|  Crying for units in GIMP
Well, in version 2.2 there was a possibility with the Cropping tool to select a rectangle in millimeters. With 2.3 it's gone. Only pixels, am I wrong?. Why, for God's sake????
Its now as stupid as in Photoshop.

| I think you might be mistaken. When I look at the cropping options available, I do see pixels as the default option, but clicking on the up/down arrows beside the px gives me lots of options for other position and size measurements, including mm.

Because there are only "Fix" buttons beside the dimensions. Probably this is a developing version. Anyway, I found out another solution: at the bottom of active picture, there's an info line showing the sizes of the actual selection, and here I can select the units. It's not as good as I could do it with panel, but I hope in 2.4 they've fixed this bug. Unfortunately I'll have to move to Mandriva 2008 to use it properly and without losing my system's stability.

That must be the difference.

| Why, I've installed Ubuntu Studio 7.10 today, together with Gimp 2.4.0-rc3, and there's the same problem: no unit selection with cropping tool!
I don't know where to download from the 2.3.4 for Ubuntu or Mandriva.

| Don't know if it will help any, but you can get the Gimp 2.4.2 deb file here: Ubuntu Software Search
