GIMP Version: 2.6.11 Operating System: Windows OS Version: Win7 GIMP Experience: Beginner Level When my old PC died and my new PC had win7 installed I discovered my callout plug-in no longer functioned, I don't speak python or windows (nobody understands wndows) so I was hoping sombody could spot the obvious. this is my shortcut entry "C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\xnview.exe",and my plug-in file follows (presently only setup for Xnview). Code: Select all def listcommands(option=None): These are the menu entry used and the errors returned. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hoping someone can assist in this.

Shellout requires python. Windows GIMP doesn't have python by default unfortunately. Click link below to learn how to install it for GIMP. As a side note, I did not have to uninstall GIMP and re-install it. All I had to do is re-install GIMP. The procedure only works with 32-bit GIMP (which runs perfectly fine win Win7 64-bit). ![]() http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/inst ... -6-windows |

I have python installed with many python plug-ins working,this is what is confusing as my shellout file looks correct, its the errors that I don't fully understand and was hoping someone could explain them. |

It lloks like the module/plugin to handle files in PNG format isn't available. Can you load & save PNG files by hand? |

Post subject: | Re: Cannot use Shellout |
Yes it looks like it errors saving the PNG temp file.Try changing it to JPG instead. change this ["XNView", "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\XnView\\xnview.exe\"", "png"], To this ["XNView", "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\XnView\\xnview.exe\"", "jpg"], If that works then each entry you create will have to be either bmp, or jpg. |

I think what MareroQ is referring to is this post: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=970&start=70%20#p11206 Where the same problem was found to be a conflict with APNG |

Well it got shellout(Xnview)to work but it disabled my apng plug-in that I use a lot, changing to jpg or bmp didn't work(strange?), have I got the correct apng plug-in. Does anyone have apng and png files installed and working properly all I can remember is that you had to delete the file png. |

Don't you still have access to APNG by selecting APNG from the file types list when saving? Both PNG and APNG should be on the list, assuming the APNG plug-in is installed properly. Adding file-png back into the system plug-in folder shouldn't disable apng support. It just changes the default back to png. |

If is Gimp 2.7.4 compiled by Partha the png plugin was replaced by the apng one but the apng plugin is too buggy and in many cases the safest solution is replace file_ png.exe with that from Rod you may also try to rename the apng plugin (i just dumped away because i stumbled in all its bugs ![]() anyway replace the the png plugin file is the quickest...and is also needed to export png without problem |

Post subject: | Re: Cannot use Shellout |
PS Also the other script that need to call png plugin will fail if you don't replace it |

Be sure file-apng and the apng ui file are both in Gimps program directory plugin folder. |

With png and apng files installed ![]() and I select png+apng image it saves the image as the 4 layers ![]() And it saves my 4 layers OK ![]() But when I try to reload in gimp it only loads the bottem layer(it loses the other 3 layers) ![]() It seems the problem is in opening apng images in gimp with the png file installed

Remember you have to open as png-apng file. to view the layers in the apng animation. Try this - Create your apng animation.(save it as a png-apng) Open Gimp and go to open file Browse to your new apng animation you just created Now in the drop down for extensions choose open as png-apng. See if that works. ![]() |
