Sorting Open File

When opening a file, is there any way to sort the list (in a directory) so that the ones created last are at the top? Currently, unless I know the name of the file, I have to search the whole list because it's arranged alphabetically.

Also, I take a lot of digital photos and need to rotate many of my images. Is there a faster way to do this (other than Image/transforms/rotate/90 degrees), perhaps a macro linked to a function key?

Thanks, Wayne

I turn my camera the other way so I have to ratate 270. Doing it with the menu is quite painful but you can create your own shortcut for any menu. Right-click to bring up the image menu and release the mouse button, don't hold and drag as you move the mouse. Now move the mouse, navigating to the item you want a shortcut for and hover over it. Finally press the key combination you want to assign to the function (I use Shift-Alt-R for rotate) and it will be assigned as the shortcut for that menu item. If it was already in use elsewhere, the previous assignment will be discarded in favour of the new one.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

THis is the coolest way of doing shortcuts I've ever seen!

Man the gimp is cool.

Hope this helps.

Fantastic! This opens up a new world for me.

No need for a macro. Go through the menus to the function, but do not click it. With the pointer on the function, press the desired hotkey. This works everywhere in the gimp. I set mine as follows: 90 Degrees 9
180 Degress 8
270 Degress 7

Open Type Fonts in GIMP

I run GIMP under Redhat Linux 8 and use the free fonts that I downloaded for Linux. I am thinking about getting some Open Type Fonts from Adobe for use under Win98 where I run QuarkXPress and I am wondering if I will also be able to make them work in Linux with GIMP.

Thanks,

Matt

The new freetype and pango should be able to handle OpenType fonts (http://www.pango.org/font-resources.shtml). I have not seen such font yet, so I can't tell from experience.

You should be able to. I've installed about 100 or so Windows TrueType fonts on my Linux system and can use most of them without any problems at all. The ones I have problems with are ones XFree86 has "problems" with so gimp, naturally, "inherits" those problems.

Good luck!

Peace...
