Hello,

I'm writing a script-fu for use in my office. The idea is to reduce the amount of steps the user needs to take in order to save an acquired screenshot to our website.
*
*The problem I am having is that I cannot seem to save a file to an smb:// type address. This is the error I get when testing:

*[error] *Could not open 'smb://ldad_images/screenshots/web-image.png' for writing: No such file or directory Error while executing
(script-fu-Send-to-Web 1 "smb://ldad_images/screenshots/" "web-image.png") ERROR: Procedural database execution failed: (file_png_save2 1 1 5 "smb://ldad_images/screenshots/web-image.png" "web-image.png" 1 9 0 0 0 1 1 0 0) *[/error]*

The script works just fine if I save the image to a local drive such as '/tmp/'.

Also, if I type this in a terminal:

nautilus smb://ldad_images/screenshots/

A file browser opens just fine into the shared 'screenshots' directory.

If saving to a network drive is not possible (such as smb://), is there some other trick I could use to get the image over there?

Suggestions would be helpful :-)

Here's the code I have thus far:

*[code] *(define
(script-fu-Send-to-Web Image Location Filename)
; the directory our file will be saved in (set! SRCFilename (string-append Location Filename))
; scale the image to our optimum web size (set! width (car (gimp-image-width Image))) (set! height (car (gimp-image-height Image))) (if (> width 470)
(begin
(set! newHeight (/ (* 470 height) width)) (gimp-image-scale Image 470 newHeight) (gimp-displays-flush)
)
)

; add a drop shadow
(set! drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable Image))) (script-fu-drop-shadow Image drawable 8.0 8.0 15.0 '(0 0 0) 80.0 TRUE) (gimp-displays-flush)

; save as png file to our www directory on ldad (or wherever the user indicated) (gimp-image-merge-visible-layers Image 0) (gimp-displays-flush)
(set! drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable Image))) (file-png-save2 RUN-NONINTERACTIVE Image drawable SRCFilename Filename 1 9 0 0 0 1 1 0 0) (gimp-displays-flush)

; Close out the image
(gimp-display-delete Image)

; Let user know it's online
(gimp-message "Cool! Your picture is online. You may now include it in a 'Top News of the Day' article.") )

; Register the function with the GIMP: (script-fu-register
"script-fu-Send-to-Web"
"/NWS/Send To Web"
