[Gimp-user] Starting extension very slow
Hi, this is the first time I post something in this forum, so let me thank you in advance for your amazing work and website. The pb I have is that I'm noting since a lot of time a very slowness in loading the extension at the startup of GIMP. This happened with the 2.6.10 version that I uninstalled and reinstalled more than once without success. Consider that I also clean the register and remove any directory before the reinstallation. I alsop tried the 2.7.1 but my pc suffers about the same issue. I have also defragged and cleaned the disk. What can I resolve this problem? Any suggestion? Please help me. -- Kekko (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] script-fu: underscore?; script-fu-register; script-fu-menu-register
One of uses of an underscore is to pick out the shortcut character in a menu item: (script-fu-register wrdhb_create_half_blind_dovetail _Half blind dovetail... ;menu label Create Template for Half blind Dovetail ) There also appears to be (script-fu-register wrdhb_create_half_blind_dovetail _Half blind dovetail... ;menu label ... ) whch I gather has something to do with translation: I assume it would have no effect in this particular case because it's sadly unreasonable to expect translation dictionaries (po files??) to know blind or dovetail. That so? == script-fu-register wrdhb_create_half_blind_dovetail _Half blind dovetail... ;menu label ) Also, I've been using this style of getting a script registered for use in create menu: (script-fu-menu-register wrdhb_create_template_half_blind_dovetail Image/File/Create/Woodrat) (a) Can I combine the two, putting path in second parameter of script-fu-register? (b) Is there anyway of getting a letter of the submenu Woodrat to be a shortcut key? I've tried variations of underscore in the Image/File/Create/Woodrat parameter, doesn't work.

That so? If you want your scripts to be translated, then you need to put your scripts into a separate translation domain and ship the translations with them. You can of course not expect the strings from your scripts to be part of the standard script-fu translation domain.

I've tried variations of underscore in the Image/File/Create/Woodrat parameter, doesn't work. You need to explicitly create the submenu using gimp-plugin-menu-branch-register. This procedure should accept mnemonics marked with an underscore. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] How are parasites represented in Script-Fu?
Hi Currently, what type of data should be used to enter a parasite as a parameter within those Script-fu procedures that handle such an object? By chance, can you give me any examples? In order to figure it out, I have done several tests through the TinyScheme Console, from time to time using lists, vectors or strings, but none of them seems to fit.

I am pretty sure that it theoretically should work this way. After all the Script-Fu extension itself creates sub-menus this way and those sub-menus do have mnemonics. You definitely should not use the underscore in the menu-register call. However the problem is most likely that Script-Fu doesn't provide you any means to call this procedure before the menu-register call is executed. There would probably have to be a script-fu-menu-branch-register() wrapper added for this purpose. A possible solution would be to write your scripts in Python.

I was calling (gimp-plugin-menu-branch-register from top level, i.e. it was a statement in scm file along with many (defines. So how does that work? script-fu interpreter processes defines first, then any (script-fu-register*) statements, nothing else? Any other precedence rules? However the problem is most likely that Script-Fu doesn't provide you any means to call this procedure before the menu-register call is executed. There would probably have to be a script-fu-menu-branch-register() wrapper added for this purpose. I did this: (define (wrf_register_menu_branch) (gimp-plugin-menu-branch-register Image/File/Create W_oodrat) _Finger... ) (script-fu-register wrf_create_template_finger (wrf_register_menu_branch); menu label which works. (script-fu-register when it runs has to call (wrf_register_menu_branch), which does the register thing. A possible solution would be to write your scripts in Python. Oh dear. I've had enough mental exercise for this year learning script-fu. Not sure by brain could take relearning python. Also that would require that end users of script, generally assumed not to be highly computer literate, would have to install python as well as GIMP. Anyway, my kludge seems to work.
