[Gimp-user] Using Script-Fu, how can I get coordinates selected by a user on an image?
Hi All, I am trying to write a script-fu script to process white board photos. I want to select four coordinates to do a perspective-transformation and crop on. Is there a way to interactively let a user select points on a photo and get that information back into the script? Thanks, Rob -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D., P.E. E.F.

[Gimp-user] How do I get the current image filename and directory name in script-fu?
Hi All, I need to process multiple photos every day in the same way and am trying to minimize the effort needed by automating Gimp with Scrip-fu, which seems to be kind of limited. My plan was to save the files in specified folders and using incron (an inotify service) to open them in Gimp; do a manual perspective backward transformation by hand and start a script would, resize them and based on their filename and what directory they came from, save them to the correct folders for display on web pages. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get the filename and directory which the images came from. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks, Rob -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D., P.E. E.F.

[Gimp-user] How can you make files open in one instance of gimp?
Hi All, I'm trying to streamline a daily activity processing photos with Gimp by using incrontab (which makes it when you add files to a directory, it will automatically run a program to deal with the event). I have a python-fu script that I need to run after selecting four corners of what will be new photos. It will run itself on all images open in gimp which reduces my keystrokes or mouse clicks. The problem I'm having is that when I put four photos into the processing directory, incron opens four instances of gimp instead of opening gimp once and adding each photo to its open images. I'm using Ubuntu Linux. Are there any ideas out there on how to get around this problem cleanly? I'd really like to make the same instance of gimp open the photos, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Re: [Gimp-user] Fwd: scriipt-fu or python?
Hi John, I put python scripts in ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/. After trying script-fu and python, I recommend python. The language is more similar to what you know and better documented, and a more useful language to know anyway.

I find the .scm scripts in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts 2. I don't know either language but have programmed in COBOL and Tcl/Tk with side excursions into Perl, C and so on. Given this background which will the easiest to master for my first plug-in? The task I have in mind is gel text as described in The Artist's Guide to Gimp Effects on page 268ff. I did same for my current project but did not have much fun going through the 26 +/- steps over and over. -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D., P.E. E.F.
