Help Installing
Sorry I don't understand these instructions (not a developer!). I'm using Windows Vista and have full Administrator access to all files and folders. I have a standard install of GIMP 2.6.
Have downloaded and extracted this plug in to C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins.
I have Googled/searched for information on "apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev". I've tried to "run" this line several times from C-prompt but keep getting the message that this is not a recognized command.
In some references this was referred to as GIMP Tool Kit, and I do have a directory C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gtk-2.0 that contains two sub-dir of "2.10.0" and "Modules".
I've also tried to run the $ ./configure from c-prompt from within the "gimp-save-for-web-0.28.6" folder make many times and various permutations (./configurte; configure etc) but keep getting error message that this is not a recognized command.
What should I be doing? Please help anyone!
You maked too complex
I believe you just downloaded the wrong file, for win is http://www.registry.gimp.org/files/save_for_web_0.28.6_win32.zip
Then you have not to do anything more then extract the file in a new folder where you like, (exactly, even in Document )
Load gimp, go to Edit/Preferences/Folder , expand "folder" clicking on the arrow go in plugin and there add the path for the folder
(first click "new folder" and then "Search" icon...search icon has 3dots "..." ) then CLICK OK before exit the preference dialog !!
(it is so easy forgot to click OK at end...)
Install
OK, yes I was making it way to complicated.
Thanks for the simple directions. I've got it installed and working now.
Much appreciated your time and help.
Thank you so much
Thanks for advice. your tips very useful.
Thks
Thank u Sergio, i installed this plugin, and now i can save for web!!!

Catalan Translation
Hi there:
Auris: I've finished the catalan translation for your excellent plugin.

Wishlist
First of all, great plug-in!
Anyway, I used to use Macromedia Fireworks and missed some features for web optimisation that it has. So I was wondering if you could implement it on your plug-in. Here're the features:
It would be great if we could have these options.
Thanks for the plug-in, though!

Matte colour background for gif
Just incase anyone got here from a search for "matte colour photoshop gif transparency", the matte option for blending partially transparent pixels with another colour to greate a gif with transparency that sits nicely on a coloured background, rather than the jagged edge of white non antialiased pixels.
The plugin for this job is available from the menu (gimp 2.6)
Filters->Web->Semi-Flatten
-Chose the background colour for this in the toolbox (foreground/background colour choice).
One thing to note is that this filter (as with other filters) applies to the selected layer, so you will have to blend layers down (right-click), or apply the filter to each layer.
Wont work
Could someone please explain to me how it works. Cause is doesnt seem to download/ run with me.
In order to make Save for
In order to make Save for Web available for Mac, it would be necessary to compile it on Mac. If you don't know how to compile it yourself, your could ask someone from Gimp for Mac community. Hakan Selvi,
Error in version 0.28.1 for Windows: Image too large
Hello everybody!
Seems to me as if I fell in love with this plugin. But as I am using GIMP for Windows - still running version 2.4.7 because the 2.6 branch lacks of help files - I come across a strange error message every now and then, telling me that some of the images I want to process are "too large". Does anybody of you know if this bug is already fixed in the latest stable version 0.28.6?
And, another kind request of mine: Is there somebody among you who could update this plugin or even compile it into an EXE suitable for the use in Windows XP? I am a complete newbie when it comes to compiling.
Really looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your help!
Bye, Tim.
Very cool design! I find
Very cool design! I find very interesting information at this article, thanks.
I do not understand: You are
I do not understand:
You are using the plugin since you reported a error..right?
But then you asked for a compiled version...is there in the zip at the first link,
you will be not be able to use if was not compiled for win
Some things to be explained
Thanks a lot at first, PhotoComiX, for your remarks! As I see now, some things need to be explained:
No, I do not use the plugin since the error occurred. I just gave it a try in its 0.28.1 version which was already precompiled for Windows. And just at first sight I came across the problem of some images being too large. After that, I decided to delete the plugin from my GIMP because it didn't seem to work. But nevertheless, I somehow like the idea behind such a function. And for sure, I would really like to use it again.
And that's the reason why I was asking yesterday if the bug described had already been fixed in newer versions.
As far as I know, development continued up to version 0.28.6 until now. Just wanted to ask if someone else saw the problem I encountered, if it is - perhaps - solved in the latest version, and finally: if this very release (i.e.: Save for Web, version 0.28.6) has already been compiled for Windows XP.
So thanks again for the extra questions. Now I hope you can see my request a little clearer. And I'm still looking forward to hearing from you.
Tim
Some things to be explained
I see..
Now may be a problem of the plugin but may simply be connected to the default setting of gimp.
As default Gimp may run on obsolete computers with very few RAM, ...on the other hand that default become a limitation with modern computers with a lot of RAM.
So i suggest first to adapt that setting, you will find them under Edit/Preferences
Gimp preferences are a bit a labyrinth a look to "Adjusting GIMP's preferences " paragraph of this tut
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/beginning-with-gimp-starting-tutorial-for-... may help.
There again in preferences there is also a limit to file size of new images that may be created , on modern PC you may well increase that value
Then may even be a specific problem in that plugin, but first i would check if editing the preference solve...(also because there are no many volunteer able to compile plugin in windows )
let me know if edit preferences solved
gimp support
your link suggests this is only for windows, I have ubuntu 8.10 will it work here?

For both PPC and Intel. I have yet to try either.

Worked hip hip ura!
It works!
Tried the PPC version with Gimp 2.4.7 on Mac OS 10.4. Works perfectly.
awesome
just wanted to say thanks for creating this plugin. it works great in windows on 2.4.6!
No install instructions
I'm new to Ubuntu which is probably the problem but some proper install instructions would be really nice. The read me file doesn't exactly spell it out.
Thanks,
no need for instructions!
At this website http://www.getdeb.net/category.php?id=4 you will find the plugin as a .deb archiv. When download the file the install dialog for debian will open and the plugin will be installed. After the installation you will find in the menu file.

I cannot configure the plugin.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GIMP_CFLAGS

doesn't work
Hi, I'm totally new to GIMP but the one thing I need to do is change a photo into a cross stitch pattern which I can do, but it comes out with a million shades and I need to "save for web" and limit the number of colors so I have maybe 10 to use for the cross stitch. I downloaded the plug in, but it into my "plug in" file in my GIMP folder and I can't seem to find where I would "save for web" in GIMP. Is it under file? Is the plug in not working? help please. thanks!
re: doesn't work
If it is installed properly it will show up under File -> Save For Web.
BTW, I'm guessing you're on Windows, but if you want to try out GNU/Linux there is a very good cross stitch program called kxstitch which will import photos and give you safe colours, what thread you're supposed to use, etc. My mum loves it.
