scripts for comics trip - jacques_duflos - 05-11-2023

Hi there,
I do comics trip as a hobby. Here are some of my works. I use gimp for text, editing, sometimes coloring or texturing. I will show in this thread the scripts I did to ease some tasks. Comments and advice are welcome

This first script is made to prepare a scanned drawing. automatize de-saturating, changing contrast and light, and separate the ink from the background, so I can add a color layer in between and paint.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Im presently working on a script that makes a text bubble around a text layer.
enjoy !


RE: scripts for comics trip - Ofnuts - 05-11-2023

In the first script, instead of saving/restoring individual context settings, you should just bracket your code with gimp.context_push()/gimp.context_pop() (usually goes hand in hand with the undo_group calls).


RE: scripts for comics trip - jacques_duflos - 06-10-2023

This next script exports as png all .xcf files of the same folder as the current image in a /rendu/ folder. I use it to export all the pages of the comics Im working on. I made it with chatgpt, it's the first time I use it to program, and I'm impressed.

  • glob.glob() does the filtering and returns the list of files with full paths: for instance glob.glob('Screenshots/*.png') returns ['Screenshots/OldStyle.png', 'Screenshots/MapObjectPlaneAxis.png'] and this would avoid some file name tinkering
  • duplicating the image is somewhat wasteful, saving the result of a layer-new-from-visible is sufficient: pdb.gimp_file_save(image,  pdb.gimp_layer_new_from_visible(image, image, "## saved"), '/tmp/foo.png','/tmp/foo.png')
  • catching an exception to bury it with a pass is heinous. Good luck if you can't create the directory.

glade to hear that IAs are not ready to replace us all just yet Big Grin. I'm particularly impressed by the generation of a functional code that actually does what I asked in a human non-precise way.
About your observations :
  • glob.glob : I didn't know about this module. Is it "just" to gain one code line ? I can replace the two lines
    Code:
    fichiers_dossier = os.listdir(dossier)
     fichiers_xcf = [fichier for fichier in fichiers_dossier if fichier.endswith(".xcf")]
  • by the one line
    Code:
    fichiers_xcf = glob.glob(os.path.join(dossier, '*.xcf'))



  • duplicating the image : chatgpt originally just omitted the layer argument of the save function. I googled the problem and found a thread on stack overflow that claimed that the duplicate technique was the easiest and not-so-resource-consuming solution. But I'll take your advice, thanks.
  • skipping the directory creation : it was to avoid the error generation if the directory already exist. Chatgpt first proposed this line :
    os.makedirs(dossier_rendu, exist_ok=True)but it didn't work, because of the python version used by gimp I think (?). would the code
    Code:
    if not os.path.exists(dossier_rendu):os.makedirs(dossier_rendu)
    be more correct in your opinion ?

now my code looks like that

RE: scripts for comics trip - Ofnuts - 06-10-2023

  • glob.glob:  a bit more than this. What it returns is a list of files with paths. So you also avoir the reconstruction of the path+file later on.
  • directory: if not os.path.isdir(directory): mkdir(directory) so you avoid the error if the directory exists, and get a real error otherwise (access rights,  name is used by a file, etc...). You don't need makedirS since the parent already exist.
