I have a set of images that I am trying to process manually, so I wrote a simple plug-in to try and help make it a little less painful. The images are numbered sequentially. So when I finish working on one image I can hit a key combo and it saves the file with the correct name and opens the next one in the list. This all works fine.
The issue I have with the plug-in is that for newly opened images the undo-redo history does not work. I am not sure if I am not loading it in correctly, or if there is something that I have to set for the undo history to be enabled. When the new image is loaded the undo history is completely blank, and when I make changes to the image nothing new is added to it as I work on the file. This makes it difficult to do anything as a mistake means starting over. I am using the latest gimp version 2.8.18.
I am a complete newb at writing gimp plug-ins and built this from web examples, so any help to figure out why this is happening would greatly appreciated. Here is the code I wrote for the plug-in:
#!/usr/bin/python
from gimpfu import *
import os.path
def get_next_filename(filepath):
#Now figure out the next image to load
old_file = filepath.replace("\\", "/")
file_info = old_file.split('/')
#print file_info
name = file_info[len(file_info) - 1].replace(".JPG", "").replace("P", "")
print name
next_num = int(name) + 1
new_name = "P" + str(next_num) + ".JPG"
print new_name
file_info[len(file_info) - 1] = new_name
s = "/"
new_path = s.join(file_info)
print new_path
return new_path
def plugin_main(timg, tdrawable):
print "orig filename: ", timg.filename
new_filename = timg.filename.replace(".JPG", "_colored.JPG")
print "new filename: ", new_filename
layer = pdb.gimp_image_merge_visible_layers(timg, CLIP_TO_IMAGE)
if not os.path.isfile(new_filename):
pdb.gimp_file_save(timg, layer, new_filename, '?')
else:
pdb.gimp_message ("Failed to save segmented image. File " + new_filename + " already exists.")
print "Closing image"
#pdb.gimp_display_delete(gimp._id2display(0))
#Try to load one of the next 5 consecutive image numbers.
#If none found then quit plugin, else load it.
new_path = timg.filename
for i in range(0,5):
new_path = get_next_filename(new_path)
if os.path.isfile(new_path):
print new_path + " found. Loading it."
img = pdb.file_jpeg_load(new_path, new_path)
pdb.gimp_display_new(img)
return
pdb.gimp_message ("No more consecutive images were found in the folder.")
register(
"segmented_saver",
"Saves a segmented image with the correct name and opens next image.",
"Saves a segmented image with the correct name and opens next image.",
"DC",
"DC",
"2016",
"<Image>/Image/Save Segmented...",

plugin_main)
main()
