GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 37632
Double rotate gives strange results
Last modified: 2001-06-19 02:02:04 UTC
Package: gimp Version: 1.2.0 Name...........: Lars Clausen Email..........: lrclause+gimpbug@cs.uiuc.edu Platform.......: Pentium II, Debian 2.2 Linux GIMP Version...: 1.2.0 GTK Version....: 1.2.8 WM/Version.....: Sawmill 0.32 --- Problem description: When starting a new rotation before the old one is finished, the picture becomes corrupted. --- --- How to repeat: Assign a keybinding to Image->Transforms->Rotate->90 Degrees. Load a large pictures (I use 1600x1200). Press the keybinding twice. The progress bar flickers for a while. The final image has the left half duplicated over the right half. Also, you can't undo the rotation. --- --- Other comments: Before you say "Don't do that, then", I find it useful to rotate a picture 180 or 270 by two or three 90 rotations. Earlier versions of gimp did this right (i.e. didn't start the next rotation till the first was done). --- ------- Bug moved to this database by debbugs-export@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-01-28 11:09 ------- This bug was previously known as bug 37632 at http://bugs.gnome.org/ http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37632 Originally filed under the gimp product and general component. Unknown version 1.2.x in product GIMP. Setting version to the default, "unspecified". The original reporter (lrclause+gimpbug@cs.uiuc.edu) of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the exporter, debbugs-export@bugzilla.gnome.org. Reassigning to the default owner of the component, egger@suse.de.
Re-assigning all Gimp bugs to default component owner (Gimp bugs list)
Well, the answer is: "Don't do it". This behaviour is bound to a major design problem with respect to The GIMP and its plug-ins: the lack of image locking. This will be fixed in a later GIMP release but not in the 1.2 tree. Until then the answer is "Don't do that then".
