A bit, Tommy. How much familiarity are you looking for?
I need to make an image wider. But not scale it. Basicaly I need to cut it in half and stick stuff in between the two pieces to make it wider.
So I increased the canvas size (Made it wider). Then I copied a section on the right and pasted it on top of the original. Now I try to move the copied section onto the new (expanded) canvas aread but it doesn't show up there.
When I increased the canvas area, did I actually increase the size of the image? If not, how do I do that? If so, why can't I move a selection onto the new canvas?
Probably because the layer your original image is on isn't the size of the full image. Play around in your layer dialog - you may need to make a new background layer and copy the image to it, or maybe just uncheck the "keep transparent" box.
Yeah, I just started messing around with layers. It's the "layer boundry size" that I needed to change. Thanks!

A friend of mine asked me how many computers I have. I said I don't know, because it depends... do I count my vintage laptops? My vintage pocket computer? My vintage laptops that are dead? Newer computers that are dead? Computers that are in various states of disassembly? And re: computers in various states of disassembly - how do I count those? By how many computers I could make if I put all the parts together?
I hadn't considered computers in disuse. Gotta add one more then, well three more if the Apple IIc and Atari 400 count.
I like Thunderbird too, especially the way mutliple E-mail accounts are handled in it.
The one negative I have against Thunderbird is that occasionally it has trouble downloading messages with bad headers (mostly spam, but not always) from certain servers (i.e., my own host's server). The bad message then just sits on the server and allows things to back up in the mailbox. I have to go into the web interface a couple of times a day to clear things out. It's a known issue, and the folks at Mozilla blame the server software, but then neither Outlook or Poco have the issue. Very annoying.
Last time I checked, Thunderbird couldn't do that.
I typically use IMAP accounts, but for POP3, there is a setting to "Leave messages on server".
The question wasn't leave vs. delete messages (which every POP client I know of can do), but delete some messages while leaving others.
