digikam and gimp

Hello,

I would like to launch gimp from digikam with only one touch (I have a
lot of images with a dust on it), but don't find a way (right clicking
hundred of times is boring)

any solution?

thanks
jdd

Hello,

select all relevant images. Click "Open with". Choose GIMP.
It works for me here.

Bruno

but it opens *all* the image at the same time! I have 750 of them!

opening a window for each image is the default gimp way.

But, for example, in gwenview, when you open *one* image, the next
button gives you the next image in the folder. I don't think gimp can
do the same, alas

Impossible to really work with Krita, we can't compare these two

Several people asked for Digikam shortcut to open pictures with Gimp.
When you have hundred or thousands pictures to open with Gimp you get
lot of time. Digikam can't do that so I use Konqueror or Nautilus to
launch Gimp in one click. The real question is : is Digikam able to edit
pictures as well as Gimp ? I think not. So, if you need to work with
Digikam, my opinion is that  Digikam need shorcut to quickly launch Gimp

If I may suggest...

I'm a Gimp user too. When I do some image(s) edition, I start Digikam AND
Gimp. Then a simple mouse drag/drop between the DK album thumbnails view
and the Gimp window opens the image in Gimp.
When Gimp edition is over, save image, close image window, then next
drag/drop from DK thumbnails view.

Jean-François

as far as I see, krita works exactly like gimp on this respect: open
as many window as selected images, no "next image"

did I miss something? (krita 2.3.1)

I don't think rerd eye works this way, it simply recreate a random
eye, replacing red by brown

If it is the same operation you have to do an many images, I recommend
using imagemagick. It is on command line, but there are good tutorials.
It is very fast and can do almost everything. You can safe your commands
in a text file, so you remember them...

I think, doing mostly the same on hundrets of images in an image editor
is very time comsuming and boring, so investing a little bit of time in
getting to know how to use imagemagick is more than worthwhile.

un saludo

I found this link

http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/Bug-301536-New-wish-configurable-shortcuts-for-opening-pics-in-other-applications-like-gimp-rawtheral-td4655465.html

The best would be a feature that exists in Gimp, "use dynamic keyboards
shortcuts", which allows you to customize the shortcuts on the fly. For
now, I am forced to use Konqueror or Nautilus to open my pictures.

yes, I use often image magic, but here it's of no use. I have to
visually choose a part of the photo with the same color as the dust
masked part and copy it. It's not the same part for every image :-(

yes, I also remember having seen a pretty long thread about this in
this mailing list.

I think this is a kde problem, in fact, not digikam one.

Looking at this I may have found a solution, almost partially.

In the kde configuration, second line, you have a module "shortcuts
and gesture".

Contrary to the digikam version, this module have an "edit" button at
the bottom that allows you to enter a global shortcut.

For example I could add "gimp" to "Alt G".

Where I need help is to add the option to make gimp open the digikam
selected photo (if possible). Right now it only opens a free window

thanks

after some tests, I notice that this is the better solution, with just
a change.

the gimp main window is always under the digikam one, so I have to
select it to be able to drop a photo in it. But I found an option.
clic on the fox upper left icon (gimp), select "advanced" "always on
top" and voilà!

alwyas glad to see a discussion leading to a solution :-)

thanks
jdd

Well, you need to do this only if your Gimp window is 100% covered by your
Digikam window (perhaps in full screen mode ?).
But if you size/place the two windows in a way to always have a small part
of the Gimp window visible, it works straightforward. Drag'n'drop
implementation requires you can see even a square centimeter of the target
window even when te htarget window isn't selected.
And dropping makes the target window raise over all others, ready to work.

I really think drag'n'drop is the most handy way to share files when both
applications, the source one and the target one, feature D'n'D. And it's
faster than the « Right menu, Open with, select application... » mechanism.
Same can be done between Dolphin and Gimp.

Regards,
Jean-François

PS: Wilber, the Gimp mascot, isn't a fox but is a coyote.
But yes, aside from zoological interest, it changes very few things
to the edition processing:-))
