ScriptLab

[startreksuite]

So I searched the forum, and I believe someone had this issue before, but did not see a solution. Scriptlab crashes saying there is a key already there or something to that effect. I have a portable version I installed later, in which it works. when I tried to load a script, it said error loading script.

Any suggestions on how to fix these errors?

Thanks in advance.

When does it crash? When you first open it or what? Also, please post the full text of the error. Take a screenshot if that would be easier.

I downloaded some of the ready made scripts from the script sharing thread and put them in a folder in My Documents . But whenever I try to load one of them I get an error -

@Goonfella, I think because the plugins never been updated in the script files:

I added some new ones, try to see if they work.

[Goonfella]

I tried the woodfloor one and initially it seemed OK. I  loaded the script into Scriptlab without a problem and all the various effects were listed but when I clicked on `OK'. to finish I got an Unhandled error and had to close down PDN. Luckily I did not have anything else I was working on loaded at the time or all my progress would have been lost.

Crash log?

[yellowman]

 I had this crash log tonight, when I was trying to load another file,

Anyways, whenever I use the plugin it crashes on the 4th or 5th attempt, and ask me to close PDN recommended

When I try to see the whole of the crashlog I am unable to extend the box down. I have to scroll. So I captured what I could -

 

 

 

NB - I tried the plug in again to get the bottom part of the log but this time it worked! Typical.

If you do see that again, you should be able to highlight and copy the full text.

[Goonfella]

Will do. Hopefully it won`t be necessary. Thanks.

I love this nifty add-in also, but I want to know if the scripts I create can be loaded somewhere under an Effects sub-menu so I can just click on a script name to make it do its thing???

 

Otherwise I have to click on Scriptlab, then load my script, then exit Scriptlab each time I want to use any of my scripts - right?

You can't save your scripts into sub menus, you need to do as you say - open scriptlab and then load up the script that you saved to your user files. You could put them into sub menus in your documents folder and then load one up from there though

Hello, is it possible to use the editors functions with scriptlab such as save, load, undo, redo etc. Also, is it possible to store values within the plugin to use a more mathematical method of repeat processing images?

[Ego Eram Reputo]

This cannot be done.  Paint.net's developer limits access to these areas.  They are off limits to plugins.

 

If you're after powerful batch processing try IrFanView.

You're using an old version of ScriptLab. Get the latest version here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7291

I was planning on writing a very similar if not identical plugin, luckily I've discovered in time that this has existed for years before I started with my own implementation.

 

I'm wondering, is this still actively maintained and would you be open for one or two suggestions? I admint, I haven't read through all 14 pages, to see if they were already posted, in that case, I apologize.

 

1. I think it would be great I we had the option to set a default file/folder to which the scripts could be saved with a simple click without opening a SaveFileDialog and a third column in the UI where the scripts from the default folder would be displayed and could be loaded with a simple double click or something without the need for a OpenFileDialog. Of course, a button/menu entry to export/save to and load from to save and load to/from a location supplied by a file dialog (as it is now) should still be present.

 

2. When adding/modifying an effect, a preview would be great.

 

(3. This would require some work I think and I'm not sure if the usefulness would be worth the cost (development time): The Option to save a script to the effects menu (via dynamic assembly generation). And as the saved script would only show up in the menus after restarting paint.net, this could be irritating to users. (And adding it to the menu right away is not allowed))

 

edit: I actually forgot my most important suggestion: An option make a property value of numeric types relative to image properties such as width or height. Example of what I mean:

If I add an effect to a script while an image with the dimension 1000x1000 was open and choose the value for some integer property to be 10 and also select the proposed option to make this property to be relative to the image with, then this integer properties actual value would be set to 20 if the script is run on a different image of size 2000x2000.

I'm guessing the answer is no, since this seems to be closed source, but I'll aks anyway:

If you provided me with the source (indirect question), would I be allowed to make the changes myself and publish the modified version?

I don't now when, but I will be needing the mentioned functionality sometimes in the future as part of another plugin Im planning

[pyrochild]

1 - default script location and a list in the UI - Good idea

 

2 - dyanmic previews - Also a good idea. I think there was some reason it can't do this, but it's been a long time! I'll take a look.

 

3 - saving scripts to paint.net Effects menu - This is probably not gonna happen.

 

4 - effect properties relative to image properties - I don't think this would be possible without a major rewrite.

 

5 - open source - Maybe someday

Hello,

 

I have some trouble with ScriptLab : I can't use the effect Levels in ScriptLab. When I try to, the loading bar goes instantly to 2/3 and never moves.

Then I try to click "OK" or "Cancel" and Paint.NET have to restart everytime.

All the over effects I tried work instantly. I tried to wait several minutes, but without success.

 

I run the version : "paint.net v4.0.9 (Final 4.9.5848.30436)". (I tried with the older version v4.0.3, the same).

 

Does Levels work for other people ?

Thanks !

[pyrochild]

Updated

- Works with Levels effect

- Can script another ScriptLab instance. I don't know why you would want to do this, but now you can. Scriptception!

- Fixed progress bar not filling for certain effects like Red Eye Removal (effects using SingleRenderCall)

- Changes begin rendering as soon as the currently rendering effect can be cancelled instead of waiting for the whole script to render before starting over

- Fixed some crashes when moving/changing effects while rendering

- Cancel now cancels as soon as possible instead of waiting for the whole script to finish (or hanging Paint.NET...)

- OK no longer rerenders the whole script

- Fixed some load errors while loading scripts w/ missing effects

- Load/save errors now show detailed exceptions for easier troubleshooting

- Fixed color window showing alpha = 0 when a color is opaque black

- Misc performance improvements

[pyrochild]

Hello friends, I have for you a minor update to fix some major bugs:

- Fixed: Clicking in the Available list when there are no results for the search term would crash the plugin

- Fixed: Clicking Cancel while rendering would sometimes hang Paint.NET

Hooray
