[Gimp-user] Run GIMP in batch mode ... HOW ?

2006-01-17 Thread KC
Hi,

Can I run GIMP in batch mode ?  For example, I want
to invoke GIMP from my application (written by C) via
UNIX's pipe (or popen in C) ... How to do that ?  Any example,
tutorial will be appreciated.   Thanks


Regards
KC

[Gimp-user] Color Picker popup dialog.

2006-01-17 Thread Ben Foote
Hello all,

I'm joining/emailing to ask a very important question involving the
color picker tool. Is it necessary to have the dialog pop up every
time you choose a color with this tool? Is there a way to disable it?

I've searched bugzilla, and come up with bug #139349,
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139349

I've searched all over the web, and even through the mailing list
archive, but I can't seem to find an answer.

This one simple annoyance keeps me from using GIMP fulltime because
I'm constantly selecting colors from one image to use in another, and
every single time, the color picker popup comes up and steals focus.
Now, just the fact that it steals focus isn't the concern. The popup
itself should never be there. If the popup is going to come up every
time you use the tool, it should be part of the main GIMP dock or not
there at all, I'm voting not at all. The reason being that you can
easily get the color value of the color you just selected by click on
the color in the main GIMP dock anyways. Its probably a design
problem.

But I digresscan anyone help me disable the popup or lend some
insight? I'm all ears.

Thanks everyone,
-Ben

GIMP CVS no longer opens up a popup unless you request it. We probably
won't change this in the 2.2 series of the GIMP.

However, are you aware that (in 2.2) CTRL-clicking with a paint tool
picks a color from an image without a popup?

Bye,
Simon

Well thankyou for the prompt response Simon.

I'm glad to hear that GIMP CVS has this option changed, but also sad
to hear that it won't be making its way into 2.2.

I wasn't aware that holding CTRL while using a paint tool selected a
color. I'm not sure many people could possibly be aware of this
behavior. Seems a smidge strange, but I'll take it =P

Thanks for the help,
-Ben

Hi,

Thanks for the info.   Is it possible not to use script-fu ?  Any other
language binding is supported by GIMP ?
The language used by script-fu is ... looks difficult to me :-(

Regards
KC

 If you're interested in performing operations using the gimp from the
 command line, you can use the instructions found here:
 http://gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/

 All you need to do is to write a simple (gimp script-fu) script, and
 execute it in the gimp. You can wrap such calls in a shell script or
 something (your program) to derive more functionality.

If you haven't already found it, you may also want to look at
ImageMagick.  It provides APIs for C and C++ and other languages.
If it has the capabilities you need, you may be able to avoid the
pipe/popen thing.  You can find info here:
