Hi Gimp-user,

Didn't see it in the manual, but was wondering if there is a short-cut to adding multiple Guides at once (ie., a comma-separated list)?

It seems difficult to imagine anything faster than the Gimp-python console for this:

image = gimp.image_list()[0] # get the latest loaded image

for y in (10,20,60,80, 120, 140, 260, 280): pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide (image, y)

It should be possible to make a Script-Fu which accepts a list of coordinates (space separated) and does something similar to the loop above.
However, I don't know how; I only know how to implement that in Python:

# assuming 'coords' is the string parameter containing space-separated coordinates
realcoords = [int(v) for v in coords.split()] for y in realcoords:
pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide (image, y)

Adding an option to choose between adding h and v guides should also be easy.

David There is a gimp plugin called multiple guides (python) and appears to be in german but it will allow you to add multiple guides. I tried to access the link but it seems that gimpl plugin registry is down at the moment.

------------------------------

latest added image in script-fu is

(vector-ref (cadr (gimp-image-list)) 0)

so a one-off would be

(map (lambda (guide)
(gimp-image-add-hguide (vector-ref (cadr (gimp-image-list)) 0) guide)) '(10 230))

I do not know how to get the /active/ image though....

... but here's a script
