Hi Nicu,

I want to create a
script that will generate a transparent gif with my email address.

Below you find a script, which makes a RGB-image with transparent background. I also tried it once with Mike Terrys totorial. I tried to convert it to INDEXED, but the output is quite ugly.

Regards, Hago

say you've already got gimp open and then you open a picture you got sent and you tell it to open with gimp, so then it opens another instance of gimp, which is silly. how do you get pictures to open in the already mounted gimp ?

Try File -> Open

Ho.ho... :-)

This is a problem that really bugs users(idiots) at my company, they hate this feature of win-gimp (because of the slow start up times).

To contact an already launched gimp use gimp-remote, not gimp. Use -n param if you want to make it run a new one if none is running.

I believe, on Windows, drag-and-drop works so you _should_ be able to drag an image to the toolbox and drop it and it will open in the currently running Gimp. I think I've done that before, but I just don't remember. :)

Peace...

In other OSes too, but on some cases you have GIMP opened in some other place, away. You can DnD other things to other places (layers to make new images, layers to other images...). But some people do not like DnD at all.
