Editing border tool settings

Hi folks, I'm looking for information on how to edit the settings for the Filters/Decor/Add Border. I'd love to set this to a 2 px border in black rather then the bright blue 25 px border.

I'm using Gimp 2.6 on a Mac running 10.6 and would like to know how to edit the filter.

Thanks for your time, John

When I use this filter (also gimp 2.6), I get a dialog box where can just click and enter a border width or change color, e.g.: http://bildr.no/image/975292.jpeg

Does that not work?

Yes I do get the dialog box but I do a lot of photos that are all the same and would like to change the settings to default to 2 x 2 in black. Not sure who would use a 25 px border in bright blue to begin with. In a previous version I'd changed a file, not sure if it was a script or something else, to make the changes and can't seem to do the same in the 2.6 version. Or maybe I'm just looking to know where this file would be located to edit it.

Thanks, John

Is there a particular reason you don't use "Filters > Re-show" command within one session?

The file is called addborder.scm

Either use Filters->Repeat "add Border" or

find addborder.scm and edit it to suit, though I wouldn't really recommend going this way.

Editing border tool settings

Thank you all for your help and patience. Found the file in the hidden tmp directory.

Must be a pet peeve, I do custom leather work and always email a photo of the pieces to customers when I ship them. So everyday I crop and border photos and knew there was a way to set the default to what I had to manually enter each and everyday.

Thanks again for your time, John

Ah. Try putting http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/476313/ into your ~/.gimp-2.6/scripts folder and run Filters->Script-fu->Update, this should give you an 'Add Border2' script with different defaults.

For extra educational value, the changes I did are shown in this diff: http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/476314/

HTH,
