Re: [Gimp-developer] User Friendly Plug-In Browser (Sven Neumann): Python plugin defaults accessible

2010-04-16 Thread Avgoustinos Kadis
Hi Lloyd, Sorry for answering so late. I'm studying for exams these days.. Thanks for your idea! Sounds like a good way to get some default values. Doesn't sound very painful either .. For proof of concept, a more painless way is to hard-code the default parameters for 10-20 plugins. That's how I w

Thanks Sven, very important to know that! How feasible are these options? 1. Randomly pick a value for each parameter. From what you said (that it depends a lot on the parameters) this wont give us the best results but at least we will have a preview. 2. Modify PDB so it can store default paramet

If using the current image will be better (more desired by the user) then we could focus on this one and find ways (multiple threads, resize before applying the plugin etc) to make it fast. It sounds more challenging this way :) Great! Thanks, Avgoustinos On Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 1:55 PM, Martin No

I understand (about the good architecture). It should be designed carefully to support all the sources (I was aware only of the plug-ins). Does this object model you use for C allows inheritance? About the preview calculations. I was thinking that it might be faster to pre-calculate all the plug-i

Hello, I'm an applicant for GSoC 2010. I got inspired by the "menu search" idea and proposed the "user friendly plug-in browser" that would allow users to find the plug-in they want by seeing the effect on an example image. The whole thing is to browse through images rather than through text. The
