see comment under the image, in the page i linked...

PS will not save as 2.6

will allow you to save as xcf and simultaneusly export with same name and in the same folder as png and/or as png

So no more excuses to not save as xcf but no more extra clicks to export for the web

The script add 2 new entry in file menu ,
1 is to Save AS + export the other is to Save + export , this last is in case you already saved as XCF and you want re-Save the XCF + export a png and/or jpg copy

Export as png and/or jpg is done automatically using the user default
(if you didn't change default using gimp default )

Thanks got it working now. This will save tons of time.
Great share and nice work RobA

Hey post us a screenshot now that you got it working.

Enjoy, has one of my current Projects open

and the script worked Great thanks!

I rather like the fact you have to save as a xcf - too many times i have saved as just a png and closed the xcf and lost everything.This sorta saves your but if you know what i mean. Maybe it should rather ask you at close if you would LIKE to save as XCF format?

Glad you got it working Willy.Please post your feedback on the correct thread i made just for that topic.
Thanks.

Also you guys knew about the autosave plugin didnt you?
I believe it was Rob A that created it?

you may do both with a click.

Hy Partha
as you know were no problem to install the 32bit version on XP

But i tried again on 7...no way the path is edited correctly still i get error message for each plugin (Basically no any dll is found)
Now i understand better Rod that was suggesting to copy all dll in the plugin folder..

No i will not do it but i really try everything i could imagine (path, PATH, Path )
the path can't be wrong because i copierd from the gimp-2.7.2 folder propriety and paste...so no possible typo.


anyway i will try again torrow (i forgot to remove first gimp 2.6 and...you never know, the folder created by my previous attempt to install 2.7.2 in my user directory

More i really don't understand how many other programs may work since was no any path entry in my enviromental variables, anyway create a new one didn't help.

Humm......i have 2 different directory for Programs "Programmi" (that correspond
to "Program Files" and the place were most programs install by default "Programmi(x86)" ...maybe the problem is "(x86)" i mean could be that the "()" are not accepted in a path...not without some trick ?

well i will try again after a good sleep

Hi PC,

It's the path issue again. For your Italian computer, you have to keep the following in mind:
Install in Programmi.
To edit the path, click on the start button and then computer and then system properties and then advanced system settings. Next, click on environmental variables and scroll down in the 2nd box of the window that pops up and look for the PATH variable. Edit your path by click Edit and edit so, your PATH=c:\Programmi\gimp-2.7.2\bin; (and then the rest of your path).

Then open the following file:
C:\Programmi\gimp-2.7.2\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters\pygimp.interp
Change the 2 lines

to


Note that C:\Programmi(x86) is for 32-bit programs only.

Thanks,
Partha

PS: You don't need to remove 2.6.

May be that was causing the problem ?
I followed exactly your instrution, now would try again but moving it in Programmi

PS
not remove gimp 2.6 just temporary move it
If not 2.7.2 will inherit tons of incompatible script and plugin

I will be here for a few more minutes. If you succeed, let me know.
I will be back on line my evening - your midnight.
Thanks,
Partha

thinking better i am not so sure that i have to correct Program Files in Programmi,
i believe they are alias (i was copying gimp in Programmi and the message says
copying ...MB in C:/Program Files...the message was in italian but the path as in english)

Anyway i am going to try in both way...i too will be back here in the evening (my midnight) to let you know

Partha i was almost giving up !!

But i found the trick: for not englisg computers
The enviromental variable must be set to C:\ Program Files\....at that level ,on that layer "Programmi" Do NOT exist, so Programmi will not work-

BUT for the pygimp.interp is the contrary:
Program Files will never work should be used the correspondent term in the local languages

I think you should add with evidence this in the instrutions because is something that can't be guessed...nobody could imagine something so dumb and foolish

Ok i will take a screenshoot..

Well, Well, Well, who would have guessed that! Can you document what you did so that we can warn other folks with non-english computers? Also, i will put it on my website now that we have solved this issues (giving you full credit of course!).

Let's have a screenshot with python and everything!

Thanks,
Partha

I had also a few additional problems as a lock preventing to edit the pygimp file connected with a deceiving error message "impossible save the file because opened in another program, close that program and try again"

Was no true file was not open in any other program.
Simply the file should be edited BEFORE move the gimp 2.7.2 folder in Program Files,
as i supposed move the folder on the desktop (and confirm, for that is required admin privileges) was sufficent to make that editable (while change propieties has no effect)...then i had to move back again in Program Files, confirm again as admin for the command be executed...

Correct. Windows will not let you edit files within the Program directories. You have to save it somewhere and then edit and then copy it back.

hem my first screenshoot is not so nice

It seems that the gimpressionist preview was really crappy only was so tiny that was impossible to notice how much was crappy:

Basically the Gimpressionist preview suppose the image be a perfect square, if is not a square..well..
you can see below what happens


still is much more usable of the original:
the original preview has same defect only at 100x100 size is harder to detect the distortion

PS i will check later but i almost sure i didn't modify preview ratio but i maintened original proportion

Congratulations! You got it working!

Thanks for trying it out. Take a look at that textureOps plugin as well in case it acts out. I have not tried to solve any issues with deprecated functions. That will come later if it is usable in its current form.

Partha

OK
if you plan to make a new build i have a couple of files to send you
As usual no relevant changes in the code but relevant changes for user's experience
