Gimp IDE

Simple GIMP IDE.

In fact, Gimp IDE is a simple text editor with syntax highlighting, with the ability to run the script.
Simple dialog allow you to create plug-in based on you script.

Perhaps fills a gap between conventional designer who can copy-paste from the web page, but can not edit and save script as plug-in.

In feature i plan create mini plug-in repository in internet with simple lifecycle as:

1) Select plug-in from menu (content menu is list of plug-ins on server).
2) Plug-in automaticaly download from server and run

Also this mini IDE is suitable for games with GIMP and study its internal structure.

Installing instructions for windows:

1) Install Gimp 2.6 (if not installed) into c:\bin\gimp\
2) Install Python 2.5 (if not installed (check in Gimp)) into c:\bin\gimp\python
3) Install PyGTK
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/1.4/pycairo-1.4.12...
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygobject/2.14/pygobject-2...
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.12/pygtk-2.12.1-3....
4) Install GTK Binaries or add c:\bin\gimp\bin\ into PATH environment variable (check you path! path must be, a ptah to Gimp bin directory)
5) unpack dll.zip into c:\bin\gimp\bin\ (check you path).
this archive contents: libglade-2.0-0.dll libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll
6) unpack python.zip into c:\bin\gimp\python\lib\site-packages\ (check you path)
this archive contents: gimpcolor.pyd _gimpenums.pyd gimpfu.pyc gimpplugin.pyc
gimpshelf.py gimpthumb.pyd _gimpui.pyd gtksourceview2.la gimpenums.py
gimpenums.pyo gimpfu.pyo gimpplugin.pyo gimpshelf.pyc gimpui.py gimpui.pyo
gtksourceview2.pyd gimpenums.pyc gimpfu.py gimpplugin.py gimp.pyd gimpshelf.pyo
gimpui.pyc gtksourceview2.dll.a pygimp-logo.png

If you Gimp distribution setup with enabled python supprt, you only need: gtksourceview2.dll.a
gtksourceview2.pyd and gtksourceview2.la files

7) Unpack gimpide in some place and check set-up:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\bin\GIMP\bin
C:\bin\GIMP\Python\python.exe gimpplug.py
(check you path)
if you see errors - let me know

8) If you Gimp distribution setup with enabled python supprt, skip this item.
Unpack pygimp.interp.zip into c:\bin\GIMP\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters
this file contain path to python interpreter. Edit him in notepad if you need (check paths).

9) If you Gimp distribution setup with enabled python supprt, skip this item.
Unpack plug-ins.zip into c:\bin\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\

10) Unpack gimpide.zip into c:\bin\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\

THE END :-)

Example script (simple paset it into GIMP IDE editor and run):

# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
#Create border with bg and fg color
#based on http://blogpost.am9.ru/?cat=14

import gimp
from gimpfu import pdb
from gimpfu import *

#BORDER WIDTH
width = 20
#Edit this ^^^^^^^

images = gimp.image_list()
image = images[0]
image.undo_group_start()

old_background_color = pdb.gimp_context_get_background()
old_foreground_color = pdb.gimp_context_get_foreground()

image_width = pdb.gimp_image_width(image)
image_height = pdb.gimp_image_height(image)
# get a copy of background
background_copy = pdb.gimp_image_get_active_layer (image)
border = pdb.gimp_layer_copy(background_copy,0)
pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(image, border, -1)
#select and make stroke
pdb.gimp_rect_select(image, width, width, image_width - 2*width , image_height - 2*width , CHANNEL_OP_REPLACE, 0, 0.0)

drawable = pdb.gimp_image_active_drawable (image)
# TODO somehow set the width for the stroke
pdb.gimp_edit_stroke(drawable)
# fill by foreground color
pdb.gimp_selection_invert(image)

pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(old_background_color)

drawable = pdb.gimp_image_active_drawable (image)
pdb.gimp_bucket_fill(drawable,FG_BUCKET_FILL,NORMAL_MODE,100,0,0,width/2,width/2)
pdb.gimp_layer_set_opacity(border,50)
pdb.gimp_selection_none (image)
# megre visible layers
pdb.gimp_image_merge_visible_layers(image,EXPAND_AS_NECESSARY)

pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(old_foreground_color)
pdb.gimp_context_set_background(old_background_color)

image.undo_group_end()
gimp.displays_flush()

Known issues:
* Under Windows syntax highlight not work. (May be mime detection broken)
* The strange игп is lost when the contents of global dict:

if you write

import aaa
def a(test):
print aaa.somefunction(test)
a("foo")


Python will swear that the aaa module is not loaded

workaround:
import aaa
def a(test):
import aaa
print aaa.somefunction(test)
a("foo")
