Hi Joao;

and first off, thanks a bunch for your pointer. :)

Actually yes, that did resolve my problems. Seems copying the script across
the machines somehow messed my charset up so python complained about illegal
characters while starting up. Thanks loads for your help on that. :)

Cheers,
Kristian

Well... to put it this way: As sure as can be:

- The package seems to be installed in the appropriate version matching
my Gimp:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > dpkg -l|grep gimp-python
ii  gimp-python2.4.6-1ubuntu1~hardy1
Python support and plugins for GIMP

- In Gimp, there is an "Extras" -> "Python-Fu" menu which, so far, just
contains a "console".

- Using the "Procedure browser" querying for python-fu leaves me finding
a few entries, yet none of these provided by my own scripts...

I actually would question my installation if it wasn't for these
things... Could anything still be wrong here? Invoking the python
console from within Gimp also works well, same as does "import gimpfu"
in the python console. Anything else I could be overlooking so far?
Platform is Ubuntu 8.04 by the way...

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Kristian

[Gimp-user] gimp 2.2 -> 2.4, python-fu: what's the difference?

2008-08-26 Thread Kristian Rink
Folks;

dealing with python-fu quite a while ago (early gimp 2.2, I guess), I
haven't dealt with this for quite a while, just to stumble across it once
again by now, figuring out a few things obviously changed:

- Initially, I used to write up a script, dump it to .gimp/plug-ins, start
the Gimp and find its procedures using the gimp Procedure Browser searching
for "python-fu". It's not the case anymore now, despite the file being still
in .gimp-2.4/plug-ins/ and being marked executable and the code structure
not having changed.

- Likewise, I used something like this to register the script with The Gimp:

register(
   ”python_fu_mergesofned”,
   ”merge picture with a blurred version of itself”,
   ”merge picture with a blurred version of itself”,
   ”Kristian Rink”,
   ”Kristian Rink”,

   ”2005″,
   ”/Python-Fu/z428/LayeredSoftness”,
   ”RGB*,GRAY*”,
   [],
   [],

   mergesofned)


... which obviously doesn't work again as the /Python-Fu menu is gone
and I fail to relocate the menu entry elsewhere, no matter what I enter as
menu path (/Filters/Python/... failed...). What to do here? Is there
some pointer outlining how to deal with python scripts in Gimp 2.4?

Any help / hints greatly appreciated. :)

Cheers & best regards,
Kristian

In my opinion, the only thing _really_ worth paying attention to in
relation to "the computer" / Gimp is making sure your camera is
supported by dcraw [1], thus enabling you to read full-sized RAW
pictures right off the device and do something useful to them without
having to use the proprietary tool that usually comes with the camera.
Everything else should be quite easy:

* About storage, most of the DSLRs I know about run on CF cards, and
you can get a decent USB card reader supporting CF and a bunch of other
cards rather cheap nowadays.

* Connecting directly to your machine (USB link between computer and
camera), most cameras by now fortunately seem to be capable of being
usb-storage, thus being handled more or less like an ordinary SCSI
drive. There you go. ;)

About Slackware, your mileage might vary as I don't know what drivers
and/or features come packed with the distribution - running Ubuntu on
various machines, and even my girlfriend (who does not really like
computers that much, altogether) by now manages to easily transfer
their digi-cam pictures to $HOME. 

Overally, however, choosing a DSLR you probably should focus on other
technical aspects of the camera itself, but probably that's another
story... ;)

Cheers,
Kristian

The pictures aren't really damaged - actually, that's what the
"automatic mode" is all about: The camera itself tries to figure out
what settings fit best to take an "optimum" shot, optimum in terms of
values measurable by a machine. To a machine, determining how the
pictures finally will "look like" is a rather tough (not to say
impossible) job. If you want to have pictures which look according to
your demands or needs, probably you will have to switch off automatic
mode and do the job yourself. ;)

Kristian
