I mistakenly omitted two plug-ins from the latest binary distribution of Gimpshop. I’ve updated Gimpshop 2.2.11 for OS X so that it now includes the missing plug-ins.
I put together a quick fix (60K) for those of you who would rather not download the entire 85 MB install again. Make sure you read the readme file.
I also omitted one thanks. I’m not sure how, but I forgot to thank Aaron Voisine, creator of the original Gimp.app. Without Aaron’s help and patience, I would not have been able to create the Gimpshop Universal Binary that I find myself using more and more each day (thanks primarily to Photoshop’s slow load time on my Intel-based Mac and the fact that I don’t have the luxury of Photoshop on my Mac at work).
What was missing?
macclipboard – Enables copy and paste between Gimpshop and your Mac system’s clipboard. Macclipboard allows you to copy and paste images from any OS X program into Gimpshop. You’ll find these copy and paste functions (Paste from Clipboard and Copy to Clipboard) at the BOTTOM OF THE EDIT MENU.
macfile – Macfile adds “Show in Finder” to the BOTTOM OF THE FILE MENU.
Sorry for the oopsie!
Gimpshop 2.2.11 Universal Application (85 MB) for OS X Tiger (Intel & PowerPC) and Panther.
Want to complie Gimpshop for other operating systems? Get the Gimpshop 2.2.11 source (13 MB) and start hacking.
Thanks to your generous donations – with a very special thanks to Wil Shipley and the Delicious Monster guys! – a Universal Gimpshop App for Intel-based Macs is here.
Some caveats:
1. Because of the bandwidth drain that I expect this may cause, please don’t link directly to the binary. If you post a link, please either link to this blog post, the Gimpshop page OR mirror the file on your own server. Thanks!
2. I’ve only tested it on my new Intel-based Mac (on which it was built). I would love to hear any successes or failures in the comments with Intel-based OS X machines.
3. For IntelMac Gimpshop users: Because of a byte-swapping issue with Intel-based Macs and X11, your Gimpshop.app cursors may appear a very light yellow color (instead of black) until you run this fix. Yellow cursors are no fun. This is an Intel-based Mac X11 issue, not a Gimp issue.
4. If you’re running OS X 10.4 Tiger and don’t currently have X11 installed, make sure you install X11 from your Tiger OS X Install DVD. The installer package (X11User.pkg) is located in the disc’s System folder. The version of X11 available for download from Apple’s website is not compatible (as far as I can tell) with Tiger.
