RedHat (by "not work at all", I mean "gimp" won't appear as an option for opening image files in Nautilus). My vote would be to leave it as-is (gimp, not gimp-remote) until RedHat's release has gimp-remote in it. In the meantime, Ximian could patch gnome-vfs/data/mime/gnome-vfs.applications to use gimp-remote instead of gimp if they want to. ------- Additional Comments From jacob@ximian.com 2001-04-26 10:38:51 ---- sounds good. we'll probably patch it to use gimp-remote. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-26 10:56:57 ---- There's a bug report about the Red Hat problem at http:// bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35493 so they are aware of it. I am going to do the remote files part of this patch now, and the rest when the Red Hat problem is resolved. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:18 -------
Changing title to reflect the fact that the remote file part of this patch has been applied already.
Closing, the patch is included in gnome-vfs2, and redhat probably ships gimp-remote now
