Batch tools to add copyright in GIMP 2.8
I used Python 2.7 which worked fine to install batchtools 1.02 for GIMP 2.8.
The batch copyright signature tool works well, but a stop button would be handy (I processed 430 images as an inadvertant test!).
The directory picker is not what I am used to in Windows (like Browse would be good).
1. you didn't have to install
1. you didn't have to install Python for GIMP 2.8. It's already included. The instructions are given for 2.6 version of GIMP and older.
2. I don't think Stop button is possible in Python scripts, you gonna need another plugin outside GIMP to kill the process.
3. Try batch image manipulation plugin (BIMP) http://registry.gimp.org/node/26259
It has STOP button, and you can pick individual files rather than folders from a Windoze-like Browser window))
And yeah, batch watermarking and much more.
Not Working
Hi,
I have installed GIMP, it is recognizing Python (I can see it in the Tools menu), I have copied batchtools.py into my user>gimp>plug in folder, but it's still not working. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Not Working
Python isn't in the Tools menu. It should show up as Filters/Python-fu. You can test that you have Filters/Renders/Clouds/Fog and that it is functional (this is one of the few standard plugins written in Python).
"my user>gimp>plug in" doesn't look right, the Gimp folder is normally called ".gimp-2.6" or ".gimp-2.8" depending on the version you run. It has a leading dot, so it may be hidden by default on Linux or OSX, but you should eventually find it. And the subdirectory is "plug-ins". On Linux (and maybe OSX) the .py file (check that it wasn't downloaded with a .py.txt extension) should be given the "execute" permission.
This sounds like what I need
This sounds like the exact tool I need, but I confess I don't understand how to install it. I feel like I should know or should be able to find out, but no luck.
Re: Batch tools watermark
First thing you need to do is make sure you have Python installed for GIMP. You can find that information here:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/23868
Then, you need to uninstall/reinstall GIMP for it to recognize the Python installation (more information can be found at the above link).
All .py extension files are considered plug-ins and would be placed in the .gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder found at (c:\users\your_user_name\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins) <----Windows Vista and Win 7
