The few Windows specific plug-ins (winsnap, twain) suffer from a long-term lack of maintainance. Unless someone shows up who is interested and capable of working on them, it is more likely that we will have to remove these plug-ins at some point.

Re: [Gimp-user] UTF-8 encode copyright symbol for Text Circle script success

I know the problem is the copyright symbol that I put into the text box labeled Text. I know it is executing gimp-text-fontname when it is failing. So how does one encode a special character, like the copyright, for this script, written in Scheme, that requires UTF-8 encoding? There is no way of doing this in GIMP 2.2. In recent development releases, we have switched the Scheme interpreter to TinyScheme and Script-Fu now supports UTF-8 encoded text. So what you are trying to do will work in GIMP 2.4.

I use gimp-2.3 from the development build under fink or ports (i forget which one). It has all the features you want. the only problem I *hate* is that the X11 will not take control of Gimp when I click on it once...i have to click twice to activate a tool...very annoying.

[Gimp-user] Splitting images for web

[Gimp-user] writing a command line script
Hi all, I have seen several tutorials for writing script-fu scripts for the gimp, but unfortunately they are all really old and usually only cover gimp-1.0. I would really love to have a gimp script that can perform the following operations:- - open image (auto detect type) - resize - apply the Decor - Fuzzy edges script-fu with default settings - save as a jpeg using default jpeg quality I would be greatly obliged if somebody could either point me to a more up to date tutorial on writing a script (with an index of available operations), or if there are any script-fu gurus lurking around who fancy tackling this :-) Thanks, Shug ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
