I am not entirely sure how useful this is but I thought i'd do it for fun.

Release 1. (available under <Image>/Image/Guides/Select Guides Surrounding Active Path Points)


Instructions.
Have an image filled with guides


Now draw a path (could be just points without out lines by holding down the Shift key while clicking away in middle of rectangles that you want to select)


Now run script.


And you'll see the rectangles surrounding your active path's points will be selected (shown in lighter rectangles).



When you draw the path you don't have to use Shift clicks to draw just points, it can be a regular path (but only the points will be used). For example you can draw a path that looks like this.

And after you run script, You'll get a selection that looks like this


Let me know what y'all think

I made it so that it also works on a Selection bounding box.
For example if you have a selection like below


After running script, you'll get something like this.

You're amazing my friend.
I have no idea what I would do with this but I admire your persistence.

That's why i said I am not entirely how useful it is

Odin, does Tran's brain ever sleep?

Thanks Tin.

Very practical to create geometric patterns.
The first idea for the use of:

Probably not, the brain never sleeps it just gets disconnected.
The older I get, the more often that happens to me even when I'm awake.

It's too late to try and put the genie back in the bottle, so we'll just take the random scripts and figure out how to make them useful. Since you made a point of using points, my brain kicked into high gear asking, why just guides? What if you could also use points selected on various layers, areas within x amount of pixels to create selections of various kinds (squares, rectangles, ellipses, or circles) and add the ability to number those selections? I tend to create images for tutorials that add steps (in numerical value) on screenshots. Step 1, click here, Step 2 do this and that and the other, Step 3.... this sort of script would be ideal for that.

EDIT: There is already a script that does this and it is found here:

http://registry.gimp.org/node/25086?des ... node/25086

I was in the process of posting a script for this when i saw your EDIT.
I tried the script you mentioned and well mine is a bit different giving a little more control since it creates separate layers for fill and numbers so you can apply effects if you really wanted to .... hopefully you try mine out too and make your own decision on which one you like more
it's here --> http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14607

It makes the selection circles and then stops dead in its tracks. Never mind, it was user error. I had messed up the path by altering it with another script before running your script. Leaving the path alone allowed the plugin to work properly. Just one small issue: the numbers don't center in the selections. Having them as layers allows me to make adjustments, although I would prefer not having to do that.

Numbers don't center in selections?
I put them dead center in circles.
From my trials they're all centered, can you show me an example image of how it's not centered?

EDIT: I think I know what you mean by they're not centered.
It's the text layer (the number) when it's created it's got spaces around the number and the surrounding space isn't even all the time so that's why.
I should be able to make it dead center with a few steps of manipulation.
Will Release #2 soon.

Hi Mahvin.

Wow that one looks super advanced.

You enjoy clicking paths way too much

not all that exciting
