Deskew does nothing?
Opened this issue · 4 comments
This isn't really an issue with DivideScannedImages, but I find that the deskew plugin (as linked, for Windows) when either run through DivideScannedImages or on its own does nothing. For me, it seems broken. I'm going to try on linux next.
There is a call for gimp-deskew-plugin in the SCM which isn't currently maintained.
Perhaps gimp-deskew-plugin was more available in the past presently
I can find no instructions for installing it in Windows and in Linux
it isn't packaged and needs to be compiled in Linux the source dating
8 years ago.

I've found no instructions for installing the plugin in Windows,
and otherwise can see no call for it inside of the SCM that would make it
work.
I have found installers for Windows, but it doesn't seem to work even outside of DivideScannedImages.
Can an SCM call external commands? I could reroute it to a batch I wrote that successfully deskews my set using ImageMagick.
It's kind of funny, deskew in Gimp won't deskew, and autocrop in ImageMagick won't autocrop. Together, I think I have what I need.

Wished I knew the answer, if this plug-in could be ported to Python plugins for for Gimp it would not be a question.
32 bit version of deskew.exe worked for me (win11, gimp 2.10.34). Found it here:

Maybe it should be embedded in this repo besides 64bit version (which doesn't work for me).
