I've got a Python plugin that generates a new Gimp image.

I would now like the user to confirm the filename & save location first. Is there a recommended method?

I can automatically force export, but I would prefer to trigger the File → Export As dialog on the new image - is this possible?


On v2.10.20-1 I tried using ...

but get errors like:

Does the above code look correct? The pdb documention for file-*-save commands is a little cryptic!

gimp_export_dialog_new() documented in gimplib looks promising, but I can't figure out how to call it from Python.

Cheers,

The number of parameters does not match
pdb.file_bmp_save(image, drawable, "c:\\testa.bmp", "c:\\testa.bmp", run_mode=RUN_INTERACTIVE)

Thanks Marero.

Is this documented somewhere? Or is there a rule like "interactive always must be named parameter" or ???
I would never have figured this out!

After getting it working, I found that file_bmp_save command prompts for the bmp save options (Run-Length encoded, etc.) but doesn't prompt the user for filename.

Do you know if this is possible?

Not in a simple way.
You can find a solution by looking for example at the Export Layers code:

Thanks again.
I'll use GTK I think!
