Script won't run the second time (solved)

[Pocholo]

Hi you all! I wrote this python script trying to create 500 x 500 px "Icon pressed effect", and I'm stuck. The script run perfect the first time but when i try to run the second time it won't appear. I'm made it that you can choose your own media icon brush. I think it has to be with the added param for the brushes. Can any of the experience coder tell me why it's not working the second time so I can fix it?

Ps Attach is a set of icon brushes I create for the testing.

Good question for Ofnuts.

BTW, I do not understand why you pretend an input image which is not used, instead of creating one new yourself.

You're right. I was writing this script late last night and I was falling asleep from time to time. So I found out that you put your brain to rest and not over work it.

I fixed it so it create a new image. Still, I run the script once and It work perfectly but when I try it to run again won't do anything. I hope someone help me on this.

[ofnuts]

I don't see anything in your code that can help you debug the problem. A python script normally issues messages when crashing. See https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Debug ... in-Windows for some hints and techniques.

This said, having one color and one brush as parameters when you can use those set in the context (that the user can set using the GUI...) while at the same time having the script rigidly creating 500px images tells me that you have got your priorities wrong.

Thank for the respond. Well, the script is not issuing any error. It worked perfectly when you run it the first time, but when you try to run it the second time the dialog won't even appear. Now, if I go to: Filters> Reset all filters, the script work.

Hi Pocholo.

Solution 1.

Line 173

Code:

   (PF_STRING, "nombre", "Name brush", "GIMP Brush #26"), #(PF_BRUSH, "brush", "Choose icon", 0),

Solution 2.

Line 30

Code:

def pm_icon_pressed_effect(bgColor):

Line 77

Code:

   pdb.gimp_context_set_brush (name) #pdb.gimp_context_set_brush (brush)

Line 173

Code:

#(PF_BRUSH, "brush", "Choose icon", 0),

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ps.
Line 51 (typo ..rr..)

Code:

   pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground((200, 85, 255)) #pdb.gimp_context_set_forreground((200, 85, 255))

Line 2 add:

Code:

   # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

[Pocholo]

Thank you for the tips, MareroQ. Still the question remained unanswered. If I write it like you mention it work but instead you have to right the name of the brush you want to use for the script.

Code:

(PF_STRING, "brush", "Brush name", ""),

Meanwhile I want to user be able to choose the brush from the pop up brush dialog using the param below

Code:

(PF_BRUSH, "brush", "Choose brush", None),

The filter shows up and I'm able to choose the brush I want, but it will run only once. Try to run the script again and it doesn't shows up.

when I start gimp -c to get output on the console
this is what I get when it "runs" the second time:

Looks like a Gimp bug...

[rich2005]

Looks like this problem has a history.

Ofnuts posted working / non-working examples: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-GIMP- ... 71#pid7971

[Pocholo]

Thank you guy, I guess the developers never fixed it. I'm going to have to settle with:

Code:

(PF_STRING, "brush", "Brush name", ""),

[MareroQ]

Hi Pocholo.

Why didn't you try Solution 2.
This is an example of using an active brush (selectable by clicking).
This is your plugin, so I will remove the attachment when you let me know you looked at some minor changes.


Edit:As announced, the attachment has been removed.

[mackenzieh]

MareroQ,

Your addition to Pocholo's script works well. Here's my outcome from the addition that you made:

Sorry about that, Your script it's a little more complex, thank you for the inpunt. Since I'm still in the learning process I like to learn the "Scale factor". When I resize the Layer or image, I want the filters or plugin used in the code, to increase with the Layer.

At this age 60 yrs old and I started to learn coding just before when the pandemic stated.
So far all I done are simple scripts on what I have learn this past few months.

[MareroQ]

I would like to always make progress as fast as you do.

[Pocholo]

Thanks MareroQ!

[MareroQ]

I'm sorry to interfere again - but the "named brush" option can be easily exploited by copying the image/text and using the "Clipboard Mask".
Plugin Pocholo (with minor changes) with using text - example in attachment.

Edit: attachment removed due to internationalization error.

[Nidhogg]

Edit, works okay.

[MareroQ]

A certain advantage of this solution is the possibility of using UNICODE signs (with the use of BabelMap - indicated by Nidhogg - for which I would like to thank you again).

[Nidhogg]

MareroQ, the Unicode plug-in(s) you wrote are good for this
