[Gimp-user] Error console - font unreadably small
Using Gimp 2.6.1 on Windows XP SP3 Error messages displayed in Error console use a very tiny font size. The only way I've found to read them is copy to clipboard and paste to something else. I couldn't find anywhere in Preferences to set either the font or the size of the type. Is this a bug or a feature or did I miss a preference? -- Regards ...

No. Picture 2 is derived from the page number where it is, for example the first image on page 3248 of picture 100.gif is called 32481.gif, picture2 32482.gif, etc... page number is contained by the original picture, and has nothing to do with it's name. Original picture is called in the example 100.gif, and the derived pictures are called 32481.gif, 32482.gif and 32491.gif To find the proper name is job for a human, the machine can not effectively help there. > #2.

They are pictures in written text, and only a human can decide, which parts are images and which parts are text. The selected part then usually gets modified in size and also sometimes rotated. All jobs, only a human can do properly. I checked with the most up-to-date ocr programs, they do a lousy job when they try to find out, which parts are pictures and which are text.

That's all. #1. Is it possible to have the outputted filename derived from the original image's filename? For example, if you are selecting from an image named "somegirl.gif" then could the script assume that the output filename should be named "somegirl-cutout.gif"? #2. Is it necessary to create a new image from the copied region? And even if it is (e.g., you want to edit the pasted image), would it be acceptable if the script performed the creation of this image. I.e., you make your selection and then run the script -- the new image is opened (if necessary) and then saved as a GIF. Item #1 would eliminate the need for a dialog box prompting for a filename (and would provide an easier way to handle directory paths). Item #2 would be necessary to accomplish Item #1 -- once you have created a new image, information about the original image is no longer accessible. If you choose to have the filename of the selected region automatically derived from the original filename (i.e., you make a selection, then run the script to save it to a GIF) then would you want further selections from the same image to overwrite the previous one; or would you rather that the filename be modified to indicate a "version" (e.g., "somegirl-cutout_1.gif")?

Hi, often information about one topic is scattered around the manual, which probably can ahrdly be avoided. As an example, selections are covered in articles about their tool preference dialogs, the Select menu, the quickmask, a general introduction (gimp-painting.html), gimp-using-selections.html (the most asked for on irc) and several others (convert to/from selections). The articles are well linked between each other, but that's a tedious way of finding the relevant piece of information.

I am interested to learn why you need to search the user manual at all. We might want to add such a feature, but that requires us to understand under what circumstances a user would want to perform a search in the user manual and what he/she would be searching for.

The new help-browser in the 2.6 version of GIMP does provide "find in this page" functionality though. Just press Ctrl-F to activate it. Unfortunately the installer that Jernej provides for the Windows platform does not include the new help-browser plug-in. It seems to be problematic to build the GTK+ version of webkit on Windows. Hopefully someone can manage to do this build at some point so that users on the Windows platform can also benefit from the much improved help browser in GIMP 2.6.

[Gimp-user] Text-in-stitches on GIMP
The biggest problem is to manage the brush orientation. Having a brush with the same image oriented differently in each layer don't really help. Of course you can link the orientation with the a tablet pressure, but it's not practical and don't help for path stroking. For now, as far as I know, the only way would br to create 8 brush 0? 45? 90? 135? 180? 225? 270? 305? and to use them with a pen tool alternatively around the letters :( Inkscape is more suitable for this job ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

How do I do this in the GIMP? You'll want to create a GIMP Brush Pipe for this. In the brush dialog, open the Pencil Sketch brush as an image (right click on the brush icon in the dialog to get a menu for that). Delete all but two layers. Make one layer a left to right slant and the other a right to left slant (this effectively removes the brush shape from the original brush). Save the image as a brush pipe to your .gimp/brushes directory using ".gih" as the suffix for the filename. A dialog will open that allows you to configure the brush characteristics. Set the spacing to 50 percent (or whatever you feel appropriate), the number of cells to 2 and the first entry for Ranks to 2 and Angular. Put "Stitch" in the Description so you can find this brush later. Save the changes and then reload your brushes dialog. Look for the new "Stich" entry. Stroke your path using this brush. You'll have to play with the size of the brush. You may need to make multiple versions at different sizes to get the right effect. I'm not positive this will be exactly what you want, but it's the correct basic process for creating a brush that you need to perform this effect. Good luck. -- Michael J.

That script is over 10 years old and written for use with a very early version of GIMP (GIMP is only about 11 years old). It will not work with more recent versions of GIMP because of changes over the past decade. As an example, your script uses the PDB function 'gimp-drawable-color' which is no longer available. > A reference script copied from /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts > works perfectly; however not a single scm script does > file operations.

The tutorial you cite is more recent -- it is only about seven years old -- but is still too outdated to be used without compensating for changes that have taken place in the meantime. GIMP now employs a different implementation of the Scheme language interpreter, and the Scheme language itself has evolved over time. File operations in scripts are typically limited to handling "image" files, but they are present and they do work. In fact, there haven't been many dramatic changes in this area over the years (the problems with your script have nothing to do with its file operations). If you describe what it is you wish to accomplish, I should be glad to assist in writing a script. For such scripts to be effective, by their very nature they must be customized to match the workflow of the tasks being handled -- once you start making the script flexible enough to handle multiple situations, you end up with a workflow just as involved as performing the steps manually (this is why you don't see many "file operation" scripts being widely distributed). ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Does this mean that you are using GIMP 2.2? This is long outdated. In the meantime the Script-Fu interpreter has been completely replaced. > I suspect, that file operations simply do not > work with scm. That what the tutorial implicates. The tutorial is probably about as outdated as your copy of GIMP. File operations do work fine. At least with a recent copy of GIMP. Please do not waste our time and update at least to GIMP 2.4. We can't give any support for older versions. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Text-in-stitches on GIMP
I'm a fairly new GIMP user. Be gentle. I'd like to duplicate the effect described in this Photoshop tutorial: http://pshero.com/archives/text-in-stitches The critical part of this is selecting a path from text and using a custom brush to draw along this path. Once I've got this working, I can fiddle around with the background and brush type to make it look pretty. I've got as far as adding some text and turning this into a path using Layer->Text to path. I can then do "stroke path" with a brush of my choice. However, I can't work out how to adjust some of the more complex options, such as the direction of brushing and the distance between brush strokes, as described in steps 8 and 9 of the tutorial. How do I do this in the GIMP? If I'm successful, I guess I'll write this up in a blog post.

Re: [Gimp-user] export and save as gif dialogs
Hello, I use SF-WHATEVER, I just had a typo in the email. The complete script is my previous email and also attached to this email. I test by copying the script into /home/en/.gimp-2.2/scripts, and then do a refresh from gimp/Xtns menu. A reference script copied from /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts works perfectly; however not a single scm script does file operations. I suspect, that file operations simply do not work with scm.

Could someone help? Indeed, this is due to a change in script-fu: let-variables have to have an initial value nowadays. Apparently, this has been fixed in the meantime in the script pointed to by the URL, as it works now, and reads: (let* ((image 0) (buffer "")) > > Also ... in the script comments, its not clear which directory/folder > the files will be created? Looks like it leaves it to GIMP to decide. From experience, this is the directory GIMP was started from, probably your $HOME directory when started from a window manager. -- http://niels.kicks-ass.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I have chosen to initialize them to -1 in this example as that is the value that is used for an invalid image or buffer ID in GIMP.
