Script-fu "procedures" list

gerard82 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 07, 2011 6:56 pm **(#1)**

Hi all,
I'd like to try my hand at script writing in Gimp.
I am familiar with the console and the browser.
However I'd rather use a Scheme editor like "racket" which is based on DrScheme.
I've searched my whole install to find a list of the procedures that are shown when you open the browser.
I plan on putting this list in a text file and then copy/paste what I need in the racket editor.
They should be somewhere for the procedure browser.
Programming in an editor specially designed for scheme makes you more comfortable.
It has debug facilities for instance.
Anyone know where to look in a Linux install?
Gerard.

Thanks saulgoode.
Looks like I have to make my first script to make this work.

Just type it into the Script-Fu console Filters > Script-Fu > Console

Code: Select all

Then you only have to find where it put the file.

Hi paynekj,
Works like a charm.
The only drawback is it contains a lot more than just the procedures.
Anyway it got me something I can browse any time I want.
I used "find" to find the file.
Thanks.
Gerard.

If you just want the procedure names, execute the following expression in the console:

Code: Select all

 (let loop ((procs (cadr (gimp-procedural-db-query ".*" ".*" ".*" ".*"  ".*" ".*" ".*" )))
           (port (open-output-file "procedure-names.txt")) )
   (if (null? procs) 
     (close-output-port port) 
     (begin 
       (display (car procs) port) 
       (newline port) 
       (loop (cdr procs) port) )))

On GNU/Linux, the directory in which files are saved, unless you include the full path, will be the same as where GIMP is run from -- typically ~/ (i.e., $HOME/). This will be the same directory where images are saved when you first start GIMP, unless you navigate to another folder.

Thanks saulgoode and paynejk!
Looking at your script saulgoode I'll have a lot to learn.
In the coming 2.8 a lot of procedures have changed wording.
This list will come in handy to change existing scripts by find/replace.

Thanks much!
