Re: [Gimp-user] Save for Web for GIF Animations?
On a somewhat related note, https://gist.github.com/unhammer/6376239 is a tiny command-line (bash 4) script that creates animated SVG's from whatever images you feed it. Might be useful (I've gotten smaller size images with better colours than GIF can give with it). -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence or laziness. pgpT0w7I5wj66.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] Error on run Deskew plugin from Python-Fu
Hi Ramon - If you add any error mesage that show up in the console when you make this call, it would help you, and others to understand what is going on. Otherwise, since the plug-in is not part of GIMP itself, if you have no further anser here, you might try to contact the plug-in author directly.

Deskew plugin from the Python-Fu console, info: http://registry.gimp.org/node/2958 I'm a very GIMP Python-Fu beginner, so i followed what user asperge did in the post shown above (tested-working Script-Fu batch version): get the image (active image), get the drawable (active layer) and finally run plugin deskew_plugin. I put deskew.exe in the GIMP plugin folder, i opened GIMP, i loaded an image, then in the Python-Fu console i wrote: image=gimp.image_list()[0] drawable=image.active_layer pdb.gimp_deskew_plugin(image, drawable, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File , line 1, in RuntimeError: calling error The working Script-Fu calling was: (gimp-deskew-plugin 0 image drawable 0 0 0 0 0) The only difference from the asperge's Script-Fu working version is that in my Phyton version there's no 0 before image. I guess it's the run mode parameter. If i try to insert it, i have an error for too much parameters: Traceback (most recent call last): File , line 1, in TypeError: wrong number of parameters I would really appreciate any help.

[Gimp-user] Layer Opacity Access Point(s) Madness
GIMP: Opacity Access Obscurity
I. Would-be Satisfied User Question
II. System Feature Access Change Request | Recommendation, for GIMP SMEs and
Online Enthusiasts' Forum:
Maddening | Urgent Help Request:
I. Apparent is no navigational work-around for a lost, deleted (or simply no
included/provided) Layer Opacity access feature ... at least in my version of
GIMP v. 2.8.6; ie, I cannot locate among the application's Primary tabs any
tab/sub-tab/path/palette link/hot button/menu/sub-menu/relevant-other-tab/data
entry field prompt | window/mini-portal, to a much desired
{ASIDE 1 of 2: albeit often one such Layer Opacity tool is readily referenced in
several of the extant online tutorials as a given, and it is, too, often
depicted, replete with a supporting screenshot, no less: so the feature must
exist perhaps commanded by hidden access privilege(s) somehow, somewhere
within GIMP ... for some users, at least ;-)}:
GIMP | GUI Other Layer Opacity Access Priority Change Recommendations:
Primary Layer tab's, anticipated, Layer Opacity tool/option
tab/sub-tab/path/palette link/hot button/menu/sub-menu/relevant-other-tab/data
entry field prompt | window/mini-portal or the like access point(s) is not
found.
Its (such a Layer Opacity tool/option's form-factor would be manifest typically
as an Opacity Glider aka a selectable |adjustable progress bar; nor, for that
matter, is there evidence of any semblance of a percentage (%) transparency
scroll bar nor an expectable like prompt data-entry field, of any description,
which conceivably would execute a layer's desired fade user-specification
(opacity) aka a amiss is any Layer Opacity adjustment tool (if such does in
fact already exist) access point(s), whatsoever.
Despite CIRCULAR narratives communicated on this, GIMP's official site, and
among the posts of those others created by or in service to | contributed to by
GIMP enthusiasts, there exists no CLEAR nor MEANINGFUL ADDRESS as to how one
MAKES APPARENT aka would ACCESS ie, access point(s) for Layer Opacity: neither
by mouse clicking nor by eg, shortcut keys entry navigation/specification, for
such a Layer Opacity tool access point(s).
