Following up on this, actually I moved them to File > Create > dd instead of into Filters. My filters dialog is very long.

Yeah... I've just always thought that scripts / plugins should be grouped according to what they do.



I don't know if it can be removed... it may be something that's hard-coded to the python interface.

I agree with you. Your scripts work together though and a few weeks down the line ... may forget that.

That was from RobA replying to someone who asked how to make a preview in Python.
And I think the script is available for download,
I hope this helps

And sorry if that isn't right, and thanks for sharing this great script

Thanks & you're welcome.

Yeah, I already took a look at the layerfx code (which gave me a headache...) The main thing I gathered from it and this is that to implement a preview (and lots of other cool interface stuff) I'd need to use the GTK libraries, it can't be done with the standard Python-fu interface... I don't really know all that much about coding, it's just a sort of side hobby to me, and I've only just started learning how to do things with Python... so tackling this GTK thing seems a little bit overwhelming right now.

Perhaps I'll manage it some day...

I would speak to Ofnuts or Rob A, they seem to be very smart in these sort of things, and I am sure they could help you out

And I am sure you will mange dd

I wanted to show off some more results with dd's filter.
Here is an image of a wood pattern - looks like new wood, and not to much character.


Now add some effects from the filter with a color selection and -



Instant old piece of driftwood.

The values will differ of course for selection size , but here is a image from the filter dialog settings.


dd i have one request.
Is there a way to add a size down button to the filter window so i can make it smaller (the dialog)?
I wish all the dialogs had that option actually.Too many times i go to use a nice filter and it opens so big i can not see the okay button. :\

Handy tip! Thanks, Rod.

Please, please, please don't do that. Scripts and plugins should register themselves in the appropriate location...

In this case, I think that the original location of Filter->Decor is where it should be located. Just my own opinion. I can't stand having dozens of extra menus created.. one of the reasons I never use the FX Foundary scripts... I never know where to look for stuff.

Wanted to add also the python high end sharpen script url is changed it is now at
http://www.gimphelp.org/scripts/script_ ... sharpen.py

It will open as a txt file save it like this with the quotes.
"high-end-sharpen.py"

Yeah, that is why I provided a link to the whole topic, so that he could find that and the old one if needed

Oh, my, I remember how much I hated the FX-Foundry menu on the Image menu. I do agree with you Rod, it's better left as is.

Hey i didn't say it

yeah she called me Rod a little while ago too

Also, how do you have them in seperate windows? I would Love to have all my Python Scripts seperated out.

Good ole O she is always thinking of me.

Well, with the standard python-fu interface, I don't think so. But it might be possible with the GTK...



Thanks, I'll keep that in mind...

Oh, my. I've been on vacation from spammers. GnuTux has put in a new captcha and I've relaxed and I'm totally enjoying myself. Can you blame me for getting a little out to lunch?

Sorry RobA for my lapse in your name.

That new captcha is kicking spammers butt.
Very clever it is.

Someone should make some sort of Website Captcha type thing, that would just be dots that you have to click, I would Love it

Like the Callibration function on a DS, how there are the Cross Hairs in the Corners, but they would be in Random Spots that are random Colors.

I just fail at Capchas :/

Talking about captchas... I really hate how the plugin registry asks for a new captcha every damn time you make a post or edit... soooo annoying.
