Export Selection
February 21, 2009 - 21:40 — jwdevel
This script pops up a GUI which allows you to save your selection to various places
The source is your current selection (or whole image if none) applied to one of:
- the current layer
- all visible layers
- all layers
The destination is one of:
- a PNG file (saved directly to disk)
- a new image in GIMP
- a new layer in the current image

May not be compatible with Inkscape
Since Export Selection only exports to PNG format and I have PNG associated with Inkscape, once it's exported, my machine automatically opens it in Inkscape. The problem is the top 75% of the page displays fine but the bottom 25% looks like it didn't finish (there's a kind of ghost image of what should be there). But the file itself is OK as I can open it in Firefox and it displays properly.
I'm running GIMP 2.6.4 and Inkscape 0.45.
Two suggestions:
1) Ability to choose what format to export to
2) Ability to choose the file name of the exported file
Otherwise, it works well!
May not be compatible with Inkscape
What the reason to associate PNG to a vector software?
and anyway you have the same problem if you first load inkscape and then you try to open or import the file ?
But it hadn't workd...
What a pity! I tried out the script with using a small file with only 3 layers, 2 visible. I got the following error message:
"Fehler beim Ausführen von
(script-fu-export-selection 1 3 1 1)
Error: car: argument 1 must be: pair"
I use GIMP 2.4.6.
runtime error
I just updated to 2.6 and now I see this error as well.
I will post a fix soon, I hope.
or not?
This is strange. After trying some things, I now have it working, but it's exactly the same as it was originally!
Maybe some combination of refreshing the script dir and re-copying files made GIMP happy?
Regardless, I have the exact script that's already published working on GIMP-2.6.6 now, even though I clearly had your error before... Sorry I can't be much more help, but I can't reproduce it anymore...
Useful idea!
Ah, that's a very useful idea! I sometimes try out different effects by combining layers. 1-2 days ago by this way I got a file which was as thick as GIMP seem nearly to break down at saving it. I saved all the incurrent images by duplicating the visible layers and then saved the result as PNG, but didn't find a function which allows to save only the visible layers as GIMP-file (save as copy seem to save all layers according to the long saving-time).
So for all people who works with similar methods a script like this seems to be a "must-have"!
upload...
