Deskew for win 32 bit

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16158

I went ahead and re compiled the plugin from the GITHUB src here.
https://github.com/prokoudine/gimp-deskew-plugin

Seems to work fine in Gimp-2.8 win 32 bit.
Menu location - Layer>Transform>Deskew
The plugin has no interface widget/dialog window.

Deskew, also called auto straighten, is the automatic rotation of an image such that the text is vertically aligned. This is great for cleaning up scanned documents.

Hi Rod.

I wonder if this would work fine with BIMP to batch processing.

Looks like it will.

@Rod, I just try it and you can choose the plugin from BIMP (1.4). But when apply BIMP the images remain unchanged. I do not understand what those values mean in BIMP regarding Deskew plugin.
I've tried with two skewed documents, and Deskew without BIMP works great.

Can you attach those docs here YAFU and i will see what i can do.

Or i can send you an PM with my email if you prefer.
There is no documentation on this plugin as the website of the original author seems to be down.

Hmm...

I wonder if the problem calling it from BIMP is related to the inability to run the plug-in from a Python script:

http://gimpforums.com/thread-run-deskew ... fu-console
(One of many cross-postings, everywhere but here it seems

)

Now I was going to suggest that they try your version as it's been compiled from recent source BUT I just tried it and it gives up when loading GIMP with a failure to find libintl-8.dll and coupled with the BIMP problem I don't hold out much hope.

So if you're up for a challenge could you try calling it from the Python console as described in the GimpForums thread, and then if it doesn't work - trying to debug why.

Well we got running the plugin from Python problem solved:

Code: Select all

pdb.gimp_deskew_plugin(image,drawable,0,0,0,0,0,run_mode=0)

by setting the run mode to interactive, but as this is completely backwards, I don't think you're going to get the plug-in working because BIMP is, understandably, going to be setting the run mode to non-interactive, which causes the plug-in to error.

If I had samj's compilation environment I'd have a go at fixing it, but that's not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

Modification procedure to work with Python.
Example call with python console :

drawable=image.active_layer
pdb.gimp_deskew_plugin(image, drawable)

So you do not need the other parameters when running through python console?

@Rod

This plugin was written from "gimp-plugin-template".
The other parameters are not used.
