  simulate debug breakpoints
Posted by: gimpygirl - 03-03-2024, 01:56 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

Hi

Since it's not possible to debug a plugin on windows (maybe it can on linux?) I want to make a way to 'pause' execution of a plugin. Why I want to do that? I want to check in gimp if some code was executed correctly.
For example: I add an alpha channel to a layer in the code, and I then want to 'pause' and check in gimp if it's added by right clicking the layer. And then continue my code.

Is there a way I can pause the code by showing a message box (after the code line I want it to stop) or something that needs to be closed before the code continues? Or another way? Keyboard input is not possible I think?
Please note I'm making a plugin WITHOUT GUI.

What can a drawable be. A layer, what else?
Any docs page where I can read?

There is this

https://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgi...mpDrawable

but it doesn't tell me all possible things that can be a drawable.
I don't understand it completely  Blush

Python Python Plug-in that Changes SubLayers Visibility and Export Images as PNG Files
Posted by: TiredGuy - 03-01-2024, 10:24 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Hello everybody!
I’m not very good not in GIMP, nor in Python, nor English, so please excuse me for my mistakes)

I have a .xcf file with a lot of layers and sublayers, for example:

(visible)        Layer_1
(visible)            Sublayer_1.1
(invisible)          Sublayer_1.2
(visible)        Layer_2
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.1
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.2
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.3
(visible)        Layer_3

I need to change the visibility of each sublayer in a selected layer in turn and export the entire image with all visible layers.

For example:

(visible)        Layer_1
(visible)            Sublayer_1.1
(invisible)          Sublayer_1.2
(visible)        Layer_2
(visible)         Sublayer_2.1
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.2
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.3
(visible)        Layer_3

Export image_2.1.png

then

(visible)        Layer_1
(visible)            Sublayer_1.1
(invisible)          Sublayer_1.2
(visible)        Layer_2
(invisible)      Sublayer_2.1
(visible)         Sublayer_2.2
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.3
(visible)        Layer_3

Export image_2.2.png

then 

(visible)        Layer_1
(visible)            Sublayer_1.1
(invisible)          Sublayer_1.2
(visible)        Layer_2
(invisible)        Sublayer_2.1
(invisible)      Sublayer_2.2
(visible)         Sublayer_2.3
(visible)        Layer_3

Export image_2.3.png


The best that I did with the help of ChatGPT is this plug-in in Python:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

from gimpfu import *

def export_sublayers(image, drawable, layer_name, path, prefix):
   # Find the target layer
   target_layer = None
   for layer in image.layers:
       if layer.name == layer_name:
           target_layer = layer
           break

   # If the target layer is found
   if target_layer:
       # Iterate through sublayers
       for sublayer in target_layer.children:
           # Make the current sublayer visible and others invisible
           for child in target_layer.children:
               pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(child, child == sublayer)

           # Export the image
           path = path + "\\" if not path.endswith("\\") else path
           filename = path + prefix + "_" + sublayer.name + ".png"
           pdb.file_png_save_defaults(image, image.active_layer, filename, filename)

       # Make all sublayers visible again
       for sublayer in target_layer.children:
           pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(sublayer, True)

register(
   "python_fu_combine_layers_and_export",
   "Combine layers and export",
   "Combine layers and export",
   "Your Name",
   "Your Name",
   "2024",
   "<Image>/File/Combine layers and export",
   "*",
   [
       (PF_STRING, "layer_name", "Layer name", ""),
       (PF_DIRNAME, "path", "Export path", "/path/to/export/"),
       (PF_STRING, "prefix", "Prefix", "")
   ],
   [],
   export_sublayers)

main()

But this plug-in exports only sublayers in a selected layer and I can't make it export the entire image with all visible layers.

Is anybody able to help me with it, please?

Or maybe are there other ways to do it?

Many thanks for any help!

  ModuleNotFoundError
Posted by: gimpygirl - 03-01-2024, 06:28 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

Hi

I have installed both GIMP 2.10.36 and GIMP 2.99.18 (to test plugins), both in another folder of course (Windows 10).

Running plugins in GIMP 2.10.36  works fine, but in GIMP 2.99.18 I have this error when running the same plugin.
I know you must put your plugin in a subfolder for GIMP 2.99.18  and I have done that.

If I use this line in a plugin


Code:
from gimpfu import *

I get following error in the terminal

Code:
line 3, in <module>
   from gimpfu import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gimpfu'

  Yahoo.co.uk Spam Filter
Posted by: programmer_ceds - 03-01-2024, 05:05 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (13)

Does anyone else have problems with Yahoo.co.uk putting emails into spam? - particularly those from this forum that now all end up in spam. It doesn't seem possible to turn off spam filtering (at the moment I get very few actual spam emails - perhaps that's tempting fate!). I have the forum email address in the list of contacts - which is what yahoo suggest - but it makes no difference.

This means that using Thunderbird on the PC or K9 on my mobile I have no notification of replies on this site.

  Searching for instruction
Posted by: Danbor - 02-29-2024, 11:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello all. Looking for some specific schooling. I don't know if I have poor search skills, or if what I seek just doesn't exist.
   Being totally new to photo editing and new to Gimp, I am looking for some training in a specific area. So far without much luck. I have taken two Udemy courses already. The first, "Gimp 2.10 Masterclass: From beginner to pro photo editing", was good to get me familiar with concepts and the UI for Gimp. The second, "Gimp photo editing crash course" was pretty much useless for me.
   The first course focused on media design and the second focused on editing photos taken with a digital camera. Both useful and popular pursuits. However, of very little help for me. I am not creative and have no interest at all in pursuing any aspect of media or graphic design. I am not a picture taker so I have no digital photos to edit.
   What I do have are several hundred photos, from the early 1930's to the late 1990's that I want to scan and restore in digital form to share with family and comrades.
   So, does anyone know where a person can find a course of training that concentrates on using Gimp to repair and restore both color and black and white photographs?

  Text Style
Posted by: petyusa - 02-29-2024, 10:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,

I've just started using GIMP a few weeks ago. I add a lot of text to images, but sometimes I have to change font size, style, etc. Is there a way, to set a preset for a givent text layer, and later just edit it, and it will update all text layers with the preset?
