I am very new to the Python scripting in Gimp. I have used Gimp in the past for manipulating individual images, but now I have to run specific operations on hundreds of images. So I checked into the scripting options. I discarded Script-fu, as I am familiar with programming languages like C, C++, etc., but the Schemes thing is quite different. Python, on the other hand is similar enough.

So, to start out I looked at some sample scripts like this one:

Hello,


What is the easiest way to explicitly crop from any edge? e.g. how to crop, say, 8px from the left, 10px from the right, and 12px from the bottom without using a mouse? A text box where I can enter the number or numbers I want would be good.

The instructions for changing a selection don't work for me. Can the same be done for a rectangular selection box using absolute or relative coordinates, i.e. a modal windows with four text boxes that dynamically shows the new selection rectangle on the image?


Thanks in advance

Not Gimp but it is GEGL A 50 second animation https://i.imgur.com/Y2Scdr8.mp4 700+ frames so a bit large for a gif

One of the frames from the middle:

   

I had Gimp 2.10.12 on my machine. While working an image, my fingers slipped and suddenly my tools/dialog box was much different:  fewer tool icons were displayed, and the dialog box was completely unfamiliar:  the dialog box also did not change depending on which tool (of the fewer tools) I chose.  So while I can choose "text", I am, for example, unable to choose a  font, and while I can choose "brush", I am unable to choose the size of my brush. The new dialog box window(s?) contain nothing.

   

I had been working with black as my foreground color and red as the background. That is relevant; please bear with me.

I went into Windows (10; 64-bit) "Settings" and uninstalled Gimp 2.10.12.  I went to gimp.org and downloaded 2.10.20.  I opened the new Gimp -- and I have the same reduced tool menu, the same unreadable, unworkable dialog box(es) -- AND THE SAME COLORS, black (foreground) & red (background).

I uninstalled & downloaded again. Didn't help.

I ran CCleaner, complete with "wipe free space", restarted my computer and tried again.  Once again the new download displays the same abbreviated tool menu, the same lack of usable dialog for the tools, AND THE SAME COLORS.

??? It feels like the old, broken version is somehow "haunting" my machine & corrupting the new downloads....

Please note, in the image labeled "normal gimp" -- that's Gimp 2.8, which I have on an old machine, but the tool/dialog box looks much like what I *used* to have in 2.10.12, & what I expect to see:
   

Hello,
The gimp window fills the entire screen and I cannot access the unit or scale boxes at the bottom of the screen.
In addition the toolbox extends right down the screen and I cannot access the functions at the bottom.
Any help to resolve this issue would be gratefully received,
                                                                                           Yours,
                                                                                         halligant

Anyone ever used this plugin? The one in the post (link here included) promise that it is working. I've tried to used it, placed the downloaded files in the /user/app/...but don't find the plugin in gimp (even with the plug-in browser). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I am a new member who just joins today. Perhaps somebody can help me please. I would like to automatically extract speech baloon/bubble and panel of a comic book. Example is given below. What would be the best technique in GIMP to do this please. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This is bound to be a really simple problem. 
I downloaded an image. I needed to replace some things with white Problem is, when I open the color menu to select the color white, it doesn't actually draw the color white.

Here we see what the color menu option looks like, and the color it drew onto my image.
Thanks for your time.

Using pencil+left click drag to make straight lines. Doing a double left click to end line does not work, it remains in draw mode ?
Looking for quickest way.

Thanks

After failing for the fourth time, I give up for today.

someone else in trouble trying to access GimpChat?
