.SH OPTIONS
|

The \fIgimp\fP accepts the following options:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-h, \-\-help
|
|
Display a list of all commandline options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-v, \-\-version
|
|
Output the version info.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-b, \-\-batch \fI<commands>\fP
|
|
Execute the set of \fI<commands>\fP non-interactively. The set
|
|
of \fI<commands>\fP is typically in the form of a script that
|
|
can be executed by one of the Gimp scripting extensions.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-n, \-\-no-interface
|
|
Run without a user interface.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-\-no\-data
|
|
Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful
|
|
in non-intractive situations where startup time is to be minimized.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-\-verbose
|
|
Show startup messages. FIXME!
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-\-no\-shm
|
|
Do not use shared memory between GIMP and its plugins.
|
|
Instead of using shared memory, GIMP will send the data via pipe. This
|
|
will result in slower performance than using shared memory.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-\-no\-xshm
|
|
Do not use the X Shared Memory extension. If GIMP is being displayed
|
|
on a remote X server, this probabaly needs to be enabled. Also useful
|
|
for any X server that doesnt properly support the X shared memory extension.
|
|
This will result in slower performance than with X shared memory enabled.

.SH SUGGESTIONS AND BUG REPORTS
|
|
Any bugs found should be reported to the Gimp Developer mailing list
|
|
at gimp-developer@scam.xcf.berkeley.edu. Before reporting bugs, please
|
|
check to see if the bug is mentioned in the FAQ's or the mailing list
|
|
archive. See the section on Other Info for locations of these.
|
|
When supporting Gimp bugs, it is important to include a
|
|
reliable way to reproduce the bug, verison number of Gimp (and
|
|
probabaly GTK), OS name and verison, and any relevent hardware
|
|
specs. It is also very important to include as much info about the
|
|
Xserver the problem was found on as possible including at least server
|
|
name, the visual, and the bit depth.
|
|
If a bug is causing a crash, it is very useful if a stack trace
|
|
can be provided. And of course, patches to rectify the bug are even
|
|
better.
