Google Summer of Code Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more developers into open source software development.

summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/202...

GIMP’s accepted for the Google Summer of Code - see link for details & some project ideas.

We have a no-AI policy: we need people who’ll understand the code they write - it needs to be maintained.

Maybe there is a problem with PandaJim’s packaging? We don’t make the packages for distributions (can’t, in general, in fact).

We’ve heard worse rants, don’t worry :-)

How did this break your plug-ins? Did it mean they did not show up in the menus?

Looks like Rudolf Koch’s Neuland font (commercial) to me. Manfred Klein i think did a version which may be free.

Where there’s a will thereś a way.

In GIMP you make each layer a frame, and file/export as/filename.gif, and choose Animated. You can control the speed by putting `(300ms)` (for eample) after the end of a layer name.

The image must be in Indexed mode, no layer groups.

Nous essayons de faire en sorte que GIMP ne fonctionne pas chez vous ; c’est un code secret qui vous détecte :-)

Non ! Vous êtes sur Mac ? Le problème pourrait venir du Centre de sécurité.

Sounds like you may have an old copy of twin.exe in your GIMP profile folder under plug-ins. If so, remove it (or move it well out of GIMP’s sight!)

In our case we mean freedom in the sense of the GNU Public Licence and the Four Freedoms: freedom to run the program, to study its source code, to redistribute exact copies, and to redistribute modified versions.

In human terms this means you own your data.

GIMP GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program: The Free and Open Source Image Editor

This is most likely a false positive - a file detected as containing a virus that actually doesn't, but that has the same fingerprint (checksum) as one that would. I am assuing you got GIMP directly from gimp.org of curse.

If you are getting GIMP directly from gimp.org, then no, no virus, it’s almost always a false positive. This happens quite often unfortunately.

It’s possible, since the feature isn’t in GIMP yet, so who knows? If you are (or know) a programmer wanting to work on it, we’d love to hear more. But at least one professional animator is involved, which is promising.
