G'day Gimp-64er's,

Anyway I installed GIMP 2.7.3 64bit and while I was at it grabbed the Python 2.7.1 64bit and couldn't find a All in One 64bit archive but found this 'wgtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101229_win64.7z' and well it's the first time for that I was going to pull out of the archive what was needed and check newer versions as they were matching the version numbers I have just downloaded a lot of single versions like cairo 64bit etc.. than I thought bugger I'll throw them all in. Seems to be working no problems have Python-fu "unless this came with the install," :rofl

it really did work, Confirmation on this is needed

Haven't worked with it yet still configuring other programs.

Hu? why all that work with Python ?
It is already included and so Gimp 2.7.3 (from Partha) suppport Python scripts on the fly ,all what needed is already included

I could not find no mention of python scripts for a hint to Python supported/included and coming from 2.1.6.
I'm not fresh installing for roll backs so throw it in which gives me two false positives, a clear determination to cover the fresh install guide lines of No retreat move forth at a steady rate there's nothing to recover or clean up Build as you go and don't look back.

what about java any java in there.

Python scripts are always supported out of the box on Linux (basically because almost always in linux python is pre installed an), not on Windows.
It is not related to the version number but to the packadging,
to assure that gimp python script works or python (and related libraries , should be included, or the installer would have to take care to check for P and if needed prompt to download and install everything...that would be much more complex.

So till now this was solved by the official windows version by removing python support (Still available but only after manual fiddling )

Instead for this build python and whatelse is included

About Java there is no support for java as now but there is a plugin called "gimp#" or" gimp sharp" that support also java
but i didn't try with gimp 2.7.3, not sure if require updates

Hilal shine - you need to add the variable to the gimp-2.7.3/bin folder.

PC - You can actually use Robs Shellout script to call java apps. You have to have a batch file created for each one though.Search java in gimp here you should find the post with the bat info.I think its this.

Code: Select all

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

- for each different jar file.

I write them in like this and have a special folder for them - javajars
["Java mosaic", "\"C:\\JavaJars\\mosaic.bat\""],

Rod,

Not anymore. The installer automates the whole process so, no need to do that.

Hi,

Did you download the installer and run it? Please give us a little more detail. Please see the installation guide where you downloaded it from.

Basically, download the gimp-2.7.3-64bit.exe (http://www.partha.com/downloads/gimp-2.7.3-64bit.exe) and double-click on the downloaded file. If you downloaded the portable file, then after you install, you double-click on the gimprun.exe file.

Please let us know if this helps.

Thanks,
Partha

Hiya Partha.
I just assumed because his install couldn't find the bin folder with the DLL files the path was incorrect.Glad to hear the install does it all now.

Any luck compiling the file-svg and the libsvg DLL into the latest version?

In my first post in this thread I said "pressure" didn't work.
Well actually it does!
I am a complete noob regarding tablets (and a not very experienced Gimper).
I bought the Gimp Bible about a year ago.It was however written for Gimp-2.8.
So after a while I laid it aside since lots of things were quite different from 2.6.
To learn more about tablets I started reading it again and came across "Brush Dynamics".
Couldn't find anything similar in 2.6.
So I went back to 2.7 and sure enough it was there.
What I then noticed was that as soon as I brought the pen near the tablet it would jump to brush dynamics off!
You have to set it with the stylus or eraser!
Gerard.

When you run the installer, did you change the default location? I need more information.

Hi Rod,

Well, SVG is now fine. It is compiling gegl and gimp that has become difficult. I was able to compile the gitbuild from 2 weeks ago with SVG but not the build (gimp and gegl) from this week. My post on the gimp-developer list received silence when I mentioned the errors I got on Windows. So, I will have to figure it out.

Sorry for the delay. I can make the 2 week old build available if there is interest. But it won't be till after the memorial day weekend.

Thanks,
Partha

Has GEGL's version changed again? What about BABL has that compiled okay?
And if you would like to send me a link ill try the 2 week old version with SVG.

Thanks Partha.

Gerard - thanks for the tidbit on tablet pressure settings! :bigthup

No change in the version but change in the code is making is not compile. BABL is fine for now.

I don't have a version handy since I decided that I was going to package SVG with the latest source. I merely compiled 2 weeks ago and tested that SVG support was available.

You're welcome Rod.
I wrote before that I made another install on a separate partition which is exactly the same as my regular one.
The tablet works far better in 2.6.11 than in 2.7.3.
I like to try new things in Linux but for now I'll leave 2.7 alone and wait for 2.8.

Hey Rod or Lyle,

Just wanted to know, do you have any file / website (handy) that will allow me to test SVG in Gimp?

Thanks in advance,
Partha

You can get all the SVG files you can take at Openclipart.

Thanks Lyle. I have another question. After you open and SVG file (scale it etc.) and make changes, are you able to save it back as an SVG (I would think not)?

Thanks,
Partha

No Partha; you can only import SVG. Your output won't be vector anymore (not sure if you can save bitmap SVG though; never tried). GIMP can only export SVG paths which is not the same as SVG from a full vector editor like Inkscape.

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16170

There is a filter that will export to Synfig not sure if that will save as SVG though.I do not think it does.
