GIMP User Filter allows use of Photoshop filters

09-15-2008 11:00 AM
One brake on the GIMP's popularity is that, while it boasts dozens of filters, a rival like Photoshop boasts thousands. You may only occasionally need a special effect that imitates a pencil sketch or a famous style of painting such as Impressionism or Cubism, but, when you do, having a filter to create the effect instantly saves serious amount of time. To help bridge this divide, the GIMP is reviving the User Filter from its 1.x releases. This filter is a kind of meta-plugin that allows users to import and manage Photoship filters or, if they have the knowledge, to write their own.

NAME
gimptool-2.0 - script to perform various GIMPy functions SYNOPSIS
gimptool-2.0 [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--help] [--quiet] [--silent] [-n] [--just-print] [--dry-run] [--recon] [--msvc-syntax] [--bindir] [--sbindir] [--libexecdir] [--datadir] [--sysconfdir] [--sharedstatedir] [--localstatedir] [--libdir] [--infodir] [--mandir] [--includedir] [--gimpplugindir] [--gimpdatadir] [--libs] [--libs-noui] [--cflags] [--cflags-noi] [--build plug-in.c] [--build-strip plug-in.c] [--install plug-in.c] [--install-strip plug-in.c] [--install-admin plug-in.c] [--install-bin plug-in] [--install-admin-strip plug-in.c] [--install-bin-strip plug-in] [--install-admin-bin plug-in] [--install-script script.scm] [--install-admin-script script.scm] [--uninstall-bin plug-in] [--uninstall-admin-bin plug-in] [--uninstall-script script.scm] [--unin- stall-admin-script script.scm] DESCRIPTION
gimptool-2.0 is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file. gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. gimptool-2.0 uses pkg- config for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended that you use pkg-config directly instead of calling gimptool-2.0. OPTIONS
gimptool-2.0 accepts the following options: --version Print the currently installed version of GIMP on the standard output. --help Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options. --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands. --silent Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as --quiet. -n Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Useful for making dry runs for testing. --just-print Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n. --dry-run Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n. --recon Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n. --msvc-syntax Useful on Windows. Outputs the compiler and linker flags in the syntax used by Microsoft's toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config com- mand that does most of gimptool-2.0's work. --bindir Outputs the bindir used to install the GIMP. --sbindir Outputs the sbindir used to install the GIMP. --libexecdir Outputs the libexecdir used to install the GIMP. --datadir Outputs the datadir used to install the GIMP. --sysconfdir Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the GIMP. --sharedstatedir Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the GIMP. --localstatedir Outputs the localstatedir used to install the GIMP. --libdir Outputs the libdir used to install the GIMP. --infodir Outputs the infodir used to install the GIMP. --mandir Outputs the mandir used to install the GIMP. --includedir Outputs the includedir used to install the GIMP. --gimpdatadir Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP data files were installed. --gimpplugindir Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP plug-ins were installed. --build plug-in.c Compile and link plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in. --build-strip plug-in.c Compile,link, and strip plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in. --install plug-in.c Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins) --install-strip plug-in.c Compile, link,strip, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins) --install-admin plug-in.c Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins) --install-bin plug-in Install plug-in into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins) --install-admin-bin plug-in Install plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins) --install-bin-strip plug-in Install stripped plug-in into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins) --install-admin-bin-strip plug-in Install stripped plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins) --install-script script.scm Install script.scm into the user's personal GIMP script directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/scripts) --install-admin-script script.scm Install script.scm into the system-wide GIMP script directory (/usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts) --uninstall-bin plug-in Uninstall plug-in from the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins) --uninstall-admin-bin plug-in Uninstall plug-in from the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins) --uninstall-script script.scm Uninstall script.scm from the user's personal GIMP script directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/scripts) --uninstall-admin-script script.scm Uninstall script.scm from the system-wide GIMP script directory (/usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts) --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in. --libs-noui Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in, for plug-ins that do not require the GTK+ libraries. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GIMP plug-in. --clags-noui Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GIMP plug-in for plug-ins that do not require the GTK+ libraries. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GIMP was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. --exec-prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that GIMP was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. ENVIRONMENT
CC to get the name of the desired C compiler. CFLAGS to get the preferred flags to pass to the C compiler for plug-in building. DESTDIR to add a prefix to the install/uninstall path. LDFLAGS to get the preferred flags for passing to the linker. LIBS for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process. For example, LIBS=-lintl . PKG_CONFIG to get the location of the pkg-config program that is used to determine details about your glib, pango, gtk+ and gimp installation. SEE ALSO
