Help GURM set up

PhotoComix · **Joined:** Apr 12, 2010 **Posts:** 5870

I installed before GURM but now i feel helpless
the problem is the py file to modify, i need too see which line (better if with a number) has to be edited and which word in that line

Obviously i already read the readme but didn't help me much ( "modify the line in the third sector"i just can't decide where is the third sector....modify "xxxx" in line 12 will be more clear)

i believe once was a illustrated guide to the set up,anyway i just need to see a the line to modify with the word to change highlighted

For RobA
since the initial setup is a bit a pain, i was thinking to create sort of portable setting

Gurm will accept relative paths?(relative to where is gimp)

Edit this PC i think. Its at the very top of the Python script. =)
GURMINI = "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<your user>\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins\gurm.ini"

You bet, i finally set it up myself...now i will probably move some scripts that are not default out of my program folder...this is pretty nice. =)

Relative paths don't seem to work.

You could delete/comment out line 3 (the GURMIMI = whatever)

then change line 53 to:

Code: Select all

f = open(gimp.directory + os.sep + "plug-ins" + os.sep + "gurm.ini","r")

and line 84 to:

Code: Select all

f = open(gimp.directory + os.sep + "plug-ins" + os.sep + "gurm.ini","w")

which will work as long as it is installed into plugins in your user plugin directory (and not the gimp system directory).

Thought this will if gurm.ini is in the same folder as the gurm.py file:

Code: Select all

f = open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + os.sep + "gurm.ini","r")

and

Code: Select all

f = open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + os.sep + "gurm.ini","w")

Would those also be lines 53 and 84 Rob?

The correct "cross-platform" way to join paths together is to use os.path.join :

Code: Select all

import os
gurm_ini_path = os.path.join( gimp.directory , "plug-ins" , "gurm.ini" )
gurm_ini_file = open( gurm_ini_path , "w" )
