The highest tribute to RobA !!!
... and another question:
svg if not - it can java ?

http://www.flickr.com/groups/gimpusers/discuss/72157612967195386/

Why would it beautiful ?

Only for three examples:

Java Image Editor (for Warp Tool):
http://www.jhlabs.com/ie/index.html

Delineate:
http://delineate.sourceforge.net/

Artifical Mosaic Creator:
http://www.gz4.it/gdiblasi/pubblicazioni/mosaic.php

Yes - It can work for java.... but to work "best" the java jar must be able to take a command line parameter of the file to open (image editor does, the mosaic one doesn't seem to).

I put the jars in a folder C:\JavaJars\

You have to create a helper batch file.... here is one I called imageeditor.bat


Then add the following line to the ShellOut python file in the command list def:


You can do the same for the mosaic, but you need to manually open the temp file then resave the temp file.... much less useful.

I tried playing with the mosaic program directly and it works for everything but saving. I had to do screen captures and piece them together in Gimp. Is there something special to do to save files?

Saves OK for me. I just clicked on the save icon (disk)

This is what I get if I try and save anything! Win 7 suuuuuucccckkkkksssss!!!!

So far it does not work for me - start batch file...(flash terminal window) ...and nothing.
Do I need to change the settings Advanced in Java Control Panel in Windows XP ???

add a pause line in the batch file to see what the message is.

Mistake appears in line:
Name 'C:\ Program' it is not recogniseable....

This same error comes up when i try to start Delineate or any other jar file.
Windows cannot find "C:\Program" i have no idea what it means.I even tried copying the folder Java out of Program Files to see if the long file name was the problem.Still didn't work.

I can't even get delineate to work in Win7 (haven't tried it in my VM XP yet). I can't get Autotrace to work in Win7 either but works fine in my VM XP. They recently updated Potrace to 64-bit which is cool, but Potrace, even the old version, works fine in Win7 so I have no idea what the issue is with Autotrace. Oh well.

Okay i added these
["Java Image Editor", "\"C:\\JavaJars\\imageeditor.bat\""],
["Java PIM", "\"C:\\JavaJars\\PIM.bat\""],
["Java delineate", "\"C:\\JavaJars\\delineate.bat\""],
["Java mosaic", "\"C:\\JavaJars\\mosaic.bat\""],
["Java photomosaic", "\"C:\\JavaJars\\photomosaic.bat\""],

to the ShellOut.py file and also created batch files for each one in the JavaJar folder.

I went to open the layer in Image Editor , and the command window opened for a millisecond and copied the layer and placed it on top of all the other layers. I tried with all the other jar executes and the same thing happened. Something to do with that C:\Program" error still i guess.

In Ubuntu, you have to assign the jar files and associate them to Java, maybe in Windows, the batch file needs to include that process somehow?

I don't know, i cant get either potrace or autotrace to work either.I can throw a img file on potrace it will create a eps file but it won't open.
I need potrace and autotrace to get Delineate to work, but i do not understand why the others will not open.
I have the java path to bin and lib in my variables "PATH" and "JAVA_HOME"
Not getting it to find Java for some reason, and i just installed the newest version thinking that was it...nada. :\

In the file. bat interferes space between Program and Files.

When you copied the javaw.exe to c: \JavaJars and changed to:

C:\JavaJars\javaw.exe -jar c:\JavaJars\ImageEditor.jar %1

it works (I checked only ImageEditor.jar).
Important (XP 32 bit): java.exe - not javaw.exe - yes!

Thanks ill give it a try MareroQ!
Nope i tried that and it opens a command window then copies the layer and pastes it on top.
This is what i did -
I opened the bat file in Notepad ++, deleted everything in it, and pasted this-
@echo off
echo *** Do Not Close this Window ***
echo Temp File: %1
C:\JavaJars\java.exe -jar c:\JavaJars\ImageEditor.jar %1

But shouldn't the first part of the command be pointing to the location of Java.exe?
My Java.exe isn't in my JavaJar folder. - Should it be -??

Changed it to this
@echo off
echo *** Do Not Close this Window ***
echo Temp File: %1
C:\jre1.5.0_05\bin\java.exe -jar c:\JavaJars\ImageEditor.jar %1

And placed the java folder in C directory
WORKS!!!!

14 pages...i would need a summary
well i try now to add some java apps...

Well so far Image Editor is the only one i can get to work
PhotoMosaic
Mosaic
Delineate
Puzzle Maker (PIM)
All these will open except Delineate due to potrace and autotrace problems.
The rest open but will not import the image from GIMP.

I copied jawaw.exe -> C:\ JawaJars and also works.
For "Warp Tools" and "Perspective Transform Tools" - it was worth !!!

And what do you think about this?
["OpenOfficeDraw", "\"C:\\Program Files\\OpenOffice.org 3\\program\\sdraw.exe\""],
Unfortunately, without a simple return.
