Re: thumbnail generation for nautilus via gimp

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

i started writing the internal Gimp script for looping over the images. My code is so far the simple:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from gimpfu import *
import os
import os.path

def python_thumbnailer(this_image, this_path):
a = this_path

register(
"python-fu-thumbnailer",
"Generating thumbnails",
"Generating thumbnails for Nautilus via Gimp",
"Eckhard M. Jaeger",
"Eckhard M. Jaeger",
"2007",
"<Toolbox>/Xtns/Nautilus Thumbnailer...",
"",
[
(PF_STRING, "this_path", "Directory Path", ""),
],
[],
python_thumbnailer)

main()

this script is copied into ~/.gimp-2.4/plug-ins but didn't appear anywhere :(
I can't find the bug, please can somebody help me. Thanx.

I recommend you to use gimp-console instead of gimp; The GUI is
irrelevant to what you're doing.

Briefly, you need to:
1. Load the image
2. Generate the thumbnail
3. Delete the image from memory (using gimp-image-delete)

for each image in the list of images.

For a start, invoking gimp-console once for each image is fine.
Later I suggest you run gimp-console only once, for greatly increased
speed (make gimp's scripting loop over the files, rather than your
scripting.). You could do this very easily if you can rely on
gimp-python being installed on the users' machines, and use that
instead of Script-Fu. (you can also write a loop in Script-fu, but I
have very little idea HOW.)
