[Gimp-user] Writing gimp perl batch script
Hi,
I've been working on getting a perl batch script written for gimp that will
take the contents of a directory, pull out all of the pictures of a certain
type and run some type of filter on them. So far everything works ok, until I
try to loop the execution. here is the part that I'm having problems with:
for my $filename (@filelist) {
$img = gimp_image_load($filename,$filename);
$drw = gimp_image_active_drawable($img);
plug_in_edge(1,$drw,8.7,2);
gimp_image_save(1,$drw,$filename,$filename);
$img->delete;
}
This is the basic operations that I'm doing. For some reason on the second
run of the loop, I start getting warnings like:
Subroutine Gimp::gimp_file_load redefined at /(path to Gimp.pm/Gimp.pm on line
541
The exectution will finish and the everything will come out as expected,
however these warnings keep showing up. I've tried the trace mechanism and it
crashes after the gimp_image_load statement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michael

Oh - and if you'd like to get your idea about cropping limited by aspect ratio considered at some future date for inclusion, you should open a report for it in bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org - click on "Create a bugzilla account", follow the instructions, and then click on "Enter a new bug"). Otherwise, it is likely to get forgotten again... sorry :) Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary, Lyon, France E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

There is no further dialog - there is a tool options dialog however which opens when you double click on the tool in the toolbox. The rect select tool is the dotted rectangle - the tool which is selected by default at startup. Double click on it, and a dialog opens up (in 1.2) In 1.3, this dialog is active by default, and docked in the main toolbox window.

[Gimp-user] creating a knib that's broken at an angle.

[Gimp-user] Grokking
Gimp gurus, I am curious as to how close the old "Grokking the GIMP" tutorial/manual is in working with the new 1.3.x version. I realize many things have changed since that was written, but really shouldn't be too much of a problem to adjust some of the instructions? At least I don't think it would. That's why I am asking you gurus that have done the manual before. Also, will there be a new one for the 2.0 version soon to be released or will there be or is there now a manual or tutorial for the new one yet? I haven't done much with the Gimp earlier, but become more interested as the 2.0 nears completetion. The 1.3.17 looks very nice and is performing very well, so I think it may be time to get into a tutorial of some sort to learn more.

I get the error when, with an image opened in gimp, I click tools, select, rectselect. Nothing happens in the image window but the error appears in my terminal window at that moment. I can continue in gimp doing other operations with the image. Only when I quit gimp do I actually see the error message(s). To my knowledge I was not attempting to save the image as a text file or do any kind of save. My image file is a JPEG and for my purposes of cropping, resizing etc I dont make use of layers. I am happy to use my gimp as it is unless other signs of flakiness turn up. However I would love to know if my suggestion re cropping has a chance of being realized in a later release.

[Gimp-user] Trouble with configure option --prefix
I've compiled gimp-1.2.5 with success using the configure option --prefix=$HOME/foo However, when I try to start I face a rather bizarre message For a proper GIMP installation, a subdiretcory named $HOME/~/foo needs to be created. This appeared wrong to me, but out of curiosity I did the favor and created a directory called ~ (tilde) in $HOME. GIMP started, but as I expected complained about a missing directory $HOME/$HOME/foo The other way around, creating a $HOME/$HOME/foo in the first place, doesn't work either. I'm afraid I'm stuck in a vicious circle. Does anybody know, where my initial mistake may be.

Re: [Gimp-user] cropping to pre-set aspect ratio
I attempted David Neary's workaround which was to first use the rectselect tool specifying the required aspect ratio. Unfortunately I cannot do this and I think my gimp is a bit broken.

I must oneday download & recompile the latest reliable gimp. What I am quite bucked about is that the developers seem to think that my suggestion, (i.e. being able to set aspect in the cropping tool) is worth implementing. Go to it guys!
