Interesting! Thanks for the clear steps -- I see the same thing you do. I had wondered why the PDB call gimp-file-save required a drawable (layer) argument. It looks like, when exporting to formats like jpeg which can't handle multiple layers, gimp-file-save uses that argument to decide which layer to save. That also explains why, in GIMP 2.6 and earlier, we had to go through that extra step of flattening the image if it had multiple layers before it could be saved to jpeg. To get around that, the plug-in would probably have to have some of extra logic: if (the image has multiple layers) look up target file type to see if the format supports that if not supported: save context for undo, or make a duplicate image flatten the image save it undo the flatten or delete the duplicate image I don't know of a way using the GIMP pdb to look up whether a particular file format needs flattening. So the plug-in might have to maintain its own table of formats. I had been thinking about this plug-in as something for people who edit a png or jpg or whatever, make a simple change and re-save it. I figured that when someone starts adding extra layers, they'd actually prefer the save as xcf, export a copy to jpg model ... at least, that's my own workflow. Do you think there are a lot of people who use multiple layers yet save as jpg? Besides, how do I setup the exported jpg quality? The defualt jpeg output quality of Save/Export Clean seems very low. That's a good question, and might require more research. At first I assumed it was following my default settings for the jpeg plug-in. If you export to JPG and get the dialog, you can click on Save Settings after adjusting the Quality slider. But GIMP doesn't actually seem to save those settings -- I find that whatever I adjust them to, my jpg quality settings end up at 90, whether I actually set the default higher or lower than that. That might be a bug -- if so, we should probably move to the gimp-developer list to find out (CCing). I'll do more testing before filing one, but it seems odd that quality keeps ending up at 90 and I don't seem to be able to change it. ...Akkana ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Of course :) Please just use any batch processing software. There's plenty of such applications. Phatch comes to mind as one of them. Or you can install something like http://www.alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ for GIMP.

Sure, it's fine if you only use the plug-in for exporting to JPG, and use Save for XCF.

[Gimp-user] How make an image fade to black
Hello, I am trying to make my image fade to black on one side . I have read the blend tool tutorial in the user manual but all I can get to hap pen is a black and white gradient completely covering my image. I have tried adding a transparent layer over the image and applying the gradient to it but for some reason when one side of the image (using the linear mode) starts to get darker, the other side gets lighter, creating a severely distorted contrast with the image, plus the fade covers an entire half of the image. If someone could give me some help with this it would be greatly appreciated. Note: I am a Gimp newbie so I don't quite understand all of the techniques and/or terminology. Also, I will gladly give more info if my question doesn't quite make sense :) Thanks alot! p.s. I attached a drawing of what I am trying to accomplish (btw I used Paint so the quality or accuracy is not ideal, but you get the basic picture)attachment: fade.jpg___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
