You are stroking the path onto the Text layer, which will convert it from text to raster. To keep the Test layer you will need to stroke the path onto a new layer. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

With one image open, try: Filters->Python-Fu->Console Enter: my_img = gimp.image_list()[0] Then: dir(my_img) Also: dir(gimp) I usually have the console open before or during writing a plug-in so I can mess around first.

I was hoping that I'd be able to easily modify some script so that I could maybe build two working plug-ins that would speed up the editing of Gifs for me. Ofnuts ... I use your 'Mirror Layers' plug-in and find it a great help. It was this script that I was hoping to be able to modify so that I could build both a 'Delete Every 2nd Layer' and also a 'Delete All Layers from a specific one' plug-ins which would give me a nice editing suite along with the 'Mirror Layers' for editing Gifs that are processed from videos as there's usually a lot more frames downloaded than are necessary. Contact me directly (I'm on Gimforums/Gimptalk/Gimpchat) if you need help adapting my scripts (or explain me more in detail what you need). ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

In order to cut down on time, and also to gain experience I decided to modify some of the scripts that were written by experienced Python programmers to see what effects I could produce on various images. However, I have found that when I make even minor changes to a script and save the changed script to the ‘plug-ins’ folder under a new name, it will not show up in the Gimp Drop Down Menu specified in the script. I would like to know if anyone else has come across this snag and, if so, what is the cause or if there is a solution. Is there some kind of compiled code associated with a Python script when it has been saved under a ‘Name.py’ or when it has been run in Gimp that prevents it from being capable of being changed or edited. I am using Gimp 2.8, Windows XP and the Komodo editor to make the changes. Any help would be appreciated. Python is very picky about indentation (tabs are not equivalent to spaces) so editing of working code by newcomers usually elicits syntax errors, and these errors make the plugin registration fail. They can be displayed using gimp-console but there is an even faster way: in a commant prompt, outside of Gimp, execute: python the_plugin.py The worst syntax errors will be displayed then. If you go as far as getting: from gimpfu import * ImportError: No module named gimpfu then the syntax is somewhat correct and you can expect the script to run enough to register. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

You'll need to restart GIMP for it to pick up a new plug-in. Once it appears you can edit it, as long as the menu item hasn't changed. The "proc_name" must be unique - this is defined in the "register" function. If there's a syntax error, the plug-in won't load. Start GIMP in a command terminal to catch start-up errors.
