Re: [Gimp-developer] Using GIMP from my own program
Ok, I made it work, I just replaced newlayer for newimage in the
gimp-edit-paste call and it worked.
But pasting into the image should work, shouldn't ?, do I have
to set up a current layer or something ?

Yes.

Yes, if you want to use plug-ins or scripts then you will want GIMP to
be running (unless you want to reimplement all of the functionality of
handling those plug-ins using libgimp).
are the core and gui strict releated, i mean are the same
thing? can the gui be down, and the core working ?
Yes, you can execute GIMP without the GUI by passing the
'--no-interface' ('-i') option on the command line. Script-fu code can
be passed to GIMP on the command line as well, if you know what that
code is in advance. If you need a more interactive approach, you could
also have GIMP running in a server mode where Script-fu commands are
passed over TCP.
In other words, is it possible in any way to use gimp for
automatic image processing/generating, because GEGL its very
promissing but gimp is fully charged with plugins and tools,
and It sould be very nice to use all that power for automatic
process.
First, I would propose that you investigate Imagemagick command line
tools ( http://www.imagemagick.org/ ) and see if they present a better
solution.
Second, you should investigate using GEGL. It is particularly targeted
for the type of activity you are pursuing and your participation could
help advance its progress.
If neither of those two options seem desirable then I would present
the following GIMP-based options:
1) Invoke GIMP from your C program, passing the commands you wish
executed as Script-fu in batch mode ('-b').
2) If you need lower level processing than provided by Script-fu,
write your code as a GIMP plug-in and invoke your plug-in from a batch
Script-fu command. Example:
gimp -i -b '(plug-in-pablos-function RUN-NONINTERACTIVE parameter1
parameter2)' -b '(quit 0)'
3) Run an interactive server, as briefly described in this ML posting:
(
http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com:2095/horde/imp/message.php?index=113
69 )
4) Write your code as a GIMP plug-in per the tutorial described here:
( http://gimp.org/docs/plug-in/sect-essentials.html )
however, you should register an 'init' procedure which invokes your
plug-in (perhaps passing it command line parameters).
This will have the effect of your plug-in automatically being executed
when GIMP is run; therefore do NOT put your autoexecuted plug-in into
the standard GIMP plug-in folders (or you will break normal usage of
GIMP). Instead, create a custom gimprc file (e.g.,
$HOME/gimprc.pablo) which adds

[Gimp-developer] script-fu problem in 2.6
Hi, I have a script-fu that worked fine in 2.4 and it's broken in 2.6. It had a conditional to apply the layer's mask if it exists. This is what it read: (cond ((gimp-layer-get-mask SharpenLayer)(gimp-layer-remove-mask SharpenLayer 0)) ) Now it is broken. How do I tell script-fu 2.6 to apply a layer mask (if it exists)? I was unable to find something like a boolean gimp-layear-has-mask, and gimp-layer-remove-mask returns an error if the mask does not exist. Thanks!!

Re: [Gimp-developer] Using GIMP from my own program
Now I have my script running, It's a simple script that produces the table-mirror effect apple does, but is it possible to check whether the interface is available or not, I mean if gimp is running with -i mode (no interface). Also, the script resizes the original image, is it possible to change the actual zoom from inside the script? how ?

No, there is no reliable way to do that AFAIK. Also, the script resizes the original image, is it possible to change the actual zoom from inside the script? how ? No. In python scripting this is possible using software like 'xdotool', but not in script-fu (because there is no command to shell out and run another command). After looking at your script, I suggest you also use '--no-data' commandline parameter to GIMP to cut down on memory usage and startup time, since you don't appear to use any brushes/gradients etc in your script.
