Hi,

I have a tower and a laptop. Both on Win10, Gimp 2.10.10, and with a Frequency separation script (SS-Split-Components_v1-0.scm)
On the laptop the script stops at the gaussian blur to let me choose the correct blur, but on the tower the script don't stop.
Do someboby know why it stops on a computer but continues on the other one ?
I'm searching for a while but I don't find what's the difference between computers.
Did I change A parameter and forgot it (I don'ts see wich one), or is it something else ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for rapid answer.

I Installed Gimp on the laptop this afternoon. It's then a brand new user profile.
Il renamed the existing user profil on the tower. Gimp created then a brand new one.
But it still the same problem.

Do you have something else to try ?

Thanks.

I don't use specific security software. Both are running with the one integrated in Win10.
Actually it's the plugin you mention on the previous anwer I use. I runs at the end on both computer, but it not stops on the tower.

The pugin contents


Is it possible that gimp on tower is not in interactive mode ? If yes, hot to turn it on ?

Thanks

It's a script.
The one you mentioned and contains :


As I understand from line "(plug-in-gauss-iir2 RUN-INTERACTIVE img ss-layer-lowpass blur-radius blur-radius)", bur is supposed to run interactively. It runs, but not interactively. I don't understand why, and then how to fix it.

From my experience, I was never able to get RUN-INTERACTIVE to work or came across any script that allows this.
always used RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
If you want users to be able to change parameters then it has to be changed/selected when the script starts... I have never seen any scripts or plug-in that runs and then stops and lets user change INTERACTIVELY halfway through.

The script needs to be installed Gaussian Blur (in 2.10 replaced by Gegl).

1.Check the entry on the menu on both computers:
Filters/Blur/Gaussian Blur...

2.Make a file search
gimp_dir}\plug-ins\blur-gauss.exe

If my assumptions are correct on one computer, this file is missing (and on the other one it installed as a copy from the older version of Gimp).

ps. Recently Rich2005 wrote about it but I forgot what thread and forum

Actually my "Chiseled Steel Text" filter opens shadow effects interactively.

To the original poster:
You may want to try and change the "RUN-INTERACTIVE" to a 0 and see if that works.

Well that's something I didn't know scheme can do.
Since in python, you don't even have the option to pass that RUN-MODE parameter.

It's there but as a named parameter(*), no need to encumber the positional parameters(**) with a parameter you seldom use(***).

(*) Something like "foobar(image, layer, run_mode=RUN_INTERACTIVE)" (possibilities are: 'RUN_INTERACTIVE', 'RUN_NONINTERACTIVE', 'RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS')
(**) All glory to Python designers
(***) Using it in IMHO a capital sin anyway

On windows start Gimp from the command line, start your plugin and exit. Examine the error .txt file.

So use cmd, go to the root, path should point to the Gimp bin then type at the prompt: "gimp-2.10 > error.txt 2>&1" without quotes of course. All the output of Gimp will be written in error.txt (here in the root path).

After exit look at the error file and read carefully its contents. If you do that for both computers I hope you will find your solution.

I have done this many times when I was busy with developing Indexprint and every time it was helpful.

For Linux is it easier. Start Gimp from terminal, start your plugin and observe the output in terminal screen.

Just tried it it lets me run the code when I tried using named parameter but no interactive window popped up...ah well I have lived without it so it's not a big deal.

How did this stray so far from the original post? MareroQ gave the solution, use the old blur-gauss plugin from a Gimp 2.8 installation.





However, always a however,
The most useful option, frequency separation is already in Gimp 2.10 as Filters -> Enhance -> High Pass

The other is a bit strange, theory is that applying an unsharp mask without luminosity is best. Not too sure about that. Can be done manually by messing around with Colors -> Components -> Decompose (LCH)

I tried it and it worked for me:

That one worked for me too.
The one that didn't work for me was.
pdb.plug_in_gauss_iir2(gimp.image_list()[0],gimp.image_list()[0].layers[0],200,200,run_mode=RUN_INTERACTIVE)
maybe pdb.plug_in_gauss_iir2 doesn't have a dialog.

@Jean-Marc68.
Are you too busy to give feedback?

@Ofnuts.
There is no forgiveness for sins? [(***) Using it in IMHO a capital sin anyway ]
I used in one plugin (one with frames in stride - or something like that) 17 times.
And I think that in the case of visualization it is a very good solution.

@Trandoductin.
I am convinced that you tried this code in Gimp 2.10 without considering the installation of the plugin replaced by GEGL.
Although, from my little experience, I know about some limitations in an interactive call:
- you can not call another skript-fu from the skript-fu (this is understandable because only one can act actively),
- python plugin can not call another Python plugin (and I do not understand it),
- not all plugins (although PDB says something else), especially those "unofficial" older and replaced by GEGL (only some procedures have been left).
I think that in your forum you should consider adding all "missing" files (they are in 2.8 but not in 2.10) to download (in versions 32 and 64 bit) - although there are a lot of them
(but then the user does not have to install "all" Gimp 2.8 for the need of having, for example, one file).

@Rich2005.
Thank you for a broader explanation of the problem.
As for the content of the statement - the lack of deeper control (probably unimaginable on GimpForu.Net) but also for it - I like GimpChat.

Happy Easter for all of the members in Gimp Chat, Gimp-Forum.net and Gimp Learn.
