  ofn-layer-aligner
Posted by: ncc - 04-23-2021, 08:51 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

I used to get the "ofn-layer-aligner"-Plugin to run on Debian Buster, but "gimp-python" is not available on Bullseye, and it looks like it doesn't need it anymore? I don't get "ofn-layer-aligner" to show up in GIMP on Debian Bullseye. Did something change so it is not compatible anymore?

Thanks for help!

  Plug-in missing
Posted by: Zero01 - 04-23-2021, 12:05 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

The 'follow-path5.py' plug-in, used it in GIMP 2.10.22 the other day, no issues... today it's not even showing there, i.e. Vectors ➤ Tools ➤ Follow Path
It's definitely in the plug-ins folder (App Data\Roaming..) and the folder preferences are pointing to the correct directories so... ??
Any ideas ('cos I'm stumped!)
Thanks.

  Managing tool options and window positions
Posted by: Ofnuts - 04-23-2021, 08:28 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (2)

There are two ways to manage tool options in Gimp:

  1. Always start with the same settings. This is best if you work on various projects, and also if you are a beginner, because you can then reset the options by restarting Gimp
  2. Saving your settings between Gimp sessions. This can be useful if you work on a few big projects
The choice of behavior is directed by the options in Edit ➤ Preferences ➤ Tool options ➤ General ➤ Save tool options on exit. You want this unchecked for option #1, checked for option #2:

   

If you use option #1, you have to make sure once for all that your default options are to your liking by either:
  • Click the Reset Saved Tool options to default values  button:
   

Or:
  • Make sure that the following are as you want them:
    • All options in all tools (for instance font and font size in the Text tool, or the "corrective" flag in transforms)
    • The current brush, gradient, pattern, and the foreground and background colors
    • The active tool
  • Click the Save Tool Options Now button:
   

Your options are similar for window positions, but this is usually less critical. Saving window positions is often a good idea, but be careful if you use several monitors, a saved window position can end up on a screen that is no longer here. Settings are in Edit ➤ Preferences ➤ Interface ➤ Window management ➤ Window positions:

   

A last place to check with a similar choice is Edit ➤ Preferences ➤ Input devices for input options mostly related to painting:

  VDF in GIMP
Posted by: Winston - 04-23-2021, 12:46 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

Is it possible to use VDF plugin video effects as picture effects in GIMP, and if not, could you add the feature? Could I convert a VDF to PY somehow? Could I download a plugin and open as an effect, and type the path and open VDF in GIMP?

Yes, I know, videos are in motion. At least applying as 1 frame might work... Right?

  Remove plain background, set it transparent
Posted by: bobJ - 04-22-2021, 10:07 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

Hello,

I have 1500 png to process so I'm searching a script/plugin to do this.

Given a png, I would like the script to do the following:
- do a magic selection (wand/fuzzy) with starting point coordinattes 1,1 (I know this pixel is the background color)
- remove this selection and have transparency instead

I tried this script in a plugin via BIMP:

Code:
def plugin_use_fuzzy(timg, tdrawable):
   
    pdb.gimp_layer_add_alpha(timg)
    pdb.gimp_image_select_contiguous_color(timg, 0, tdrawable, 1, 1)
    sel = pdb.gimp_image_get_selection(timg)
    pdb.gimp_edit_cut(sel)
But it does nothing.
Could you help me please?

  GIMP V2.99.4 Flatpak Python Issue
Posted by: programmer_ceds - 04-22-2021, 04:49 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (11)

I have installed V2.99.4 flatpak and can run this or V2.10.24 as I wish but not quite in the way suggested where you have to use a flatpak command to select the version that is to be run (beta or stable). If I use the command to select the beta version the Menu/Graphics/GNU Image Manipulation Entry always starts V2.10.24. To start V2.99.4 I have a bash script. I'm not sure that this is relevant to the issue noted below.

When I start V2.99.4 in a terminal window I see the following error message:

Gtk-Message: 17:32:23.772: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

So far as I can tell I have this module installed (file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/modules/libxapp-gtk3-module.so exists)

I have also taken the text for the Python Goat exercise and renamed all occurrences of 'goat' to 'goatee' and placed the file in a subfolder of the user plug-ins folder but it doesn't appear in the GIMP menus. Initially I made the mistake of placing it directly in the plug-ins folder and received a warning from GIMP - so it is looking in the user plug-ins folder.

The latest version of the python goat exercise script, as downloaded from the gitlab site, contains statements that it relies on Gimp 3.0 and GimpUi 3.0 - I have tried changing these to 2.99 since that is the beta version - this had no effect.

Has anybody else had more success in this respect?

I thought I would go through the scripts that I have written and those that I have downloaded from elsewhere and update them for GIMP 3 if I could (starting off by running them in V2.10.24 with the --pdb-compat-mode=warn option to report deprecated scripts). I have successfully updated all the .scm files - some run without a problem but many fail with the (known) error message about GimpObjectArray being an unknown return type - I think I just have to retest these when V2.99.6 becomes available. However, as noted above I have hit a problem with the .py files.

  half of the tools don't work
Posted by: bombitmd - 04-22-2021, 03:52 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I can't find any solution on the Internet.  Everything used to work a few weeks ago, now half of the tools won't work.  

Works:  
- move
- select tools
- crop
- scale tools
- paint bucket tools
- text tool
- colors

WON'T WORK:
- pencil, paintbrush, etc
- eraser
- clone
- smudge

I've followed all the recommendations I could find.  It's in RGB mode.

I'm stumped

  toolbox (mostly) hidden behind 'tool options'
Posted by: ottenm - 04-22-2021, 12:17 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Periodically, I open GIMP and it looks like the toolbox is missing. But on closer look, a little sliver of it is sticking up above ... is it 'tool options'? The top row is actually usable if I can remember which icon is which.

I know I can get it back following Edit > Preferences > Interface> Window Management > Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values, and then exiting and restarting GIMP (and moving and resizing the window back), but every couple of days it's becoming tedious/frustrating.

Any ideas?
