Hi folks, I've been delving into skin painting a bit recently using the gimp 2.8 both on win7 and on Linux. I was wondering if anybody has already created a plugin / python-fu script to simplify the repetitive steps of - making the "wireframe" layer invisible - flattening the image - exporting to DDS using the previous export file name, prompt for an export file if it's the first export in this run - setting export options (compression, mipmap generation) - undoing the "flatten image" & visibility steps I've been trying to create a script but am currently stuck at the DDS export step. It would be great if someone who's done some gimp scripting could lend a hand here. I guess this could also be done outside of gimp using AutoHotkey or some similar tool, but I'd rather do this the "proper" way so it works on all the platforms the gimp supports. Cheers, Uwe
I don't know if the Gimp has, but Photoshop has an tool called "Action", it consists in record the actions you do (even the action of save and close the file), save the script and when you want to re do the action just run the script saved.
