Image Watermark Plug-in - My 1st GIMP 3.0 plug-in

trandoductin · **Posted:** Wed Nov 06, 2024 10:04 pm **(#1)**

This one client had a watermark automation requirement but it was unique to them
so I am not sharing that but what can be shared is what's common among photo editors, gimp-users who like to apply watermarks like all the time.

Video from : www.youtube.com

So here it is watermark2.py

I'll try to make another version using API documented here: https://developer.gimp.org/api/ instead of pdb lookup and call
should be faster.

Great to see you writing plug-ins for Gimp users again Tran. But perhaps you should consider downloading the Gimp-3.0.0 RC 1 version and author them through that API, PDB, and Python-3.11.
Just a thought for future users of 3.0.0.

Thanks Tran, I have saved it and it works great. :hi5

I am trying to delay the process until there are more GIMP 3.0 users. As it is not the official stable download right now.

Great to see you writing plug-ins for Gimp users again Tran. But perhaps you should consider downloading the Gimp-3.0.0 RC 1 version and author them through that API, PDB, and Python-3.11.
Just a thought for future users of 3.0.0.

I am trying to delay the process until there are more GIMP 3.0 users. As it is not the official stable download right now.

I think i am going to begin re-writing all of mine for version 3. :bigthup

I tried making my watermark one to start and it's hard.
All the c libraries not sure what syntax to use
I am digging in GimpChoice and don't even know how to declare it.
I think I need a whole lot of examples, the foggify.py doesn't seem to have enough syntax for me to work from even for something as simple as watermark. The procedure browser is there but I am not sure how to even call it.
If found some code that called the file selector so I got a file selector going but don't know how to set a default value.

I think it'll be a long while before I can put "I will write you a GIMP 2.10 or GIMP 3.0 Plugin" for my fiverr gig :rofl

I am in the process of installing Eclipse IDE so I can include GIMP source and have friendly autocomplete and all that crazy stuff to program plug-ins now.... and say bye bye to simple text editing

Tim, have you not found the documentation, yet?

This is where you find it:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/artifacts

search for dev-docs ( it's created often, so the direct link changes)
click on the browse icon on the right hand side

search for gimp-api-docs-3.0.0-RC1+git.tar.xz
download the zip, unpack it

You'll find the documentation in

gimp-api-docs-3.0.0-RC1+git/g-ir-docs/html/python/Gimp-3.0

You also find something here: https://developer.gimp.org/api/
( not sure if it's up to date and how often it's renewed)

And if you need python stub files for your editor: Kamil Burda on his github has them:
https://github.com/kamilburda/gimp-miss ... or-pycharm

Thanks so much

Updated 1st post to have a version for GIMP 3.0.
I noticed you have to have subfolder name same name as .py file (at least it didn't load for me when i named them differently).
I think I just need to see examples of other parameters which probably exist in GIMP source just got to hunt for them.
I am 50% confident in GIMP 3.0 plug-in now only because I found the example to call pdb procedures.
I made a helper function called pdbcall which handles the setting properties and calling of procedure just I don't have to have a huge block of code each time I want to call pdb procedures.

Are there plans to phase out pdb? I hope not.

Also I was trying to find a way to default my watermark filename but it's not really required because once you run it once, it remembers the settings even when you restart GIMP so defaults are pointless now since they only used when plug-in is first installed/ran.
That's a very nice feature I think.

I am wondering if there should be a forum dedicated to GIMP 3.0 Plug-ins

trandoductin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 07, 2024 7:24 pm **(#13)**

I want to convert the other plug-in (GIMP-cards) to GIMP 3.0 as well but having a hard time to get the add_path_argument to show up

trandoductin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 07, 2024 9:07 pm **(#14)**

Thanks to quietreader for link to API documentation, I have added a version that uses APIs instead of pdbcalls (in first post).

BTW
for gradients, fonts, patterns ....
you find examples here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/b ... -dialog.py

And don't forget the procedure browser. Valuable hints there, too

They use path stuff in histogram-export.py
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/b ... -export.py
line 109

maybe that helps.

I think that's related to file path in code and not related to GUI that allows users to select a path.

Hi,
I like this plug-in, and I find it a learning tool.

I noticed some problems in the console, and I was wondering what your opinion is. Is this a GIMP issue or is it the plug-in?

I get that. I think with the internet, we need to think of greater things, like idea's for a plug-in, and then document the little things like programmer's do.

I noticed in your watermark API plug-in window that the label on the watermark file widget is missing, and here in this dialog there's an error reporting duplicate labels? I haven't analyzed your code, so I don't know. I did copy, paste, and organize a bunch of it. The reason I ask is that I have a GIMP 3 plug-in that I want to work on, and your code could be very helpful.
