GIMP 2.10.2 (revision 1)
Windows 10

When GIMP fails to register a plugin where does it report the reason(s) for failing the registration?

GIMP 2.10.2 (revision 1)
Windows 10

I have written a plugin in Python that iteratively merges a sequence of image files creating an output image of each iteration.  
 
When I launch GIMP the plugin appears in the menu as expected but it is greyed-out.  If I open an image file the plugin becomes usable.

How do I get GIMP to activate the plugin at launch time without the need to open a random image file?

A not-so-recent script of mine, that just got an upgrade. Removes strokes from paths using various measure criteria (length, area...).

Available here.

hey guys, 
I know that it is possible to create templates for GIMP projects. I make sure that when I create it the fill with section says "fill with transparency". however when i use the template the canvas is filled with white. Is it possible to fix this problem? Thanks!

Ok so if you look at the attachement you will note that I have a Window that has a "Layers, Channels, and Paths" Dialog which is combined with a "Brushes, Patterns, Gradients dialog--that's how my Gimp originally had it set up and I've just continued to keep that because I am used to it.  Anyway, when I install Gimp on a new computer for whatever reason it has the same combo but "reversed" so that the "Bushes, Patterns, and Gradients" is on the top and the "Layers, Channels, and Paths" is on the bottom.  I just copy my preferences from the old set up to get it to have the same preferences. 

But I am trying to install the program for my wife on her MAC and so of course I can't just copy over Windows preferences (or maybe I can not sure).  I have no idea how to recreate that set up using GIMP menus.  I can add and delete tabs but I can't figure out how to recreate how I have it on my Windows computer (i.e.. as it is in the attachment).  In fact, I can't figure out how to do it on Windows either which is why I always just copy over preferences when I install Gimp on another Windows computer. Seems like it should be pretty easy.

Any help would be appreciated.

How do I test to find if an image has a selection?
What I wish to do is: If image has selection, then do something.

I'm afraid that I find the descriptions in the Python console as clear as mud! Perhaps they are OK for someone who alreay knows the answer.

ofn-remove-grid removes table borders from scanned text. It is found here.

It was spawned from this discussion.

As always, comments, suggestions and bug reports welcome.

Enjoy.

In short, I scan a PDF document and then try to edit it as text.

My problem is that I can only do this using Microsoft Word, not with Libre Office Writer or OpenOffice Writer.

With LibreOffice the file opens but does not allow me to edit it.

With OpenOffice version 4.1.7 (currently the most current), editing is allowed, but the text appears encoded. I've tried several Character Set options, but a page with ascii codes always appears.

I didn't want to depend on having to use Word.

Does anyone know how to use either LibreOffice or OpenOffice to obtain the scanned PDF result in an editable text file?

I thank you for your help.

Hello,
I use GIMP 2.8.22 on Linux Mint 19. I discovered new software for OCR from a scanned pdf file: Scan2pdf and Tesseract. I would like to use OCR but the scanned pdf file is a table with borders, and some data are missing. It seems to me that we can remove / erase automatically with appropriate tools the borders (threesolds, contrast, light...) with Gimp. Please could you help doing this?
Cheers
Seb
