  Script-fu error on selecting font
Posted by: allanmitch - 07-14-2021, 02:01 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

I am getting error messages from script-fu. 

For example, I opened File-->Create-->Fx-Foundry-->Logos-->Fiery Steel.  When I select the Font box to change the Font I get the following message.


Quote:GIMP Message

Plug-in "script-fu"
(usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu)
attempted to install procedure "temp-procedure-
number-1" with invalid parameter name "dialog status".

                                                               OK

The font can not be changed.
Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?
I am using GIMP 2.10.8 on Ubuntu Studio 20.04.  Any other info needed?

I am trying to draw an offset border (red in the figure) around an object shown in the figure. The offset border should have the same profile as the object. I tried selecting object, creating a border, scaling it however, I couldn't manage to get what I want. Would you help please?

  how to know image opened as svg
Posted by: snowforest - 07-14-2021, 10:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

I opened an svg image that I exported with librecad's "export as makercam svg" option and gimp opened the svg with transparent backgroun but an ellipse in my drawing was distorted.
Then I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. Then I opened that image in gimp. Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg?

Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?

  cant open RAW via RawTherapee
Posted by: riquez - 07-13-2021, 12:33 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (5)

I have Gimp 2.10.24 on Ubuntu 21.04
I have set Gimp as the external editor in RawTherapee 5.8 (RT)


When I click the External Edit button in RT, Gimp launches but an error appears "Opening '/tmp/DSC06216.tif' failed: Error opening file /tmp/DSC06216.tif: No such file or directory"

I checked /tmp dir & tif files are generated & user has permission to read/write those files.

I tried setting Gimp prefs for Raw import as Placeholder & RawTherapee, but the result is the same.
I also installed darktable, but no option for import shows up for that in Gimp.

  Is it possible to smooth the edges of a font?

I love this font but I do not love the wavy edges. Is there a way to sharpen it up in gimp?

  Import CR3 using rawtherapee plugin
Posted by: stosh - 07-13-2021, 03:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I am trying to import Canon R5 CR3 files into GIMP - my understanding is I needed to install the newest Rawtherapee 5.8 plugin (which I did).

When I try the import into GIMP all I get is a giant white square with no picture.

So I tried opening Rawtherapee directly - the preview thumbnails look great - but when I click on one it also becomes just a white rectangle.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I have to set?

Also - what is the best method - directly pulling into GIMP using the Rawtherapee plugin or using Rawtherapee itself as a stand-alone and exporting it as a TIFF and then importing that into GIMP? I want to retain as much data from the RAW file as I can.

Thanks in advance

  Gimp Font & Mode and Opacity Box size.
Posted by: daiappy - 07-12-2021, 09:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

   
    Hi - can anyone help? I don't know what the names of these Gimp parts of the toolbox are called that I've circled in red.  Does anyone know how to make the Font and the Mode & Opacity boxes larger, like you can enlarge the tool icon sizes and the interface themes found in preferences. I use them a lot and they are so small I keep adjusting them the wrong way with the mouse. I read somewhere a thread on this subject from five years ago but it didn't seem to have a clear answer. Has someone found how to make them larger since then, please?                Charles.
