Post subject: | [solved] xcf files |
GIMP Version: 2.10.13 Operating System: Windows GIMP Experience: New User ![]() My xcf files contain an average of twenty layers. To see more clearly, in the name of a layer I indicate the filter used but at a moment this is not possible because the name would be too long. ![]() If I name them by letters and numbers, then I will have to write everything in a text file? what method do you use? ![]() |

I name each layer with the modification applied (the gimp function or the filter but not its parameters....). I know, I can't reproduce it exactly after a while... |

In G'mic settings, I have naturally the output message "Verbose (layer name)" selected. If I come up with something likable with any of the built-in effects that allow you to save presets, I give it a short name and name the layer accordingly. Old scripts in my inventory have been edited to custom settings and I rarely change them because they were modified for a specific task. Anything more complicated, and other than just applying filters I suggest using notepad, .rtf .pdf or whatever you like to use. Or you could use one extra layer for the steps? |

The problem with "Verbose (layer name)" as layer_0 in first post ....because the name would be too long. I think I would prefer keeping the gmic log and copying from that but it is a matter of choice. There is another record, a bit like dinasset's filter name with no parameters. In the gimp profile there is a file 'action-history'. Snag? Gimp writes that when it is closed not while editing is in progress.

![]() Nidhogg, I use notepad ++ (I think it was rich2005 that advised me several months ago to edit a line in a script or plugin so that it appears in the Filters Menu) rich2005, To find the GMic filters used, I opened the gmic log but I do not see a date indication next to each line. Can I delete it before starting a project? And the same for the Gimp filters with the "action-history" file: I see 102 lines ; how to know the lines referring to a specific xfc when there are several open in Gimp.But maybe I can delete this file "action-history" before opening an xcf (it is recreated?)? |

Quote: I opened the gmic log but I do not see a date indication next to each line. Can I delete it before starting a project? Yes, you can delete it. Another way might be rename the gmic log file with the name of the image Quote: And the same for the Gimp filters with the "action-history" file:...snip...But maybe I can delete this file "action-history" before opening an xcf (it is recreated?)? You can delete it. Remember the file is not saved until you exit Gimp. To be honest not a lot of help except for the order of the filters. |

I deleted the "action-history" file and it was recreated, OK.And the same for the gmic_qt_log file. So now I will keep some files with notepad ++ ![]() ![]() |
