Talk:GIMPshop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The second paragraph from this article was copied directly from the project's webpage. Clearly, this should be rewritten. Jickler

[edit] Bug Section

This distro is nitorious for bugs, we should point this out.--68.126.252.7 02:04, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

These bugs are only in the Windows executables because of the way they were compiled. The base code is nearly the same as Gimp, save some changed text strings. -Tues. Oct. 31 (Scott Moschella)

Regardless, they still exist and should be pointed out. I finally switched to the original GIMP recently due to the plethora of bugs. I was unable to even create a new image due to the bugs, and switching to another window and coming back caused many of the pannels to turn completely grey. This is definately worth noting. --Slavik262 14:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Direction of GIMPshop

Does anyone know whether GIMPshop's GUI redevelopment will ever make its way into actual GIMP or will just exist as a separate project? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.231.130.76 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 4 December 2005

The short answers is no. GIMP might adopt a few of the changes incidentally but the developers seem to like things the way they are. My understanding was GIMPShop was hacked up as an experiment in the hope the GIMP would adopt it, rather than with any intention of starting a seperate project. (As far as I know you aren't supposed to use talk pages for these sorts of question though.) Horkana

That's a real shame. GIMPshop makes GIMP usable. Is there a GIMPshop community that should or could be linked to from this article? This is such a huge improvement over GIMP, I am sure there is an active, thriving user community for it out there somewhere. --148.128.243.8 17:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merger

I think that the page on Scott Moschella should be merged here. Apart from writing GIMPshop, the only real notable thing about Moschella seems to be the fact that he works on Attack of the Show!. This, along with generic bio stuff (birth year, etc) could easily be put into one or two paragraphs in this page. If this goes through, I plan on rewriting the this page, both to expand it and to make it a bit cleaner.

[edit] Help

The help files for Gimpshop are not included with the latest install. Does anyone know wehre I can get these?

His homepage has a (tiny) bio. I also found two interviews with him (G4 interview. OSDir.com interview). Bowmanjj 18:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

  • I propose that all discussion pretaining to this proposed merger be kept in Talk:Scott Moschella. -- Mikesc86 01:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Solaris download

I changed the link for the Solaris download. The previous link to here led to a page where you had to type "GIMPshop" into the search box, and then that took you to the page where you could download GIMPshop. this link is much more direct ~ Anya Prynn 05:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official Gimpshop site?

What is the official Gimpshop website? gimpshop.com is listed as "website" in the overview? And gimpshopdotnet.blogspot.com is listed as the official site. From Gimpshop dot net: "I am not Scott Moschella, creator of GIMPShop, nor have I done anything related to the making of GIMPShop.." What about plasticbugs.com which is Scott Moschellas site about Gimpshop. Is this the offical site? It dosent link to any neither Gimpshop dot net or gimpshop.com. Tl-lomas 19:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

plasticbugs.com is the official site. See this post on GIMPShop dot Net. --Onejaguar 21:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

gimpshop.com is the official site. Plasticbugs.com is Scott Moschella's (developer) personal blog, but gimpshop.com is the official site with downloads in more variations than plasticbugs, forums, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jehnidiah (talk • contribs) 01:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comparison Screenshots

It would be really nice to see a screenshot of standard gimp and gimpshop side by side to demonstrate the differences if anyone can get them. :)
