[Gimp-developer] Python-fu GIMP Layer "parent" property error
As stated at http://www.gimp.org/bugs/ I'm supposed to mention issues here before throwing them into the tracker so here goes. Working on a plugin that does some layer manipulation and kept encountering the error: AttributeError: 'gimp.Layer' object has no attribute 'layers' when trying to access the layer structure in a tree-like fashion to find "sibling" layers in the same grouplayer/layergroup. After being puzzled, I found the issue, which seems to essentially be that the "parent" attribute of a layer automatically "upcasts" to gimp.Layer, rather than yielding a gimp.GroupLayer, as I think should be expected. The behavior can be reproduced as follows from Python console in GIMP 2.8.8: >>> image = gimp.image_list()[0] >>> image.layers[0].layers[0].parent.layers # again with the result: AttributeError: 'gimp.Layer' object has no attribute 'layers' Assuming an image's layer-structure is similar to: [root image] +GROUPLAYER ZERO ++LAYER ZERO OF ZERO +GROUPLAYER ONE ++LAYER ZERO OF ONE ++LAYER ONE OF ONE +LAYER BACKGROUND >From the console we have a hint as to why this is. >>> image.layers[0] >>> image.layers[0].layers[0].parent # should return the same layer as above >>> but gives I haven't seen this on the bugtracker nor was I able to find discussion about it on the listserv archive. I assume it is a platform-independent bug. Can anyone confirm that? I develop on Windows XP at present. Workarounds for this bug exist I'm not in love with them (inelegant). Regardless, a sketch of what might work without using globals: def get_all_layers(parent): """-> list. recursively get all layers from either an image, or a GroupLayer Proceeds depth-first. """ container=[] for layer in parent.layers: container.append(layer) if hasattr(layer,"layers"): container.extend( get_all_layers(layer) ) return container def get_parent(child): if hasattr(child,"parent"): for layer in get_all_layers(child.image): if layer.name==child.parent.name: return layer #^ layer will have the proper data-type of gimp.GroupLayer, so return it. #^.. We do this because child.parent yields a gimp.Layer, which is undesired. else: return child.image # if we're already top-level, parent must just be the image.

[Gimp-developer] Cyclic layer-group error when moving linked layers
I'll need someone else to confirm this in the recent builds to see if it's still there, but in GIMP 2.8.8, I've found a small issue (tested on Windows XP). Using the following arrangement of layers and parent-layers (GroupLayers), users can make the processor chug, and may experience unexpected behavior. Below, the prefix (X) means unlinked, and (L) will mean linked. __[root image] (X)+BIG GROUP (L)++LITTLE GROUP (L)+++LITTLE LAYER ONE (L)+++LITTLE LAYER TWO (L)+++LITTLE LAYER THREE (X)++BIG BACKGROUND LAYER (X)+ROOT BACKGROUND LAYER Upon using the move-tool on any "grabbable" pixel of a linked layer (via move's "Pick a Layer or Guide" option), and trying to drag in some direction, the linked layers will drift apart or reset to arbitrary positions, independent of eachother. This is contrary to the way that linked layers should behave, and ostensibly uses unnecessary processing as well, as program stability and responsiveness seems to decrease as this action is performed. This is probably an artifact from before GroupLayer was an option, back when all layers in link-mode could be handled uniformly. To resolve this issue, I imagine checking for *contained-by* and *contains *relationships, and doing more work when the user sets or unsets the "link" option for layers would solve the problem. If this operation takes noticeable time, it could be done first either when a transformation involving the linked layers occurs, or when the dockable Layers-pane looses focus following a period of link-toggling by the user there. It might remain stored until a delete or link-settings change occurs again.

If you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and are getting the same behavior, it might be that you've got some odd settings making their way into your configuration initially, and you just need to overwrite them. This may fail if the menubar is hidden, but on Windows, F10 raises the File menu, after which it should be possible to navigate over with arrow keys (or mouse?) and re-open any dialogs which have been hidden (Window menu's dropdown). If it gives you a Recently Closed list, then great... if not, then Layers, Channels, Paths, Tools, and Toolbox dialogs are the most commonly used. Right-clicking will give the same options as the top menubar, for me, even with no image open. The Tab key hides all dialogs except for the main window, so try tapping that to see what happens. Most View settings, such as Hide/unhide Menubar are disabled until you are editing a piece, so you may ⌘O or ⌘N to open an existing piece or create a new one after specifying dimensions. If you're getting any response from keyboard shortcuts, the user settings for your install are probably just weird, but should save on exit if you change it to a layout you like. If no shortcuts or menus are working, you may have a bad install, program-conflicts, registry-issues, missing dependencies, etc. Let us know the symptoms. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list

(Or even really anything to do with GIMP...) Otherwise even a semi-featured port of GIMP as a mobile application for iOS wouldn't be so bad. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
[Gimp-developer] Placing grid on half-pixels using the offset
Is there a strong reason for fractional offsets (even +0.5) in the grid-configuration dialog being prevented? I'm working on a layout at present and I've noticed this limitation... Due to the snapping behavior of brushes, it's sometimes helpful to be able to draw/erase/smear/etc along the *middle* of a pixel if -- say -- I'm working with a border or divider-set which is 5 pixels wide. If I can have the pixel immediately under the cursor be centered where the middle pixel will be, I neatly get the remaining four pixels of the current tool's height/width symmetrically on either side... Otherwise I have to rely on rounding-behavior or constantly doing an additional transformation after each change in this part of the work. Other than having to change one field from "int" to "float", is there a good reason not to add this tweak for those who want it? By default, it would not be available unless someone specifically input a fraction into the grid-settings anyway. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list

[Gimp-developer] Exporting Keyboard shortcuts (key bindings/accelerators)
I run GIMP on both work and home computers, and depending on the task at hand, this sometimes leads me to come up with a better key-configuration which I'd like to keep using across all installs of GIMP which I have. Anyways, forgive me if this question has been asked before, but aside from just running GIMP from a flash drive... I was wondering about the operation of importing and exporting keyboard shortcuts for GIMP. In other open-source softwares (say Blender or Komodo) this is relatively simple either from within the program or just via copying some stuff from application folders or /opt. As far as I'm aware for gimp though, this isn't built-in, nor are there extensions for doing it, so failing that, where precisely are these records stored? (Feel free to list all of them if you'd like, but the machines in question for me are all Win7 and Win8.)

It is a simple text file that you can transport from one computer to another." As stated, I was looking to port keyboard customizations in Windows 7 and 8, which are not explicitly documented (unlike XP). But, having searched my hard drive with the hint, I found a menurc in the location C:\Program Files\GIMP 2_8\etc\gimp\2.0\menurc I imagine it's the same arrangement, barring that the paths are a bit different. I will go ahead and test that theory tomorrow. Especially if it works, the gimp.org docs should be updated to reflect that information after such time. I'm not sure if the docs are maintained community wiki-style or not, I can at least put in a bug-report about it if need be.
