:!gimp % doesnt open gimp on current picture?

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Hi!

vimiv seems to work vey well on my normal usage but I couldnt get it open current picture for edit.

:!gimp % did open gimp but it didnt have any picture showing.

Currently using archlinux sway vimiv 0.9.1-2

Could be cool to make own mappings to open pictures for editing etc.

Hi, thanks for your feedback!

How exactly did you run the command? I just installed the package from [community] and gimp opened the current image as expected, both from image and library mode.

Note that I am now mainly working on the qt version which will eventually replace this repository.

Hi!

Seems like wayland is just acting weirdly. I could use this quite well in i3wm. So this seems to work well.

But then I noticed that I couldn't map this on key e. Most likely its because of my lack of knowledge.

e: !gimp %

Do you have any tips on how to make this work?

Unfortunately that is not possible in this version and I won't be implementing any new features here. It should work in the qt port though which is slowly coming towards feature parity. I will make an AUR package for it soon ™️

In any case, you would have to escape the % in the form of %% as the % character is treated specialy by python's configparser.

Closing as this works in the Qt port as mentioned before. Hope this is still of some use for you and sorry for the version chaos, cleanup is on the way 😃
