[Klug-general] Next Meeting - 1st March 2014

[Thomas Edward Groves]

In GIMP: to select an image to open I click on Open then navigate to the
directory I want.
At this point I've got a list of files in that directory, by name, each line
starting
with a tiny patch of colour which can just be seen to be the smallest most
useless
image possible.
My question is: is there any way to make those images big enough to be
useful.

Incidentally Krita has the same thing but also has a slider to adjust the
image sizes.

The objection to using something like Gwenview to open an image is that it
opens a separate
instance of GIMP for each image and I want to have two or more images open
at once
in one instance of GIMP.

Basically GIMP's  "image browser" (what else can we call it?) is a naff
afterthought
that I would be ashamed of it was my work.
