  Missing script-fu "refresh scripts" submenu
Posted by: Frenchie - 07-01-2025, 07:20 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (11)

Hello,
Sorry for my bad English (translated by Google Translate),
I just downloaded version 3.0.4 of Gimp. Previously, I was using version 2.10.38.
I created several scripts that worked fine with version 2.10. Following the changes made in version 3.0, some functions have disappeared (for example, gimp-image-set-active-layer was replaced by gimp-image-set-selected-layers) or their parameters are different (for example, gimp-edit-copy has a new parameter "vector").
Updates are tedious (edit the script - test - edit again... until the script works correctly).
In version 2.10, it was possible to edit the script file (.scm) and have the update taken into account in Gimp via the "refresh scripts" submenu. However, this submenu is missing in version 3.0. You must therefore close Gimp and reopen it each time you make a change.
Do you know if there is a way to either make the "refresh scripts" submenu appear or to take script changes into account without closing Gimp?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,

I'm contacting you as part of the management of a macOS IT estate with an MDM (Mosyle), and I need to know which processes need to be on the application whitelist to be able to run GIMP and its features correctly?

  Can't see GIMP windows
Posted by: Tankred - 06-30-2025, 12:12 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (3)

I have used GIMP for years. I upgraded to 3.0 and can't see any of the windows. I have it pinned to the taskbar ande tried to run it from there, nothing.
The services are running in Task Manager, both gdbus and GIMP. I deleted the sessionrc folder and restarted. I have reinstalled it many times. My graphics driver is up to date.
Here is what I have for my computer:

  • Motherboard Name Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero  (1 PCI-E x4, 2 PCI-E x16, 5 M.2, 4 DDR5 DIMM, Audio, Video, 2.5GbE LAN, 2 Thunderbolt 4, WiFi)
  • Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER  (16376 MB)
  • Operating System Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
 
and various normal things.
I am a total loss because I have never seen this and I am a computer technician/cybersecuritry analyst.

Please help as I have been thru almost every suggestion on Google!

Thanks

Question Trying to append part of image to the edge of the same image.
Posted by: Denarius - 06-29-2025, 10:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I have a PNG image that I need to widen about 5 millimeters to accommodate a bleed for printing. I’m trying to take a slice from the edge and append it to the same edge to create a wider image.
 
So I use the Rectangle Select and select a thin slice. Then I copy it and paste it back into the image. But it pastes as an outline only with no color fill. When I try to move it into position at the edge of the image, it remains only an outline with no color.
 
I noticed that if I paste it into a new image, it has the color fill. But then I try to copy it from the new image to the original image, it’s only an outline again.
 
With a bit of googling, I learned that the slice I copied was a “floating selection.”  At Google’s suggestion, I tried “anchor layer” and the image is the same as it was originally. I don’t see the new copy and pasted slice.
 
So Google said maybe the canvas is too small to show the added slice. So I enlarged the canvas but I still don’t see the new slice.
 
What am I doing wrong? Very grateful for any assistance.

  Updating Python Scripts to Gimp 3
Posted by: PetterPaan - 06-28-2025, 12:13 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (1)

Hi all - I get only errors on PythonConsole 3.04, so my question focuses on a first step line thats "load xcf by script":


GIMP 3.0.4 Python Console
Python 3.12.10 (main, Apr 18 2025, 06:12:22)  [GCC UCRT Clang 20.1.3 64 bit (AMD64)]
➤> import gi
➤> import os
➤> xcfFile = file.xcf.load("E:/TemporaryD/AIWorld/Design/TShirts/2304.xcf")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'file' is not defined


Almost all tries with different imports result in similar errors - I tried it for hours, so I cannot remember
what I tried and what not. If anyone here gets this one line running (different path of course) he/she
may ask Tinkerbell for a gift...

  Missing fonts when exporting to PDF
Posted by: chblondel - 06-28-2025, 08:56 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (9)

Hello,
When exporting my project as a PDF, I get a warning message about missing fonts possibly leading to quality issues (indeed happening).
It says that the following fonts cannot be found: gimpfont229, gimpfont640, gimpfont882. See attachment.
I could not find any related article, nor could find the fonts themselves.
Would you have any clue?
Thanks for your support.

  GIMP 3.0.4 Script-Fu Batch Issue: SF-TOGGLE Without Run-Mode
Posted by: AgHornet - 06-27-2025, 10:20 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

Hi
Hoping someone might be able to help. I've tried so many ways to get this to register and run this simple example in batch mode on gimp 3.0.4
This particular example I am able to register but when its run it fails with a parameter mismatch. 

If I change SF-TOGGLE to something else like SF-INT it does not register. 
I've tried add run-mode the param definition, command line and registry but no combination seems to work. My understanding for 3.x.x is that I dont need to add it as it is automatically added.

I run this from a windows 11 command line. 
In the case of attempts that don't register (I open GUI go to Help > Plug in Browser and search for my script) I don't see any errors in the console (Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Error console) relating to registration problems.
I have put the script in ..Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins\test-args

Minimal Test Case That Failed
#!/usr/bin/env gimp-script-fu-interpreter-3.0

(define (script-fu-test-args arg1 arg2 arg3)
  (script-fu-use-v3)
  (gimp-message (string-append
                "Arg1 (Toggle): " (if arg1 "TRUE" "FALSE") "\n"
                "Arg2 (String): " arg2 "\n"
                "Arg3 (String): " arg3 "\n"))
)

(script-fu-register
  "script-fu-test-args"
  "Test Args"
  "Test argument passing"
  "Author"
  "2024"
  ""
  SF-TOGGLE "Toggle Test" TRUE
  SF-STRING "First String" ""
  SF-STRING "Second String" ""
)

Command Used
gimp -i --batch-interpreter=plug-in-script-fu-eval -b "(script-fu-test-args TRUE \"test1\" \"test2\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

Error output
batch command experienced an execution error:
Error: in script, expected type: numeric for argument 2 to script-fu-test-args
Stopping at failing batch command [0]: (script-fu-test-args TRUE "test1" "test2")

Expected Behaviour
Script registers with one toggle and two string parameters
Batch mode should accept: Boolean TRUE/FALSE for the toggle. Two string arguments.
Should output the three parameter values

Observed Behaviour
Script registers successfully in GUI
Appears in menu
Batch mode fails with type mismatch for argument 2

Key Differences from GIMP 2.x
3.x seems to:
Handle the toggle parameter differently
Require numeric values even for registered strings
Have stricter type checking in batch interpreter

(Tested on Windows 11, GIMP 3.0.4)

Thumbs Down Windows save
Posted by: Jukken - 06-26-2025, 10:51 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have three monitors and a TV connected to my PC.
TV is usally turned off.

Gimp is on one of the monitors.

I go to Save As or Export As in gimp. 
The pop-up where I put in name for the file is nowhere to be seen. Nothing.

Then I turn on the TV - and there it is. Extremly frustrating.
I drag the save-window to the correct monitor.

I then go to Preferences and go to Window management - Save Window Positions Now.

ok, all good - so I thought.

Shut down Gimp and restart program.
Try and save again - and the **** save-window tops up on my friggin TV (that is shut off). 

How do I actually save EVERY gimp-window on the correct monitor?
