kde & gimp problems when zooming in

Ok. Now, go there and try : apt-get update gimp

this shall bring you up to GIMP 2.0, and a step four years into the future.

(I suppose that) After one of this updating operation I'm no longer able in the gimp to zoom in an image to 1:1 by pressing only the key "1" which instead open the dialogue windows to open a file (in a nutshell 1 has become a shortcut of "file-open" !!!!!????).

Well...in GIMP 1.2.x the dynamic shortcut features is enabled by default. All you have to do is to highlight a menu option with the mouse, and press a shortcut key for it.

What mostly certain happened is that you pressed "1" while having "file open" highlighted - since if the GIMP 1.2 were updated, it would have beem to last year's 1.2.5 - not a version of 1.2.3 in which the Debian Packager would have deliberately reassigned shortcuts at random.

Just go to the view->zoom options, and reasign keys at your pleasure.

In the GIMP 2.0 the dynamic shortcuts feature comes disabled by default, and you have to enable it in preferences.

Best regards, Tchau,

What should I do?

2)
only the shortcut '1' is clearly suggested in the zoom menu of the gimp to zoom to 1:1.
Is it possible to give other shorcuts for the other sizes (2:1 or 1:2, for instance) and how?

Ciao

Hi,

Any particular reason you are using such a terribly outdated version of The GIMP?

Ctrl-1 is the shortcut for opening the recently used image. This is a shortcut in the toolbox. The shortcut '1' works with the image window focused and is the default shortcut to set the Zoom ratio to 1:1.

2) only the shortcut '1' is clearly suggested in the zoom menu of the gimp to zoom to 1:1. Is it possible to give other shorcuts for the other sizes (2:1 or 1:2, for instance) and how?

You can easily assign other shortcuts. This is explained in the startup tips.
