This is the new star interface.

a typical multiple star using the new interface, means one gets a progressive number if stars on demand..

I'm not issue I understand

The appimage works like a charm, thank you!
Discovering it now, and SVG's open very well in GIMP, it's a nice application, again thank you.



Yes I'm interested, let's try it (I'm discovering Knotter), gimpchat accept .zip, maybe you can put all together at once here?

@mbasagli following your tutorial there > https://knotter.mattbas.org/Tutorial/Photo, I should say I got a lot of fun, your software is so intuitive (I love the mouse wheel to separate things BTW) that learning it is fun!

Starting your tuto with your photo example


Then adjusting... was literally fun

Yes my adjustment are not perfect but it was just for a quick show/howTo to see how it work, over all it took me five minutes to do it while reading the tuto.
A well written tuto with plenty of good screenshots and very user friendly software

I did change for "External program" GIMP to SVG instead of PNG, like that GIMP can receive all the paths, and it works like a charm receiving the png/image/layer and the paths (I'm on Linux)

Patrice, i dont know how to give you the files.. things are all so complicated now..

i can put them on a CD, and post them.. i.e the whole program with the new interfaces, all working and post that to an address you give me by PM... ?

i dont know how to upload the whole new program maybe mbasagli can help i need instructions..


i have the files in my website, but i dont know how to give them to you.

incony.org / web / plugins / circle / circle.js
incony.org / web / plugins / circle / dialog_insert_circle.ui
incony.org / web / plugins / circle / plugin_circle.json

if you know how to use visual studio code, i can post the three circle scripts... here.. for example here is the first circle java script if you look in the plugins folder.. this would go in a folder called circle the first of three files needed.. you sense how complicated things are if you dont know how to create a file.

First of all, thanks a lot.

I did tried the 3 links:
http://incony.org/web/plugins/circle/circle.js
incony.org/web/plugins/circle/dialog_insert_circle.ui
incony.org/web/plugins/circle/plugin_circle.json
I got a 404 (does not exist)

In the end have no worries, I am still trying/learning Knotter, thus I can wait to include some plug-in
Again thanks a lot Knott+Win10 and have a fantastic day

some info that will help you as your knots get more complicated..

first thing, you need to know where 0.0 is.. on the bottom left of the screen those numbers show how far away you are from it... when you find it, its a grey circle, (i want a better way of going to 0.0 and highlighting it ) put a node at its centre, and a ring of nodes around it. save that as a knot file, use that knot file every time you start a new knot - i.e open that knot file, put what you want on it,,, it means you will always know the centre of your design is 0.0 and your design - which may eventually be thousands of pixels wide.. will be centred on point 0.0.

if you think you can use visual studio code, i will be happy to share any file as as a text... it can be pasted into visual studio code and saved with the right name, in the right place. or as said with a postal addy i can give you the whole thing on CD... ive no other way of sharing this mo BUT. i am looking at the possibilities of creating a FB knotter 9.6 group. if i can test it to see if i can include files to download/ access then its a viable source for any without knowledge to share what is open source.. and thus expand contribution. and method of creation. i am always looking for folks who are users, who would be willing to venture that path. knotter is still very much alive... it just needs more skilled folks to take it on. one thing i want to make is a windows ui that lists all the variables one can change and what they do.. ok, one must understand java and ui, to do that, i know, but i think such knowledge expands what knotter is possible of... so i think this year i will look at what i know and share it.. make a new plugin.. a ui available on demand... again my sharing will be limited , unless for example a knotter cloud is created. we need an easy way of sharing and downloading/ uploading info. members only FB, might give that.

No visual studio, I use Atom, no worries that will do



No need, anyway I don't have CD for something like a decade now...



Zip all and use this > https://easyupload.io/ it's free, then just give us the url here
why not using github? that would be a lot easier to share code.

The best place to share Knotter plugins is the plugin server: https://gitlab.com/mattbas/Knotter-Plugin-Server/
Just make a merge request and it should show up for download within knotter.

i downloaded this yesterday for windows. I love it. it is a very beautiful program. No need to install. just run. Thanks.

I'm running a Chromebook with a Linux VM. I downloaded the deb package but it has unmet dependencies and if I try downloading using terminal, it cannot find Knotter.

Witch Linux VM, there are more than hundred distros out there
For Linux, Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 (me) and MX Linux 21 (my kids) I downloaded the appimage (no install needed), it works like a charm
(I did not try the .deb, though, but if you have missing dependencies, why don't you install them?)

According to one site "By default, the Linux container on ChromeOS runs the stable and secure distro known as Debian. More specifically, Debian 11 or “Bullseye.” While Debian offers many of the tools that Linux users are looking for, other distros offer up more flexibility and access to a wider range of packages without the need to add extra repositories." Can I install the dependencies using the usual sudo apt-get install command in terminal? (sorry, I'm a beginner in Linux)

i can login to GitLab... but to upload the three files needed to create the circle or star plugins i have to share, i need specific instructions.. since when i login i get this https://gitlab.com/dashboard/projects which doesnt tell me how to upload a file ie, the json, etc..

i apologise for being thick... i want to be able to link my pc to the site, click on the file to upload and then let that transfer take place... just like i do, when i log in to my website and use say, FileZilla something i use to upload a whole folder in one go.. what i get, on gitlab doesnt tell me what to do.

so.. i need steps..

1. do this
2. do this

etc..

i cant upload them here because for example the extension js is not allowed...

i give up sharing, without specific instructions.

You can try this: https://gitlab.com/-/ide/project/mattba ... /master/-/

it shows an editor where you can add and edit files. then it should prompt you to create a merge request

Yes I suppose.
which dependencies are you missing? Why don't you try the appimage instead?

ok.. if that is step 1. i get this.. ( see image )

at this point what is step 2?

The appimage type is not supported on Chromebook. These are the dependencies.

perhaps you need to press fork?
