The Gimp on Mac OS X: need for double click
2008 december 17
So I didn’t want to spend any cash on PhotoShop and installed The Gimp on my MacBook. Unfortunately, The Gimp runs in X11 and that gives one little but very annoying problem: everytime I change window (e.g.: from Tools to the picture window itself), I have to click twice to do the action I want: first to get focus on the window, and then to do the action I want to do.
defaults write org.x.X11 wm_click_through -bool true
Enter it in a terminal, and restart X11.
Er is ook nog altijd LimeWire. Zo heb ik van horen zeggen he.
The Gimp suits me just fine.
did not work for me. (new macbook pro from jan 09)
I upgraded to the last version of x11, and selected click through inactive window on the preferences.
That did the trick for me.
Awesome help! Thanks
Since this is the first result I got about double-clicking in GIMP, I thought I’d leave this tidbit here: For those with OSX earlier than Leopard 10.5.5, the command is:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
