  How do I get GIMP to open the default canvas when I click File>new?
Posted by: rickytickytock - 01-08-2022, 03:04 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

You know when you open Gimp and it has a default canvas? This:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401729229039075328/929205142694281286/unknown.png
How do you get it to open that default canvas when you click File>new? Because it asks me to define all these properties when I click new, like this:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401729229039075328/929205604726235176/unknown.png
But I just want that canvas that you get by default when you open the program. How do I do that? Thanks.

Photo Reading DJVU
Posted by: Jan-80 - 01-07-2022, 03:37 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (2)

Hello,

I found there is a module for GIMP to read .djvu files on https://github.com/cosmiclattes/gimpDjvu

That is from 8 years ago, so I assume it must  be incorporated into the main program by now. Actually, when installing GIMP on my Windows machine, it declares itself as the default reader for djvu-files. And yet, it doesn't work. I assume because the proper open library, referenced in the above github page, is not installed for GIMP. How do I do that?

I'm running  GIMP 2.10.8 on Windows 10 Pro.

The error message is:



GIMP Message

Opening 'H:\ (filename) .djvu' failed: Unknown file type


Or is it something else ?

Regards,

  Python plugin development
Posted by: Milarck - 01-06-2022, 07:26 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

Hello here! 

I've been trying to make a Python plugin for Gimp for two days now. For now, my goal is quite simple, I want to be able to create / duplicate layers, etc. 

So I made my python file, put it in the right folder, registered it, etc. 

Here is the code I got for now: 

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

from gimpfu import *


def test_function(image, drawable):
   pdb.gimp_drawable_set_name(drawable, "My new layer name")
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 1")
   
   width = drawable.width
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 2")
   
   height = drawable.height
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 3")
   
   img = gimp.image(width, height, RGB)
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 4")
   
   layer_one = gimp.layer(img, "My layer", width, height, RGB_IMAGE, 100, NORMAL_MODE)
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 5")
   
   img.add_layer(layer_one, 0)
   pdb.gimp_message("Test 6")
   

register(
   "python-fu-test-function",
   "Test script",
   "This is a test script",
   "Me", "Me", "2022",
   "Test",
   "",
   [
       (PF_IMAGE, "image", "takes current image", None),
       (PF_DRAWABLE, "drawable", "Input layer", None)
   ],
   [],
   test_function, menu="<Image>/File")  # second item is menu location

main()

As a result, I got displayed in the warning console: 

"Test 1"
"Test 2"
"Test 3"

And that's it. It seems that the line "img = gimp.image(width, height, RGB)" stops the script (without error message), while nothing seems particularly off with it. 
Actually, this line of code was copy pasted from this documentation (sample, section 2.1).  

As I'm working on this, I have the feeling to be dealing with a development that seems quite random. Not having the possibility to work in a proper development environment is really tiring, each time I'm coming up with something I have to save the python script, go in gimp, launch the script, see if it works, retry...

Do someone have advices on this matter?

Thank you very much.

  Keyboard shortcut for brush rotation
Posted by: kmkenpo - 01-06-2022, 03:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am sorry if this is something that I should be able to easily find on the net... but each and every tutorial / help page, gives basically the same answer... but it simply does not work.

How do I bind AND use then activate a keyboard (or mouse wheel) shortcut that allows me to rotate a custom brush so that I do not have to constantly go back and forth with a slider to make micro-adjustments?

Thank you for any assistance.

  GIMP writes a lot of data to SSD (C:) while opening (fresh install)
Posted by: Hidetoshi6721 - 01-06-2022, 08:38 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (4)

Hello there,
I installed GIMP to my HDD (D:) drive but it writes a lot of data to the SSD (C:) drive instead.
Please tell me if there's any method of making it write to HDD instead of the SSD, to increase the SSD's longevity.

  Exported images look different in different browsers and screens etc.
Posted by: onojk123 - 01-05-2022, 12:11 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

What is best practice for exporting images so that they don't look so different from the GIMP view I see before exporting the image?  Usually stick to PNGs and JPGs for exporting.  I have to export equal to or below 80MB and I think less than 200 Megapixels.

  Selection, crop not working anymore
Posted by: alain.roger - 01-04-2022, 04:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi,

I have a weird behavior on my Linux installation.
I have  Gimp 2.10.30 and I'm not able to select a part of my image or to crop it.
Icons are available and I can click on them and set a fixed ratio, but when I try to set the fixed ratio or free ration clicking on the image, nothing happen.
I have the same behavior if I use my graphic tablet.


To be clear: mode is in "replace the current selection" not in "subtract"

What's going on ?

thx
