gimp-app 2.6.0_1 openDoc failure

[edheil@…]

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:

#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@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/ .

This ticket is 12 years old, and refers to a MUCH older version of GIMP. Closing.