II. Again, when no such tab/sub-tab/path/palette link/hot
button/menu/sub-menu/relevant-other-tab/data entry field prompt |
window/mini-portal can be readily found to exist among one -- and ideally in
more than one -- access point and by more than one navigational path -- GIMP's
version (again, v. 2.8.6) is rendered effectively useless for layered imagery
work; user satisfaction spirals downward rapidly after a work-around search --
proves counter-intuitive ie, poor anticipatory GUI provisioning, or within the
application ie, its Help and/or its User Guide index, and/or among online forums
-- exceeds 5, 10, 30, 60, 120 minutes.
FIASCO is what that scenario spells: Why could GIMP's SMEs have failed on such
an imperative SDLC GUI, indexing and easy-access multi-cross-referencing
point(s) objective for this version's release?
And what, if any, work-around, for Layer Opacity tool access point(s) within the
application, for selection of a layer(s) desired opacity display aka fade level,
would be advised, if, in fact, said does exist as a viable tool (just not easily
nor readily accessed) within GIMP 2.8.6? Why the Layer Opacity access point(s)
convolution?
Welcomed would be directions as to any navigation(al) path for said Layer
Opacity tool access point(s). NONE is (access point) | are (access points)
currently apparent under GIMP's 2.8.6 banner | top-level ribbon | panel of
Primary Tabs, nor is such evident within its sub-tabs nor User Guide's Index nor
tutorials nor blogosphere.
{ASIDE 2 of 2: in fact, Layer Opacity should appear in, so addressed, in both
the very beginning of the User Guide, and then latter in the specific Layers
section but in a more detailed explication, within the latter] nor those
tabs' secondary tabs, nor, for that matter under any tertiary-level tabs.
Primary Tabs, namely, Tools, Layer, View nor any their cross-linked sub-tabs
to other tab/sub-tab/path/palette link/hot
button/menu/sub-menu/relevant-other-tab/data entry field prompt |
window/mini-portal | option(s) | location(s) avails a sort of Layer Opacity
Adjustment tool, whatsoever.}
Lack of any easy-access point(s) aka obscure Layer Opacity (eg, a % glider)
tool(s) blemishes one's entire would-be GIMP user-experience. Address of said
shortcomings is URGENTLY needed, as recommended.
Again the question persists: Is there a reset button (virtual) and/or Command
Key Combo and/or some other keystroke Shortcut Key combo, for immediate access
point(s) for Layer Opacity specification?
If so, kindly direct me as to its access procedure: again, I am attempting to
use GIMP v.
[Gimp-user] reconciling script-fu interactive and batch arguments
I have never learned / figured out / been pointed at an example for how to properly write a script which is usable in both interactive and batch modes. Let's say I have a script-fu add-on: (define (add-watermark orgImg drw watermarkFileName relHt opacity) ... ) (script-fu-register add-watermark Add Watermark... Adds a scaled, partially transparent image to an image Gary Aitken Copyright 2013, Gary Aitken 2013-08-28 v 0.1 ; SF-MODE ModeRUN-INTERACTIVE ; First arg is run mode ; SF-STRING Main image file ; name of main image to modify SF-IMAGE Image 0 ; main image to modify SF-DRAWABLE Drawable 0 ; unused SF-STRINGAdded image file myfile.png SF-VALUE Relative (percent) height of added image 5 SF-VALUE Opacity of added image 50 ) As written above, with the SF-MODEModeRUN-INTERACTIVE SF-STRING Main image file arguments commented out, this script works in interactive mode, operating on the active drawable in the active image; the first two arguments to the function (orgImg and drw) are filled in automagically by the gimp when the script is activated. The only way I have figured out how to use this from batch mode is to add another script which contains the name of the base file to process: (define (batch-add-watermark inFileName watermarkFileName outFileName relHt opacity) (let* ( (orgImg (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE inFileName inFileName))) (drw (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer orgImg))) ) (add-watermark orgImg drw watermarkFileName relHt opacity) (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE orgImg drw outFileName outFileName) (gimp-image-delete orgImg) ) ) This works, but neither procedure is making any use of what should be the first argument (missing from add-watermark above but present in batch-add-watermark) which is the mode. My gut says the mode is there to make this all much easier, but I can't figure it out. Can someone give me a proper explanation of how to do this, or point me at something?
