8bf sequentially ?

MareroQ · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:22 am **(#11)**

Many thanks for the tips so far.

Since 8bf i pspi and recorded in the Procedure-Browser and Plugn-Browser
My problem is how to invoke them (how to write a command - for example a) using python plugin or script-fu

ps.for Impressionist - problem solved:

Example in file pspirc: [c:\Documents and Settings\MarQ\.gimp-2.7\pspirc]

<ps-plug-in path="C:\Documents and Settings\MarQ\.gimp-2.7\Plugin_ps_active\50s Here.8bf" timestamp="1298918928">
<entrypoint menu-path="<Image>/Filters/Andrews Filters A/50s Here..." image-types="RGB* " entrypoint="ENTRYPOINT1"/>

<ps-plug-in path="C:\Documents and Settings\MarQ\.gimp-2.7\Plugin_ps_active\A Little Grain.8bf" timestamp="1298918928">
<entrypoint menu-path="<Image>/Filters/Andrews Filters A/A little Grain..." image-types="RGB* " entrypoint="ENTRYPOINT1"/>

<ps-plug-in path="C:\Documents and Settings\MarQ\.gimp-2.7\Plugin_ps_active\halftone.8bf" timestamp="1283117858">
<entrypoint menu-path="<Image>/Filters/Richard Rosenman/Halftone..." image-types="RGB* " entrypoint="ENTRYPOINT00"/>

Edit - rename - add any active filter 8bf:
[Photoshop Plug-in Seqwenser.py]

gimp.pdb.photoshop_plug_in_50s_here_entrypoint1( image, drawable,
run_mode=RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS)
gimp.pdb.photoshop_plug_in_a_little_grain_entrypoint1( image, drawable, run_mode=RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS)
gimp.pdb.photoshop_plug_in_ halftone _entrypoint00( image, drawable, run_mode=RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS)

Who will add a drop-down list of plug-ins for each step ?

GIMP-plugin-seqwencer ???
There are other options (except 8bf)
Each command display in the window Make shortcut -You can also easily add Plug-in Seqwenser.py
Make shortcut

…” Even more in the future: let you script a sequence of calls to other plugins and even GIMP menu items. Known as a visual script editor or a macro editor. Would not require knowledge of a programming language…”
Will it happen?
Who can help:
Had to build a gui (with a list of commands to choose from), a dialog box - which in the step and the ability to write (read) to the terminal settings file (robANT ?!!)
it would be something similar to the ATN (in Photoshop).

ps. choice of filters does not make sense - just to show the possibilities

i fear will not work because most (if not all) 8bf can't remember the last setting used,and i doubt they could be called in a not iterative mode

But maybe the Gimp Userfilter (aka FF converter) that may run all the F.F filters could be hacked to do it,
(because can also convert the FF script in another language, maybe that language is more flexible and that may allow sequential call...a big maybe but i believe is the only hope

the fact that even Xnview that has a quite advanced batch mode cannot call in batch mode or sequentially 8bf filters lead me to think that will be impossible also for gimp.

It is long time that i did not use the Userfilter , and anyway is not compatible with the most recent plugin but only with the old filter factory ,...on the other hand several of the best modern PS plugin are available also as standalone program so i suppose they may be called (not the 8bf but the standalone version )by variant of the RobA Xnview shell script

It's an interesting idea, but i'm afraid PC is probably correct.

Photoshop retains the last settings a a PS filter while in the same session, but no other program that I know of that uses PS filters do.

Try just Gimp scripts for now.
Can you add python filters to the list?

I see you have scm's added.

It's easy to use-Make shortcut - really works

yes that is really cool
but ...works also for sequential call of 8bf ?

MareroQ · **Posted:** Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:06 am **(#23)**

You can add python filters and *.exe to the list

Forge.exe

Code: Select all

gimp.pdb.plug_in_forge( image, drawable, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0, run_mode=RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS)

mm extern LabCurves.py

Code: Select all

gimp.pdb.python_fu_mm_extern_LabCurves( image, drawable, "foo", run_mode=RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS)

Impressionist

Code: Select all

gimp.pdb.photoshop_plug_in_impressionist_entrypoint1( image, drawable, run_mode=RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS)

or

Code: Select all

gimp.pdb.photoshop_plug_in_impressionist_entrypoint1( image, drawable, run_mode=RUN_INTERACTIVE)

Some plug-ins do not work in a call mode
run_mode = RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS

but you can mode
run_mode = RUN_INTERACTIVE

Such are, for example G'MIC
gimp.pdb.plug_in_gmic( image, drawable, 0, "foo", run_mode=RUN_INTERACTIVE)

Okay so what do you have to do to set it up?
Do you have to set all those 8bf filters in a certain folder and point gimp to them with PSPI and then restart gimp to re-write the pspirc?
Then you add the lists of your filters to your python script?

MareroQ · **Posted:** Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:46 am **(#25)**

For 8bf are two ways:
1. looking for (the data needed plug-ins) file or pspirc
2. create a shortcut by Make shortcut - which can be written to the file
for example:
plugin-shortcut-to-photoshop-plug-in-impressionist-entrypoint1.py
and there is a desired line - 13

Thanks MareroQ.
So this will allow you to add just about anything in pspirc or any other script or plug-in any sequence?
You just add the parameters to the python file correct?

MareroQ · **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 4:15 pm **(#27)**

Today, Lloyd Konneker - Bootchk announced on http://registry.gimp.org/node/25305
a new version of the Make shortcut that is Gimpscripter
https://github.com/bootchk/gimpscripter
promises to be a great work - the time for testing ...

Awesome!

I have actually been playing with this it's pretty cool.

You create a python script using input for different ingredients.
Fooling around i actually created one that takes a selection and copies and pastes it as a floating layer.I am still trying to figure out how to create a new layer from the floating selection so it could be a useful script.
Then the user could just make any selection on the image - Go to shortcuts/copy-selection
The selection would be copied, pasted as a new layer in place with (no floating selection).
Guess it is already a part of Gimp but i am just fooling around seeing what i can do.That seemed to be the easiest script to start with. :lol

The only real useful part of the script would be the floating layer - you wouldn't have to anchor it yourself. (lazy i know)

- But like i said i am just fooling around with it.

Anyways its pretty fun to mess with.I tried to create one with Lyles Soft Focus settings for GMIC but there was an error calling the plug-in for the script.Still have to figure that one out.Something to do with the GMIC command i am sure.

On a side note this would make a great macro recorder if it could take the last so many number of history points and group them in its interface.Then you could just call the last so many history points - name the plug in - re-start Gimp and the plug-in is there ready to use.

Something like call history?
