Quick control of UI layout? - TobyEggitt - 06-18-2020 Hi all, I use GIMP 2.8 for a variety of things, but lately I've been using it as a virtual whiteboard for remote training sessions. In that mode, I set up a white-background canvas that's the same size as my screen, and set the user interface to: full screen 1:1 100% zoom canvas centered no menubar no statusbar no scrollbar no rulers Then I just hit tab when I want to take control of things (which is pretty rare, since mostly I'm just using a pen) The problem I'd like to resolve is that every time I start GIMP, or open a new "page" (i.e. new image) it defaults to a point where I have to set each of those things all over again, and seemingly one at a time. Can I simplify this configuration? Two possible approaches came to mind: 1) perhaps there's a way to configure the defaults mode in which GIMP starts, and that addresses these, or most of these, things? 2) Could I do this from a script? I know nothing about GIMP's scripting language, but I'm a programmer, so it shouldn't be beyond me to work that out with some hints and reference material. TIA, Toby RE: Quick control of UI layout? - Ofnuts - 06-18-2020 Most of what you want to do is in the gimprc and sessionrc files in your Gimp profile (and most of these settings are in Edit>Preferences). No need for scripting, by design scripts cannot chant the UI anyway. RE: Quick control of UI layout? - TobyEggitt - 06-19-2020 Doh, don't know why I couldn't see that. But pretty much perfect, thanks! |
