Hit all,

since I'm one of a few who build the pdf version of the manual more often, I always have a look at the availability and print size of the images for the GIMP manual. As you all should know we need to have all images with a width larger than 50px set to a print resolution of 144dpi for the pdf creation (sell also http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/TipsForContributing for that).

Unfortunately just recently the count of images that not apply to this rule just exploded. Right now more than 300 images are affected by this. The majority of them is from a very recent checkin for the lt language.
It would be nice, if the author of lt could fix this please. May be we can create some GIMP procedure to help here?

Greetings and Happy New Year to everyone,

I was just about to ask you the very same things!

How to automatically fix the print resolution? (this one until now without answer as I see...) and how do you check the fact that an image is in a wrong resolution?

Since I, in the past, was used to create the pdf version of the manual too, and this action seems to be a good habit, useful to find errors in the manual, I'll promise to do it more often than I used to do lately (i.e. never :-)

This manual is great and I take opportunity of this email to thanks you all for this precious effort especially from whom, like you, cares about the english version that, as a de facto lingua franca, help we all foreign translators to translate this manual into our native language.

This project is an important and key piece (as comes out from time to time from the gimp user mailing list) to help people know and appreciate this beautiful and important piece of Free Software that is GIMP.

Thank you!

BTW: my first attempt gives:

I saw this:

posted by me! :-)

but shoudn't them better be fixed anyway? any hint on how to to it? I would like to be more productive than always reporting errors without being able to fix those by myself...

and then:

It could be much more useful if these errors where reported with line numbers...any hint on how to enable a more verbose output?

Thanks for noticing this. Somehow I didn't pay attention to this as I'm currently a lot more busy with the text and the screenshots were more or less just for testing the local build. But I'll fix that shortly.

Urk. Are you really saying that you uploaded 300 images into svn just to test the local build? If so, do you realize that those images are going to exist in the svn database forever? It's a large file system, but you just can't do stuff like that.

No. I'm just saying that I've made the screenshots before finishing the translation mainly out of the curiosity to see see how the build looks like. The screenshots looked fine for me, so I thought why not upload them right away just to save my time as I'm already having enough of hassle updating a lot of my translations done one or two months ago to the current svn. It's just that I completely overlooked the 144 dpi print size requirement. Well, maybe I should have done this after completing translation of the whole manual, but oh well... I really want to believe that you appreciate some imperfect work done more than saving a miserly 8MB of extra storage space, not that I care too much, but it would be just plainly pathetic, you see. ;)

Have a nice day, ?ygis

You can ignore this but should upgrade your db2latex package.

Done, errors disappeared, thanks!

you don't want to see the line number of the tex file - would you? It usually ist pretty easy to find the missing images in the xml files anyways.

You'right again, thanks!
