A nice little Links script

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16153

This is a SCM script i found browsing the internet i thought would be useful to alot of folks.You can define your own links in this script and it will reside at the top of the image window as the menu item "Links".

I took the liberty of adding our Forum Link "Gimp Chat" =)
here is the code, just save as a scm and make sure its unblocked and refresh your scripts.

Code: Select all


(define (gimp-tutorials)
  (plug-in-web-browser "http://www.gimp-tutorials.net/")
)

(define (gimper)
  (plug-in-web-browser "http://www.gimper.net/")
)

(define (gimp-talk)
  (plug-in-web-browser "http://www.gimptalk.com/")
)

(define (gimpchat)
  (plug-in-web-browser "http://www.gimpchat.com/")
)


(script-fu-register "gimp-tutorials"
   _"_GIMP-tutorials.net"
   _"various GIMP tutorials all on one site"
    "John Laubach <[email protected]>"
    "John Laubach <[email protected]>"
    "2008"
    ""
)

(script-fu-menu-register "gimp-tutorials"
                         "<Toolbox>/Links")

Sweet! I love it!
Great find!

That's pretty nice except I don't like it taking up real estate on my Gimp menu bar. I'll try to get it into the Filters or Script-Fu menus.

That's one of the reasons I don't get scripts from Source Forge because they put another menu item on the Gimp menu.

Ahh! This !!
This i was needing to wrote my second script !! (the first was 3 years ago, now would be useless because the same function was later added to gimp...
As you know i am too modest to let you know who whispered in the dev hears the suggestion to add "new layer to visible" , "paste as new layer", "paste as new image" to the gimp menu )

Yes i usually hate script fu because preview is not supported neither radio buttons, but for what i have in mind both are not needed!!

But why i get similar idea when are 5.20 AM and still i didn't had a nap ? :hoh

I haven't had any problems with mine.It even works in Gimp-2.6.11 really well.

I too haven't had any problem with the script

Only i wished to change the links and the menu locations and definitions

Almost done now also thank to Paynekj that spotted the lost parentheses

I'd suggest putting it under "help" rather than Select, as select is supposed to deal with selections.

RobA, Help is the perfect place for it. I like it in the Help menu.

I have changed it to be in the Help menu and am attaching it. I've tested it and it works fine.

I've also added mahvin's website to it.

Find it here: Help > Links

yes Help is perfect, did you see my version?
i added also links for MeetTheGimp and Jolie (GimpTrick) video tutorial,
and in Image menu a entry for the CreativeCommone Image search, to grab new image on the fly

But what i found beatiful in this script is that everybody may adapt it to fit his need:
it seems almost in plain english no need to be a script guru to hack it, a little bit of english seems sufficent

You really didn't saw it !! i was hoping the title sufficent to catch attention

...Here! viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1559

(and as now in several other places, i don't mind how much a code or a hack may be trivial till does something useful :yes

)

OK, got it. I added mahvin's website in your script, PhotoComix and made everything come up in the Links menu instead of having the separate menus as in yours.

Code: Select all

your version is for sure better for who already know what that "Links" menu may hide (i suppose almost everybody here)

i think mine could grab more the attention of other that when noticing a "Help Forum" or "Video Tutorial" entry , may say..."help forum...that is really what i need know" or even "nice this could be handy i must remember to click here next time i got stuck"

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16153

Yes that is also where i have mine located in the Select/Links menu.
Think ill add that creative commons link too.

Thanks PC
