qbist - dinasset - 06-10-2017

Hi,
I wanted to try using plug_in_qbist inside a filter (i.e. try to use it non-interactively)
I did some tests, but without success.
The statement pdb.plug_in_qbist (inImage, inLayer) returns an error (RuntimeError: calling error).
I'm using Windows 10, Gimp 2.8.22.
Did someone make use of it? (or can just test now if it works?)
Thanks a lot

From the source code:

Code:

case GIMP_RUN_INTERACTIVE:

    /* Possibly retrieve data */

    gimp_get_data (PLUG_IN_PROC, &qbist_info);

    /* Get information from the dialog */

    if (dialog_run ())

    {

        status = GIMP_PDB_SUCCESS;

        gimp_set_data (PLUG_IN_PROC, &qbist_info, sizeof (QbistInfo));

    }

    else

    status = GIMP_PDB_EXECUTION_ERROR;

    break;

case GIMP_RUN_NONINTERACTIVE:

    status = GIMP_PDB_CALLING_ERROR;

    break;

So, obviously not meant to be called from a script, and certainly not from Python, since plugins called by Python always have the GIMP_RUN_NONINTERACTIVE flag set. You may have some luck calling from Scripts-fu since IIRC in Script-fu you can set the interactive flag (but the user will get a dialog...).

Thanks Ofnuts, but I wanted to use it without user interaction.
Hence, I give up.
Pity, it could create nice "overlaying" layers better than Plasma.
In case I will decide to go on, I will prepare a set of outcomes interactively and use them as pattern, but it's less "surprising".
Thanks again.
