The Hebrew translation of the Gimp is very difficult to use because some items were reversed for Right-to-Left, but the places to click were not. Therefore, I'd like to use the gimp in English while keeping my locale Hebrew. I created a bash script in ~/bin called gimp and added it to my path: [dotancohen@localhost bin]$ pwd /home/dotancohen/bin [dotancohen@localhost bin]$ ls -l --snip-- -rwxrwxr-- 1 dotancohen dotancohen 32 אפר 22 10:44 gimp [dotancohen@localhost bin]$ cat gimp #!/bin/bash export LANG=C gimp
[dotancohen@localhost bin]$ cat ~/.bash_profile --snip-- PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH [dotancohen@localhost bin]$
However, when I right-click a file and "Open with Gimp" it does not open. What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance.

The script calls itself, recursively. Instead, change the call to gimp in the script to use an absolute path name /usr/bin/gimp, and while you're at it, also pass any command line arguments on. So the line becomes:
/usr/bin/gimp "$@"

How do you get Gimp to print an Image instead of all text characters

Look for the printer command line in the print dialog, starts with lpr. Delete the "-oraw" option at the end of the command line and save settings. Next time it will use the modified command line and you don't need to set it again. You can now print images instead of the Postscript representation of it _raw_.

I can't believe I didn't realize that's what it was doing. Thanks!
