Can I save guide sets.

GIMP Version: 2.6.11
Operating System: Linux
OS Version: XP - SP3
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level

So I'm creating a image at the moment that has already used a lot of guides to get the structure of the design, I want to add some more guides to help with the positioning of the design into a layered perspective, Adding more guides is going to get very confusing.

So I wondered is there a way to save a guide set then remove them and create a new set of guides.

Thanks

There is GAT tools (GIMP-Atelier)
http://registry.gimp.org/node/25332

Your info reads gimp 2.6.11 ( but also says linux / XPsp3 ?)

This is a python plugin for Gimp 2.6 & works ok in Gimp 2.8 except for saving the file sets.
so edit lines 54 & 56 from 2.6 to 2.8 as:

Code: Select all

54   GAT_CFG = os.environ['HOME'] + '/.gimp-2.8/gat_tools.cfg'
55 else :
56   GAT_CFG = os.environ['HOMEDRIVE'] + os.environ['HOMEPATH'] + '\\.gimp-2.8\\gat_tools.cfg'

works here PCLOS/Gimp 2.8.2

I agree, GAT tools (GIMP-Atelier) is the best one for sure. It should be part of Gimp, but this is good the way it is.

IMHO:

Code: Select all

GAT_CFG = gimp.directory+'/gat_tools.cfg'

will work everywhere (Linux, Win, OSX) with every Gimp version. There is also the anal-retentive version that should work in the weirdest filesystems:

Code: Select all

import os # if not already done for other uses
GAT_CFG = os.path.join(gimp.directory,'gat_tools.cfg')
