Modify Crosshairs Script - akovia - 04-02-2020

Could this script be modified to work on the image and not the active layer?

I have a shortcut already for crosshairs per layer, but would like to add a shortcut modifier to work on the image and not the layer. I poked it with a stick for a while and couldn't get it to work.

Surely the point of Greggs Crosshairs is that it is immediate - no dialogue - no options.  Otherwise the grid-guides.scm does center lines based on either layer or canvas.

I will throw this in since I am no good at scripting. 
An additional script that registers alongside Greggs Crosshairs Puts center line guides based on the canvas.

Fantastic! 
No dialogs is exactly the point, and now I can finally have a shortcut for crosshairs on the canvas and not just for layers. 
Thank you rich.

Also , ofn-preset-guides lets you defines menu entries/shortcuts for about any guide combination you want. (cross-hair, margins, equal slices, ...)

I didn't know that. It would certainly be much cleaner to use one plugin, and I like the idea of custom shortcut presets.


I just downloaded it but didn't see a way to define guides on layers vs canvas. Could this be done?

It can be done now, just updated the plugin:
