Nothing that I can find, some requests for similar, nothing usable. Maybe someone has a suggestion?
In the meantime, Ofnuts plugin ofn-guides-from-layer.py which places edge guides is the closest.
This a quick hack based on that plugin, no guarantee that it is 100%
... and a plea to Ofnuts, a new / updated plugin maybe with options (horizontal / vertical / both ) included. Might occupy your coffee break or perhaps not even that long
With guides_tools I was not lucky, the List Guides script generates an error (GIMP Error
Execution error for 'List Guides':
Error: (: 1) atom-> string: needs 1 argument (s)) and don't list anything.
With gat_tooll-210, I noticed some instability. Some functions ok, others generating an error. I liked the feature of being able to save and load guides, but there is no information in the folder where these guides are saved. I tried to read the script and find where that folder would be, I tried to use windows search to find a file I saved, but without success.
The guide-grids were useful and met my needs.
But percentage-guides-on-layer is undoubtedly the most effective! Fast, uncomplicated and completely meets what I was needing.
Rich2005, thank you very much!
