Hi again everyone! Valentine's day is coming up here in America and I just want to share this Valentine's plugin with Issabella and everyone here in GC. The Valentine's file was share by Issabella and inspire by Conbagui work: https://www.deviantart.com/conbagui/art ... -795783382
Please leave comments and suggestions!




The new version v2 have option to change the "Background pattern, the Lace color, the Heart color and the Text color.

Pocholo, you are a crack for efficiency.
I miss the brush named "solid rectangle" Could you post it for us, please?
Thank you so much.

I included in the main folder, please download the zip again. Thank you for letting me know, Issabella.

Thank you so much Pocholo. It works great and quickly.

Hi Pocholo.

A very nice result.
However, You should improve the color selectability (You specified a color instead of a variable).
The plugin will also not work in the non-English version of Gimp (by using "Selection" - which is automatically translated).
And here are two solutions - name it differently or introduce internationalization (better).

You deleted the question - but I will answer :
It's best to look at the code that works in Gimp - e.g. foggify.py.
But here you fell into an additional trap of reusing plug_in_sel2path.
Once you know how to internalize, it's easy (but I haven't changed a few of my older plugins myself yet ).
Yet a minor question: Are you intentionally using different layer modes (old and new)?

Sorry MQ, I was going to ask the question because I remember you show me in one of my plugins. If I can remember it was "pm_icon_pressed_effect". But I appreciate your fast response.

I internationalized the plugin, but in the other language like Spanish, the plugin gives an error. What am I doing wrong here?

The magic of a few signs:
_ ("Selection")

The plugin I have works well.

Thank you Mackenzie. I'm trying to learn how to make the plugin work in internationally, other languages beside English.

The chosen colors do not appear in the result.???

Sorry Level_0 I uploaded a version #2 that will let you change those options. Go to the first post and download ver2

Is version 2 included with the files I posted to gimpscripts?

I like the new version but is there a way for the font size to have the option of making the font size larger or smaller? The size 185, is nice but from what I saw after I finished the card, the font size could increase some what.

Hi Mahvin. I just uploaded the new version "create_valentine_day_card.py version 2" @ www.gimpscripts.net. Can you post it, please?

Thank you Pocholo for this 2nd version.
It's great that the layers aren't merged.It allows you to quickly make a card to wish a birthday or healing wishes, because for my part I have no one to wish a valentine 's day.
