Making no Progress with progress bar

Graechan · **Posted:** Fri Jun 21, 2013 2:41 am **(#1)**

GIMP Version: 2.8.4
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

I would like to provide progress status for the duration of the Gmic plugin but I am failing to get it to work the call I think would be best is

(gimp-progress-init message gdisplay) but I'm unsure as there are lots of different calls in the PDB

I would also like some help as to where to place it

Code: Select all

(gimp-progress-init message gdisplay)
(plug-in-gmic run-mode image drawable input command)

The way I've used it:

gimp-progress-init to create the progress bar and set the initial text
gimp-progress-set-text to update the text displayed on the progress bar
gimp-progress-update to update the percentage complete

So as you can't update anything while G'MIC is running, what you're suggesting should be the right thing to do.

Also, in G'MIC you can set the progress bar during the execution of a G'MIC script

, with command '-progress value' where 'value' is a number in [0,100] (or -1 to disable the progress bar).

Still very confused Ronounours does this mean Gmic will handle the progress bar bar initialization for it's filters in future

Now that I have a call for the gmic plugin as a separate procedure with

(air-bubbles-pack-sprites image bubble-layer mask-layer min-size spacing width height)

where would I place the progress bar commands and what commands do I use?

Need help desperately to understand this
