The actual and original README (c) Olivier Tharan (he's a friend of mine, yep)
|
|
|
|
Let me introduce myself...
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
My name is dbbrowser, but I have been known in my youth as dblist, almost as
|
|
of version 0.05! I am an extension for the Gimp and my purpose is to display a
|
|
list of all the procedures that have registered themselves in the procedure
|
|
database. The main thing I do is a gimp_query_procedure and a pair of
|
|
gimp_query_database.
|
|
|
|
What can this marvel do ?
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
The dbbrowser window is divided into two parts. On the left, you have a
|
|
scrolling list containing the names of all the procedures registered within
|
|
Gimp. When you click on one of them, its name, description and author(s) are
|
|
displayed on the right side, altogether with the types and parameters the
|
|
procedure takes and what it returns.
|
|
|
|
All this is rather brilliantly completed by two search buttons, one for a
|
|
by-name search, the other one for a by-blurb search. Just enter any regexp you
|
|
have in mind in the text widget beneath the list and click on the appropriate
|
|
button; the results of the search are automagically displayed in the scrolling
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
Even fancier: script-fu-console integration
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
dbbrowser comes handy with a patch for script-fu-console.c which adds a button
|
|
named ``Browse'' to the right of the console text widget. Clicking on the
|
|
button launches dbbrowser from which you still can choose any procedure. But
|
|
in the dbbrowser window, a fourth button has appeared, appropriately named
|
|
``Apply'', for its goal is to take the selected procedure and its arguments,
|
|
and insert them into the script-fu console command line. It would save
|
|
developers a great deal of pain to debug their scripts (or even to develop
|
|
some!)

|
|
|
|
INSTALL
|
|
|
|
These files go to gimp-xx.xx.xx/plug-ins/dbbrowser. That does not
|
|
erase the files "Makefile*", so the plug-in is easy to re-compile : just
|
|
do a "make" in this directory. Then, "make install" (as root)
|
|
to install the plug-in.
|
|
|
|
If it breaks, wait for GIMP 1.0 :) (or mail to <thomas@minet.net>)
|
|
|
|
BUGS/TODO
|
|
|
|
- refresh problem for the scrolled list (as in gtkfileselection)
|
|
- add the "help" field (I wait for a "usable" gtk_text)
|
|
- arg... well... my english is too bad to explain my others ideas :)
|
|
|
|
