  Does this forum use BBC code or HTML for hot links to post images
Posted by: AceMcHammer - 02-26-2019, 05:33 AM - Forum: Gimp-Forum.net - Replies (7)

... or do you just have to attach a file?

UPDATE: Disregard. I figured it out. It's BBC code ([img]photo link here[/img])

  Load multiple plugins from a parent plugin folder
Posted by: Davide_sd - 02-25-2019, 11:20 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Let say I want to have a folder containing my plugin. As I understand, GIMP only looks for plugins file named as the folder. For example, this works ok:

Code:
my-plugin-folder-name
    my-plugin-folder-name.py

If I change the plugin file name, the plugin will not be loaded. For example:

Code:
my-plugin-folder-name
    something-different.py

In this case the file something-different.py will not be loaded by GIMP, even if it's set to be executable.

Is it possible to force GIMP (from settings) to also look for other file names into plugin subfolders? Ideally, I would like to have multiple files for slightly different plugins into the folder my-plugin-folder-name. Right now with only one file to be loaded, as my plugin get bigger and bigger, it's becoming also messier to keep it "organized"...

  Can't load files
Posted by: BCarp - 02-25-2019, 02:49 AM - Forum: Windows - Replies (11)

I just downloaded GIMP 2.10.8 on Feb. 23rd.  I am on Win 7 32-bit. Home desktop PC.

When I try to open a file from either my desktop c\ drive or a thumb drive, GIMP does not recognize any file type. I have tried TIFFs, JPEGs and PNGs.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling GIMP, but this did not help.


Thanks for any advice.

  Newbie - working with svg file
Posted by: carljong - 02-24-2019, 04:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

[attachment=2656][attachment=2657]

I have a svg file of a magnifying glass.  I want to place the image of the shark inside the magnifying glass.  What's the easiest way to do it?

I've tried to break it into layers, but it looks like that is for flat pictures with a few colors.  The magnifying glass I have is more realistic and I would like to keep it that way.

Thanks for your help.

  Gimp morphing plugin + video hints
Posted by: rich2005 - 02-24-2019, 03:04 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - No Replies

An earlier post asked about using the old GAP package, problems with that and also the included morph plugin.

As a trial, the whole of the old-and-flakey GAP package is not needed, the morph plugin on its own works fine.

There are any number of howto's/tutorials on the internet for using GAP, if you are into animation, go for those.

Morphing 2 images together can be a bit of fun, so I have attached for Windows users (linux users look in your distro GAP package) 
gap_morph.exe which provides the morphing interface
export-jpg.py which just exports all the layers to separate files if you want to make a video (plugin thanks to Kevin)

Unzip and put in your Gimp user profile plugins folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

You might just want a gif animation but often a video is both better quality and a much smaller file size.

Some hints on making a video. Plenty of video editor/tools around. I suggest Avidemux http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/

...and...the inevitable video about the whole thing

  Creating a Macro For Stroke Selection [Solved!]
Posted by: CosmicOrigami - 02-23-2019, 09:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum and GIMP 2.10 in general. So I'm trying to convert images into outlines for laser cutting. And the best way I found is a combination of fuzzy tool+ stroke selection and color exchanging. However, the clicking for stroke selection is a bit too much (edit->stroke selection->stroke) since I need to repeat the process over 100+ times. I was wondering if there is a way to map (edit->stroke selection->stroke) to a key on my keyboard.

Thanks!

  JPEG data when exporting
Posted by: Alain38 - 02-23-2019, 12:40 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,
I'm using 2.10.8 on Windows 10.
Any JPEG file generated by my Canon EOS 5D Mark II or by a Canon utility from a RAW file is correctly displayed by my LG OLED television..
If I open one of these files with GIMP and export it without any modification then the TV set will be consider it as corrupted.
I submitted the problem to LG support team and they suggested that it was GIMP fault.
I suspect that some JPEG parameter is altered or missing when exporting. I tried various export settings but couln't fix the problem.
Any suggestion?

  GIMP User Guide Inaccuracy
Posted by: abcjme - 02-23-2019, 09:31 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

p. 69

It says of JPEG: "No other format comes close to achieving the same level of compression."

That must've been written before webp.

  spacing of lines in text
Posted by: Terry50 - 02-23-2019, 01:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,     Smile
After I put in text, I can push the small arrow to make the space between the lines larger; but it won't work going smaller.
If I make it larger; I can make it smaller back to the original position; but I can't go any smaller.   The text really needs to be closer.  It's way too big.
Thank you,
Terry
