The fourth public release of a tarball for the Tiny-Fu plug-in for GIMP 2.1.x is now available. This release contains a number of important bug fixes and changes. If you are using a previous version, I strongly recommend you update to this latest release.
With this release, the status of Tiny-Fu has been upgraded to Beta. The testing of Tiny is ongoing and there are still a number of issues which need to be dealt but this release is the most stable to date. I would appreciate hearing from users of this plug-in reports of both successes and especially failures. The reports will help in the testing of the plug-in. Changes since the July 22, 2004 release: o Fixed error in allocation of memory used in handling PDB_*ARRAY types. o Change to marshalling code to handle PDB calls which do not return a value o Added functions 'dir-rewind' and 'file-type' to tsx extension and improved its portability by using routines from glib. o Change to building of loadable extensions. o Added constant DIR-SEPARATOR for use in building path names and updated a couple of scripts to use it. A number of other minor bug fixes and enhancements have also been made. See the ChangeLog for further details. To demonstrate some of the new capabilities of Tiny-Fu and its extensions, I have added the first version of a script which will generate contact sheets. The script uses features from both the re and tsx extensions. The menu entry can be found under Tiny-Fu/Utils. The script could use some cleanup and there are probably some useful enhancements that can be made to it but it works. It will create a series of .jpg files (named index1.jpg, index2.jpg, etc) of 1024x768 pixels each containing up to 36 images based on the contents of a user selectable directory. The latest Tiny-Fu tarball (which includes the contact sheet script) is available from the web page at: http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/software/gimp/tiny-fu.html -- Cheers! Kevin.
