Most often, you start GIMP either by clicking on an icon (if your system is set up to provide you with one), or by typing gimp on a command line. If you have multiple versions of GIMP installed, you may need to type gimp-2.6 to get the latest version. You can, if you want, give a list of image files on the command line after the program name, and they will automatically be opened by GIMP as it starts. It is also possible, though, to open files from within GIMP once it is running.
Most operating systems support file associations, which associates a class of files (as determined by their filename extension, such as .jpg) with a corresponding application (such as GIMP). When image files are properly “associated” to GIMP, you can double click on an image to open it in GIMP.
The GIMP is the most widely supported image manipulation available today. The platforms on which GIMP is known to work include:
GNU/Linux™, Apple Mac OS X™, Microsoft Windows™, OpenBSD™, NetBSD™, FreeBSD™, Solaris™, SunOS™, AIX™, HP-UX™, Tru64™, Digital UNIX™, OSF/1™, IRIX™, OS/2™, and BeOS™.
The GIMP is easily ported to other operating systems because of its source code availability. For further information visit the GIMP developers homepage. [GIMP-DEV].
GIMP automatically detects and uses the system language. In the unlikely event that language detection fails, or if you just want to use a different language, you may do so:
In LINUX: in console mode,
type LANGUAGE=en gimp or
LANG=en gimp
replacing en by fr, de, ... according to the language you
want. Background: Using LANGUAGE=en
sets an environment variable for the executed
program gimp.
En Windows XP: Panel de control/Sistema/Avanzado/botón "Entorno"/ En el área "Variables del sistema": botón "Agregar": Ingresar LANG en Nombre y el código del lenguaje (es, fr, de, en, etc) en Valor. Advertencia: necesita clicar sucesivamente en tres "Aceptar" para validar la opción.
If you change languages often, you can create a batch file to change the language. Open NotePad. Type the following commands (for french for instance):
set lang=fr
start gimp-2.6.exe
Save this file as GIMP-FR.BAT (or another
name, but always with a
.BAT extension). Create
a shortcut and drag it to your desktop.
Another possibility: → → Then and select the language you want in the dropdown list.
From System Preferences, click on the International icon. In the Language tab, the desired language should be the first in the list.
Use -n to run multiple instances GIMP.
For example, use gimp-2.6 to start GIMP
in the default system language, and
LANGUAGE=en gimp-2.6 -n to start another
instance of GIMP in English; this is very
useful for translators.
Although arguments are not required when starting
GIMP, the most
common arguments are shown below. On a Unix system, you can use
man gimpfor a complete list.
Command line arguments must be in the command line that you use to start GIMP as gimp-2.6 [OPTION...] [FILE|URI...].
Muestra un listado de todas las opciones de la línea de comandos.
Show all help options.
Show GTK+ Options.
Print the GIMP version and exit.
Show license information and exit.
Muestra mensajes detallados del inicio.
Start a new GIMP instance.
Open images as new.
Run without a user interface.
No carga patrones, gradientes, paletas, ni brochas. A menudo es útil cuando se quiere minimizar el tiempo de inicio, en situaciones de uso no interactivo.
Do not load any fonts. This is useful to load GIMP faster for scripts that do not use fonts, or to find problems related to malformed fonts that hang GIMP.
No muestra la pantalla de inicio al lanzarse.
Do not use shared memory between GIMP and plugins.
Do not use special CPU acceleration functions. Useful for finding or disabling buggy accelerated hardware or functions.
name
Use a different sessionrc for this
GIMP
session. The given session name is appended to the default
sessionrc filename.
filename
Utiliza un archivo de configuración gimprc alternativo en lugar del que existe por omisión. El archivo gimprc contiene un registro de las preferencias. Es útil en los casos en que las rutas de los complementos (plug-ins) o las especificaciones del sistema pueden variar.
filename
Use an alternate system gimprc file.
commands
Execute the set of commands non-interactively. The set of commands
is typically in the form of a script that can be executed by one
of the GIMP scripting extensions.
When the command is -, commands
are read from standard input.
proc
Specify the procedure to use to process batch commands. The default procedure is Script-Fu.
No aparecen diálogos informando de errores o advertencias. En cambio, se imprimen mensajes en la consola.
mode
PDB compatibility mode (off|on|warn).
mode
Debug in case of a crash (never|query|always).
Enable non-fatal debugging signal handlers. Useful for GIMP debugging.
Make all warnings fatal. Useful for debug.
Output a gimprc file with default settings. Useful if you messed up the gimprc file.
display
Usa la pantalla de X especificada (esta opción no se aplica al GIMP en Microsoft Windows)
