hello!!
I'm now using the newest available gimp off the slackware site (actually off a mirror).
I've just found a nice function -> slicing images, through gimp guides and images->transform->guillotine.
well, this works just fine. BUT I've heard of Perl-o-Tine, which does all the saving in a desired format and its compression (jpg) for me - wow, sounds like a really cool tool. now I've downloaded the Gimp off...:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/Marc_Leh...p-1.211.tar.gz and now I'm stuck.
please.... someone..... have mercy with my poor heart.... I have no hair anymore... I've gone crazy...
this is what I get:
