LineBorder-2.4.2.zip70.44 KB

A python conversion of my script-fu Line border script (http://registry.gimp.org/node/118). This version uses python-glade dialogs. It allows to create smaller and much clever input dialog and integrate much more functions. On other side, due to missing support of glade dialogs from Gimp, there is not possble to run this script in batch mode.

Current features:

  • All sizes could be specified in pixels or percents
  • Border corners and lines corners could be rounded
  • Multiple lines of text
  • Different font for eeach text
  • Texts coud be also placed on left, right or upper border
  • A watermark support (text or logo)
  • Translations (cs, nl)

If you found a bug or have a wish, please let me know. Thanks.

TODO:

  • Profiles (create/update/delete/rename)
  • Fill border with pattern
  • Allow to put Exif information inside the border
  • Allow batch mode
  • Use own script parameters dialog (Glade)
  • Allow more text options (each text in different font...)
  • Large border also in % of image Angle with round (if possible) (JacqDjo)
  • Sign (text,and color) in image with choice corner (JacqDjo)
  • Put text on right border of image instead under
  • Translations

INSTALLATION:

You need a gimp with python support installed.

Linux:

  • Extract content of the zip archive to the ~/.gimp2.6/plug-ins/ directory
  • Make script executable (chmod og+x ~/.gimp2.6/plug-ins/kym-Border.py
  • Script is installed under Filters/Decor/Borders/ as Line Border 2

Windows:

Hello,

I'm French and I thank you to forgive me for my bad English :-(

I find this script really beautiful and I would like to use it in French if it's possible. So I would like to know how I can send you the translation in my language.

January 13, 2011 - 13:57 — mkyral

Hi,
you can sent it to my email as is specified in https://github.com/mkyral/LineBorder/raw/master/LineBorder/LineBorder/po...

Thanks,
Marián

I'm doing the translation but I have a problem with the word BLOCK because I can't see any difference with LEFT and with this sentence "Rotate text to left if is placed to side" because I don't find it.

January 13, 2011 - 22:28 — mkyral

Yes,
I think I have some bug there. I'll look on it when I have a time. Probably next week. (If I don't forget)

January 13, 2011 - 14:06 — Tatou

OK, I'll try it as soon as possible !
Thank you for your answer.

Bonjour.
je ne parle pas anglais.
J'ai installé votre script sur mon Imac mais il ne fonctionne pas.
Nous avons essayé plusieurs solutions : http://www.gimp-attitude.org/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6735&p=47054#p4... (en français)
Je dois explorer d'autres chemins mais quand je clic sur Line Border il ne se passe rien.

Merci.

With Google :

Hi,
could you run Gimp from console? When you click on LineBorder 2 menu item in Gimp, it should write some error there.

Regards,
Marián

LineBorder2 is not the problem. Problem are the packages lineborder2 depends on.

@philnc. Check the packages python, pycairo, pygtk, pygobject and libglade. Googling shows me that these packages exist for leopard

You will find here the versionnumbers and links: http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503. Take extremly care of pygtk WITH glade.

If you get it working I like to hear of you because I can then update the install instructions for the Mac.

Hi all,
I've created a git repository: http://github.com/mkyral/LineBorder/tree/master/LineBorder

You can download the actual version there and help me with translation to your language. If you need help with generation of .po file, tell me to which language you want to translate and I'll generate it.
