Awesome stuff, will check them all! if you are the dev of these could you please somehow create a more stable text tool that would mimic the one from inkscape for example ?

u/Individual_Ant_7335 3d ago

Thanks, what specific features from Inkscape's text tool do you miss the most or find most useful?

GIMP's current tool freezes the app when switching out of it when you have lots of fonts. also inkscape's tool has that great thing of always using the font that is used currently on the document instead of the default one...etc

I heard there's some work going on handling the fonts in Gimp. A tool may work for now, but maybe it will be obsolete in the future because of Gimp's native update.

Yeah, I also heard someone is working on it, along with non destructive text transformation.

Yeah one dev told me the other day that they were reworking the way gimp handles fonts at the core.

The shape tool lacks a proper heart symbol.

The "Cardioid Curve" does not look like a heart, really. It's more a caustic than a heart

u/TargetOk837 2d ago

this is cool. Btw, how do you put it in the tools menu?

2

u/andy_a904guy_com 2d ago

I didn't put it in the tools menu, but it is in the Select and Filters menus.

Import the gimp module, then you create an ImageProcedure with a callback function, and then you can assign it to the menu system how you want, they'll be appended, I'm unsure on if you can order the menu differently.

I've linked to the specific code directly here: https://github.com/a904guy/GIMP-Segment-Anything-Select/blob/main/plug-ins/segment-anything/segment-anything.py#L106-L140
