Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I am creating a plugin, with the SDK, to load images: On linux it works fine, but apparantly, on windows I have to encapsulate my path-string with `'"'` (single-double-single-quotes) But! ..also, because on windows, I have to encapsulate my path with double-quotes first, (because of the `:`) I ...

Hi everyone, It is really cool that tvpaint can import a photoshop-file. However, I cannot find a way to do that with a george-command: tv_loadImage "psdfile.psd" tv_loadsequence "psdfile.psd" ..both result in an error. Is there a possible method for importing psd's through Georg...

Thanks!
Hopefully it gets implemented, as It would be a handy feature!

Is there George or SDK-method to see if a tvpaint-project has any unsaved changes? In some other programs they call an unsaved workfile, a 'dirty' workfile, or so.. I have searched, but I cannot find anything in the SDK or George-library. I need to do something like this: if (tv_project_has_unsaved_...

I want to use some custom made plugins for TVPaint. The only way I know to use them is to copy them into the TVPaint's pluginfolder. The plugins are not for every production so for us it would be more managable to be able to change an ENV-variable to let it point to the specific plugin-location. We ...

I tried the above code, but it crops the image instead of scaling it down to half the resolution. I think I should have asked more clearly that I was looking for a scaled down-export. But thanks for the code anyway, sure it will come in handy in th efuture! tv_resizepage has the same effect(crop ins...

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Looks exactly what I need.. We have our own routines for handling the separate layer-export so that will probably be fine.
I will implement this right away & will post about the results soon!

..to be continued..

Hello everyone..
maybe I am overlookign something, but is there a way to export an imagesequence in 50% of the original resolution?
I now use the "tv_SaveSequence" command, but it provides no such option..
I want to be able to do a quick check of a lot of exported layers(imagesequences)

Hello everyone, for our production I would like to automate the re-installing of a custom-panel that is saved as a .tvpx-file. We have a custom panel that we use as a palette-list. The reason we use a Custompanel for this, is because this provides a better interface for managing the large list of ch...

I found a way! In Linux, (on windows possibly too), one can create a FIFO, a named pipe that can act as a file(but is just a buffer ). With george it is possible to write text to it : tv_WriteTextFile "Append" /tmp/TVPAINT_FIFO "<functionname> <argument>" Now one only needs a pyt...

Would it also be possible, with this method, to run a shell-script on Linux system?

On a Linux-install I tried using the tv_runscript -command. But it only accepts "*.grg" files.
Everything else results in an error.

According to this thread: https://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=9281&p=85530&hilit=batch#p85530 .. it is possible to execute a batch-file with the windows-version of TVPaint. I could not get this to work when running a George-cmd thorugh the embedded-script-option.. But running:...

Hello TVPaint-Developers! for our current production I would like to have a GEORGE-command that can execute a python-script externally. This would give me the option to dynamically request data(through an intermediate/temporary textfile) for processing an export-batch of certain TVPaint-layers. Some...

I have a pythonscript that exports the animation of a list op TVPaint-projectfiles. When this script runs I want to be able to continue my other work in TVPaint, i.e. preparing TVPaint-projectfiles. Is it possible to run multiple instances of the program TVpaint? Now, when I run TVPaint and execute ...

IT WORKED!!!

I must hold my enthausiasm, but this is really cool!!
This really opens perspectives to save a lot of time.
Being able to automate lots of import/export/saving makes people happy!

Thanks for the great support Mike, and the rest of course!
