apologies if this is a duplicate ticket; I'm not sure if I submitted or
just previewed it and then closed the tab a few minutes ago.
2 problems with opening files using Gimp.app
1) gimp2 no longer builds gimp-remote by default. already submitted a bug
about that:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18473
2) on Leopard, with xquartz 2.3.2 (and I suspect also Apple's X11), the
DISPLAY variable trick in Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/openDoc no longer
works; in fact, it prevents openDoc from working at all.
Changing it to something like this:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Author: Aaron Voisine <aaron at voisine.org>
DISPFILE=/tmp/display.$UID
if [ -e $DISPFILE ]
then
export "DISPLAY=`cat $DISPFILE`"
fi
exec "/opt/local/bin/gimp-remote" "$@"
makes it work on Leopard (which doesn't set /tmp/display.nnnn), and I
imagine it would still work on older versions of OS X which do use
/tmp/display.nnn
This could be seen as an upstream bug but honestly I could not figure out
how to do submit a bug from the website at http://gimp-
app.sourceforge.net/ .
