[Gimp-user] script-autocrop

2009-01-19 Thread privet

I'm calling gimp on the windows-shell:
-
cd c:\temp
c:\Programme\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe --batch-interpreter 
plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b (script-autocrop '24789232_1.jpg') -b 
(gimp-quit 0)
-

output:
-
GIMP-Error: ?c:\temp\'24789232_1.jpg')'' 1/2 : No such file or directory
GIMP-Error: ?c:\temp\0)'' 1/2 : No such file or directory
batch command executed successfully
batch command executed successfully
-

OS: winxp
Gimp-Version: 2.6.4.

What is wrong with my call?
Thanks for help in advance
Nico

P.S.: a call like
c:\Programme\GIMP-2.0\binc:\Programme\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-console-2.6.exe 
--batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b (script-autocrop 
\c:/temp/24789232_1.jpg\) -b (gimp-quit 0)

doesn't work too. Error-output:

batch command experienced an execution error

[Gimp-user] Plug-in G'MIC for GIMP

2009-01-19 Thread David Tschumperle
Hi everyone,
I would like to make a short announcement here.

We have released a new plug-in for GIMP, named G'MIC which may be interesting
for some users (at least, it is what we hope).

Here is the URL : http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml

This plug-in proposes a list of various effects that can be applied on
images, including artistic filters, image denoising and enhancements, 3D
rendering effects, and so on...
 
The main property of this plug-in is that it contains an interpreter of image
processing macros, and all the available filters are written in fact in a very
short form (usually in three of four lines of code), using a simple
macro-based language (the G'MIC language). Consequently, any user can add
his own filter definitions in the plug-in (written in G'MIC in a simple text
file). The plug-in is also capable of updating itself, without reinstallation
needed (it just download a G'MIC updated macro file and put it in your home
directory).

So, this is a plug-in that is a little bit special since it is clearly
intended to be open and extensible without having deep knowledges in C,
script-fu or Python programming languages.
Here is an example of how the current filters are defined, as a G'MIC macro
file :

http://gmic.sourceforge.net/.gmic4gimp_def

Well, that's it. I hope this will interest you in some way.

Regards,

David.

[Gimp-user] [GSoC] Google Summer of Code 2009

2009-01-19 Thread Michael Schumacher
Hi,

Google has announced that they are going to do the Google Summer of Code
program in 2009.

Leslie Hawthorn - readers of the SoC mailing list will know about her -
has suggested that organizations should start to announce whether they
are going to apply this year.

One of the most important reasons for announcing early is reaching
possible candidates - students who are interested in participating, and
want to know an organization a bit better before committing themselves
to a project.


So, there is at least one thing that will be certain:

GIMP is going to apply for Google Summer of Code again!
===

Beyond this, everything is tentative:

It is fully within our responsibility to come up with a superb
application, mentors (I've already asked a few people on IRC) and
suitable projects.

It is within Google's responsibility to select the organizations with
the best applications.

No time line has been announced yet; the number of organizations and
projects to be accepted is going to be a bit smaller than last year.




As a summary, this is how GSoC went last year:

In 2008, a total of four projects have been completed. They are either
in SVN Trunk already or are currently being added into it.


Three projects for GIMP:

*Improving the text-tool in GIMP by Daniel Eddeland*

 Although the text-tool in GIMP works right now, it could be even
better and more convenient with more functionality. When editing text
you type the text in a dialog instead of on the canvas itself. I found
on-canvas text editing as one of the ideas listed on the GIMP GSoC
ideas page, and thought it would be a good idea to implement, as it
would make the text tool more ergonomic and also look a little better
(less dialogs to keep track off = cleaner interface).


*Enhance Python Scripting Interface Experience  by Lars-Peter Clausen*

 The overall goal of this project is to enhance the python scripting
interface experience for The GIMP.

 As part of this I'll creating binding for gimp objects and
widgets that haven't a binding yet but would be useful to
have in python scripts. I'll also in collaboration with the
community identify other missing or nice to have aspects in
the python scripting interface and then try add them.


*Tagging of GIMP Resources by Aurimas Juska*

 Currently resources such as brushes, gradients, etc are presented to
the user in a single list without a possibility to organize them in any
way. This makes it impossible to deal with large number of resources
efficiently, thus making the GIMP less attractive for both professional
and casual users.

 Adding tags to resources is natural and convenient way for users to
organize their collection of resources so they could quickly find the
ones they want for the specific task and create their own collections
easily.



... and one project for GEGL:

*Operations in Frequency Domain by Zhang Junbo*

 Many of the image processing operations in the spatial domain are very
difficult or even impossible, but in the frequency domain it may be
quite simple. But GEGL, the new framework of GIMP, has not support
operations in frequency domain yet. Therefore, a collection of
operations in frequency domain for GEGL is urgently needed.

 A good framework has been provided in GEGL. Operations(plug-ins) in
frequency domain could be implemented modularly.


Regards,
Michael

 How do I edit the text on the xcf file to correct, for example, a
 spelling error?
 
 You would make your corrections the same way you added text to fill out
 the form. the only difference would be you need to clear the area
 containing incorrect text before you add the corrected text.
 
 Use the rectangular select tool to select the portion of the text you
 want to remove then hit the delete key to clear it.


Pardon the delayed response.  I get the gist of what you're saying, and 
that's what I tried to do from the get-go.

What I mean is that when re-open a file from gimp I can't seem to 
select the text, which I previously wrote and inserted, to delete or 
modify it.

An important thing to note: when you've opened the PDF in GIMP, the
vector and text information is lost - you've ripped it into an
image, and at that point you will have to treat it as an image (as
opposed to a PDF).   The size and res dialog you see when opening a
PDF determines what quality the resulting image will be.  You can
almost think of it as printing to an image as opposed to printing to
a physical printer.

Hope that makes sense.

Chris
