New Plugin Developer Looking for a decent upto date tutorial

Hello,

I just joined this mailing list mainly because I have some cool ideas about two plugins that I want to realize. I finally have enough knowlidge and time to do it. This is something I am very eager to do mainly beacause I want to contribute to this great project, even if it is this small bit.

However I have encountered a problem. I was looking for a Plugin development tutorial, and I found some, two from the gimp webpage and some more googling but the problem with those is they are all outdated (most of them were for versions 1.1 and 1.2), so I was wondering if anyone knows the location of something more upto date. It does not have to be exactly a tutorial, but the plugins I have in mind are rather complex (at least to me) and I have no idea where to start so the API will not quite do it.

Thank you in advance, Stefan

one thing that always will help is to look at the source of the plug-ins that do similar things.

http://developer.gimp.org/plug-in-template.html has really reduced many of the questions and problems.

http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/gimp/guadec2002/gimp-plugin/html/

http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/#Script would be a good place to look for scripting help.

perhaps dave neary will pop up with a url to his notes from the conference this year.

looking at the examples in the source is probably going to be the very best help.

welcome aboard,
carol

Hi,

Quoting Carol Spears :

perhaps dave neary will pop up with a url to his notes from the conference this year.

The paper (warts and all) is online here: http://dneary.free.fr/guadec-paper/

There are also slides from the talk and a dumb plug-in. If someone wanted to move these onto dgo I would be happy to put them under an open content licence for that.

Cheers,
Dave.
