Looking for a Script

Gms9810 · **Posted:** Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:34 am **(#1)**

I used to have a script that batch converted a bunch of images to brushes. Like a cabbage head I lost it. Does anybody have or know where I can procure that script again?

Is this what your are looking for?
Batch brush converter

That's the one. When I copied it to my scripts folder it said it was already there so I must have thought I lost it. Thanks. Now I have to figure out where it's hiding.

Everything seems to work in spite of it so I guess I'll just ignore it.

you need to open the script using a program such as notepad and save it as .scm into your script foldedr then when you start up gimp it should find it, but be warned this script does not work with the latest versions of gimp

Bonjour,

Here is a modified version it works with Gimp 2.8. It should work in GIMP 2.6.
There is an error message at the end of the script but this script works.

samj,
I have found the script okay but I can't get it to save to brushes because I can't get to my brushes from this dialogue. I am using Fedora and I have to go to home, then to view, show all files, then gimp-2.8, then brushes. With this dialogue, I can't get there.

@molly

This script works on Windows but not on Fedora

I think the author should make corrections and/or improvements in its script.
I made a quick correction to accommodate Gms9810.

Here's one of my old scripts exemplified in our documentation that can make backups from directories.
It is simple to understand and modify.
It saves all the formats used in Gimp.
