  Where does it go?
Posted by: sallyanne - 01-10-2022, 07:51 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

The last gimp build I had 2.10.22 had a Raw editing Program already in it. (I don't remember installing one)
I am now using 2.10.30 and it doesn't have any but is telling me I can install RawTherapee or Darktable to open Raws
I have downloaded them...where do I put them?

  Re-installing Gimp 2.10
Posted by: rich2005 - 01-08-2022, 01:43 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (1)

Windows users often seem to re-install Gimp for whatever-reasons Wink often with no result because the user profile remains.
However, sometimes it is necessary, for example, installing Gimp in a different location.
This a pdf walk-through of the stages using the Gimp installer with the Customize option

thumbnail:
   


The pdf , "on the drawing board" a while, but finally got it down to a reasonable size.
Edit: Spot the mistake, fixed now, duplicated graphic, hate these pdfs, sometimes have mind of their own.

  Making PDF
Posted by: Al- - 01-08-2022, 01:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

I want to make a PDF with pages of different sizes and I add them as layers to the first page but Gimp crops the ones which are bigger than the first page. How can I do it then?

  How do I get GIMP to open the default canvas when I click File>new?
Posted by: rickytickytock - 01-08-2022, 03:04 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

You know when you open Gimp and it has a default canvas? This:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401729229039075328/929205142694281286/unknown.png
How do you get it to open that default canvas when you click File>new? Because it asks me to define all these properties when I click new, like this:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401729229039075328/929205604726235176/unknown.png
But I just want that canvas that you get by default when you open the program. How do I do that? Thanks.

Photo Reading DJVU
Posted by: Jan-80 - 01-07-2022, 03:37 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (2)

Hello,

I found there is a module for GIMP to read .djvu files on https://github.com/cosmiclattes/gimpDjvu

That is from 8 years ago, so I assume it must  be incorporated into the main program by now. Actually, when installing GIMP on my Windows machine, it declares itself as the default reader for djvu-files. And yet, it doesn't work. I assume because the proper open library, referenced in the above github page, is not installed for GIMP. How do I do that?

I'm running  GIMP 2.10.8 on Windows 10 Pro.

The error message is:



GIMP Message

Opening 'H:\ (filename) .djvu' failed: Unknown file type


Or is it something else ?

Regards,

  Python plugin development
Posted by: Milarck - 01-06-2022, 07:26 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

Hello here! 

I've been trying to make a Python plugin for Gimp for two days now. For now, my goal is quite simple, I want to be able to create / duplicate layers, etc. 

So I made my python file, put it in the right folder, registered it, etc. 

Here is the code I got for now: 

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

from gimpfu import *


def test_function(image, drawable):
   pdb.gimp_drawable_set_name(drawable, "My new layer name")
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 1")
   
   width = drawable.width
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 2")
   
   height = drawable.height
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 3")
   
   img = gimp.image(width, height, RGB)
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 4")
   
   layer_one = gimp.layer(img, "My layer", width, height, RGB_IMAGE, 100, NORMAL_MODE)
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 5")
   
   img.add_layer(layer_one, 0)
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 6")
   

register(
   "python-fu-test-function",
   "Test script",
   "This is a test script",
   "Me", "Me", "2022",
   "Test",
   "",
   [
       (PF_IMAGE, "image", "takes current image", None),
       (PF_DRAWABLE, "drawable", "Input layer", None)
   ],
   [],
   test_function, menu="<Image>/File")  # second item is menu location

main()

As a result, I got displayed in the warning console: 

"Test 1"
"Test 2"
"Test 3"

And that's it. It seems that the line "img = gimp.image(width, height, RGB)" stops the script (without error message), while nothing seems particularly off with it. 
Actually, this line of code was copy pasted from this documentation (sample, section 2.1).  

As I'm working on this, I have the feeling to be dealing with a development that seems quite random. Not having the possibility to work in a proper development environment is really tiring, each time I'm coming up with something I have to save the python script, go in gimp, launch the script, see if it works, retry...

Do someone have advices on this matter?

Thank you very much.
