GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 735227
Add Liquid Rescale plug-in to GIMP
Last modified: 2018-05-24 14:31:16 UTC
I can not make the liquid rescale option work on either of my two macs/ I have attached a pdf file with screen images that trace one of my attempts
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a more useful description to this bug.
I don’t know what you would like me to say. The pdf file that I had attached shows the step by step record of what I did. The final result, which is shown in the FINAL figures of my attached pdf demonstrated that the scaling process that is expected, and which is described in numerous web sites that can be found by doing a web search for “gimp liquid rescale” does not happen. I expect liquid rescale would scale the image according to the height/width specs that I set while NOT SCALING the selected region. The final result is NOT THE SCALED IMAGE THAT IS EXPECTED. I can’t explain this any better.
What version of Gimp? What version of the LR plug-in? There is nothing attached to this bug report :/
If you had looked at the pdf that was attached you would have seen that on the very first page there is are images that described the version of my operating system and the version of GIMP. 2.8.10 The LR plug in was installed automatically when I installed GIMP 2.8.10. and there is nothing about the version of the LR Plug in. I am leaving for the weekend now. Hopefully you should have everything that you need.
There is no attachment.
Also, no matter what the attachment is, liquid rescale is a 3rd plug-in which is not under our control. Where did you get that GIMP DMG from?
Created attachment 284413 [details] Image displaying the source of GIMP with "liquid resale" This attachment demonstrates 1) The web sites from which I downloaded the version of GIMP at issue. 2) The "About Window" for this version of GIM 3) The drop down menu that offers the Liquid Rescale option that is the issue here. Note that this option is automatically included with the downloaded version of GIMP without any additional istallation
I can not understand why Michael writes that liquid rescale is something separate from the main GIMP code when it seems to be included in the download package.
Simone's build includes additional plug-ins (and other changes). This is a third-party plug-in. We plan to make this a bit more obvious by labeling third-party installers as such.
OK, so I guess that I should contact the source of the "Thiird-Party-Plug-in". Can you direct me to the person or site that might shed light on why Liquid Rescale doesn't work? Thanks
http://registry.gimp.org/node/144 is a good starting point.
Just some additional info. First of all, Carlo doesn't work on Liquid Rescale anymore. We (Michael Natterer and me) discussed moving this useful plugin to GIMP to ship it by default, but: 1) someone needs to actually sit down and port this plugin to GEGL first, volunteers are welcome; 2) there are some usability considerations as the plugin behaves differently from pretty much everything else in GIMP, it's kind of important. There was some work on 2), see http://blog.mmiworks.net/2012/05/teaching-interaction-12.html for details. But, again, there is neither functional spec for the tool, nor interested developer to hack on this. Again, contributions are welcome.
Let's change the bug according to comment 13.
