i know that many good scripts are not included to preserve the Gimp code essential and easy to maintain..a excellent reason . But in this case the script fill a basic missed feature often required by many users The feature in Photoshop is called "apply imagine" APPARENTLY in gimp that may be accomplished by 3 steps (copy visible-paste -add a new layer ) APPARENTLY .. because those 3 steps will lead often to unwanted results,and there is not any warning about: if was a selection that will get lost in the process ... then to recover selection would be needed Undo.. that means no too experienced users risk to loop forever without solve Solution would be use 6 steps instead then 3 (save selection to a channel-select "all" -copy visible-paste-add new layer-reload previous selection from channel) and that is very unfriendly, as is unfriendly force users to deal with "floating selection " for a such basic and simple task The script solve all this with a single click I'm not the author of the script anyway is released under GPL and i'm sure the author will have not objections to its inclusion and that many users will be happy to have it available out of the box of next gimp 2.6 DOWNLOAD LINK HERE http://www.deviantart.com/download/72552828/Copy_Visible_and_Paste_Script_by_fence_post.scm ################################################### then i will like also propose a replacement for a old script "add border" that is now in Filter/decor "add border" script is quite limited while there is another similar but more flexible , offers more useful options but does not look more complex to users (and even avoid some "problems" that the default script may create) "problems" are : is easy overlook the fact that the script will increase the imagine size (..i replied to several messages of users surprised that gimp "enlarge" imagines without asking first time was very hard trace the reason of the problem...was ,as in the other cases ,that overlooked side effect of the script the root of the problem ) in the alternative script i propose that is a option, and when evaluating a option come more natural evaluate its obvious side effects, other simple but useful added options are blur the frame (user may chose blur amount ) use gradient instead then a solid color merge down -don't merge down the "frame layer" Also for this i'm not the author, but i know he will have no objections DOWNLOAD LINK HERE http://www.deviantart.com/download/71646868/Add_Border_Script_by_Insanity_Prevails.scm ############################################################### I suppose 2.6 is in features freeze, but even then i believe add/replace those few lines of code should not be a problem Also because first script will solve the problem of a basic feature missed and increase usability ,the second seems a better replacement for a old and somehow "tricky" script PhotoComix |
