Hi from another newbie!
Does anyone know anything about gimp?
Which version?
I can't get it to do even the simplest transformations. Trying to rotate a selection, for example, produces no result other than a lot of hard disk activity which appears quite rapidly to fill up the partition in use, whether home or root; the only way out that I have found is to log off and start again. Is this a known problem? I'm using Linux-Mandrake 6.1, the Macmillan distribution, on a Dell which has an Nvidia TNT2 graphics card.
Well, 1.0.4 is the latest(?) stable version and is as stable as a rock AFAIK. I've been using a cvs snapshot shortly after development version 1.1.16 was released and again it's pretty stable.
Perhaps you could tell us your gimp version, and any other relevant info (try gtk-config --version and tell us the result).
