Photoshop Pattern Loader
October 26, 2008 - 16:17 — eric.lamarque
Plugin to load Photoshop PAT patterns set as image in GIMP. Multiple patterns included in a file are loaded as layers. Should handle Grayscale, Indexed and RGB patterns ; anyway, a RGB image is always created for now. Requires Gimp 2.4.

compiling for ubuntu?
can't seem to compile it for ubuntu. Any help please?
Got answer
You can compile it with console command:
gimptool-2.0 --build file.c
Im new to this whole thing....
How do I compile with console command: gimptool-2.0 --build file.c ???? Could you break it down step by step for me?
Thanks! :)
Some useful information
This plugin is made for Linux only. Windows users should look this page: http://registry.gimp.org/node/11003
First, you need gimptool-2.0 in your machine. I have Ubuntu 9.04 here, and gimptool-2.0 is not available by default, but it can be obtained installing libgimp2.0-dev, via apt-get or Synaptic.
Then run in terminal, in the same folder you downloaded ps-pat-load.c, the following command:
gimptool-2.0 --build ps-pat-load_1.c
A file named ps-pat-load_1 will be created, then move it to gimp's plugin folder. That's all.
Remember Photoshop Pattern Loader will not enable you to simply use Photoshop patterns as Gimp patterns, it will just enable you to open Photoshop patterns as a common image.
Some useful information-2
As C4Ptain said ,then to USE the patterns once opened as image just save each layer as jpg, png or pat in your gimp pattern folder.
If you have GAP installed you may speed up a lot
Once you have all pattern opened as layers in a image:
1 Save the image as XCF in the folder where you want all the converted patterns be saved
2 Video/split image into frames
chose png, jpg or pat as extension and click ok
3 now you may delete the saved XCF, and use the patterns
Just for the records: the
Just for the records: the source code here is in no way "for Linux only". Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to compile the very same code into the plug-in you've linked too.
It is some amount of work to get a build environment set up on Microsoft Windows, true, but it is manageable. Just do not expect to be able to do this without learning a lot ;)
Yes, but...
without "some amount of work" it is just to be used under Linux. Who wants to use it under Windows the easyest way should go get the plug-in you made. :-)
Maybe you should start by
Maybe you should start by telling us what you do not understand - for many, the command mentioned there is one step.
:/
Maybe this a stupid question, but: how to compile this plugin under Linux?
I've compiled a Windows
I've compiled a Windows binary for this plug-in.
Thank you
I think I poorly answered build request for Windows...
Great plugin, but how can I
Great plugin, but how can I use it on Windows?
Building C plugin on Windows
Hello,
my knowledge on Windows environment is very limited, but you should get several things :
- a C compiler
- gimp development tools and libraries, in particular gimptool utility
- probably other things.
This page seems to give correct procedure to build plugin on windows.
Hope this is helpful.
The page mentioned there
The page mentioned there talks about using cygwin, which is discouraged if you want to build binaries for other people.
Building C plugin on Windows
Thanks for answer. I'm happy Linux user myself, but my friend asked me about Windows version of your plug-in.
