Re: [Gimp-developer] Plugin Request/Hunt

Umm, yes, this definitely is not a Filter type plug-in, so you won't be able to run it in GIMP through the pspi plug-in. Maybe it's an Automation plug-in? So, can this be done in the GIMP? Can it be scripted or is that too complicated a procedure? Presumably something like this might be scriptable with script-fu? Hmm. Except that maybe there is no exposed way to do readdir() and stat() type stuff from script-fu? From Gimp-Perl it certainly would be possible, but that won't help you as Gimp-Perl hasn't been ported to Windows. But: For batch image conversion and similar tasks, it is always suggested to use ImageMagick instead of GIMP. I wouldn't at all be surprised if ImageMagick had this functionality? Check www.imagemagick.org. If ImageMagick does what you need, I don't think there really is much sense in writing a script or plug-in to do it from GIMP, as this basically is a batch job -style task and not interactive image manipulation. Piece of cake for Perl scripting ! Just take Gallery maker plugin and change some lines : About Perl-Gimp for Windows, I've done a skeleton of that stuff Problem is it doesn't work with structs yet (Perl blessing doesn't work at all).

[Gimp-developer] Give me cool plugins !!!
The basic problem is that if every plug-in was included in the distribution, it would be huge. No solution has yet been found for dealing with this problem. Who cares about the size.Everybody wants a lot of plugins ! Gimp without Gallery Maker for instance is completely unuseful for a large scale of users ! Btw 1.3 is dvpt tree so what's the problem ?! Plugins won't get tested from the plug registry ONLY ! Also some changes may be required to get plug-ins to really play nice with 1.3. But I'm no hacker so I don't really understand all that stuff and am mostly just guessing. AFAIK Perl library didn't changed for ages, so plug-ins released with 1.2X should fit perfectly...Maybe Marc could help on that thread.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Current work
If help with XSLT is wanted, btw, I'd be happy to write some stylesheets (that would be part of my personal starting to work in gimp again campaign ;) IMHO XML could be appreciated in both data/log features as well.Btw, I released a small perl library : http://fabian.unixtech.be/perlgimp/ Regards, Fabian -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Dynamic plugin
Hi ! Is it possible to dynamically insert plug-ins while Gimp is running ? Any pointer to that topic would be appreciated !

[Gimp-developer] [PLUGIN] Gallery Maker full reviewed
Ok, the GalleryMaker plug-in (www.dtlord.com/gallery) has been full-reviewed. Many thanks to all who helped me. If you still find any bug, don't hesitate to contact me. btw, I saw a plug-in registry in Gimp Homepage ; is it mandatory to register my plugin in order to reach Gimp core application ?

Re: [Gimp-developer] [PLUGIN] Gallery Maker full reviewed
Regarding the question to include it with core Gimp: As already discussed here several times, the plan is to distribute less plug-ins with the Gimp core package instead of adding new ones. IMHO, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of the user needs and MEDIA growth.(Imagine there'll be _only_ DVD distro by 2002 or so). What's the problem if Gimp comes with some more useful scripts ? .btw, I don't think a lot of user will give a lot of time to download both untested unofficial plug-ins they could find in a rock-solid core appl. If Gimp is said so powerful it's just because it comes with an interesting panel of _features_ others don't give. The only thing I'm worrying about in plugin supply is the _physical_ layering in menus.Who cares it's an executable or a Perl script which does the stuffAll has to be presented in a transparent way... The best plan we have come up with so far is to include only very few basic plug-ins with the core Gimp and add a number of extra plug-in packages that bundle plug-ins for special purposes. A few extra-large plug-ins could even be distributed as stand-alone packages. However this has to be discussed further... That direction requires Gimp to enhance its policy (e.g. don't crush when a plug-in goes to hell).
