Hello all, i've just created my first plugin and it needs some testing and constructive coments on how i can improve it... the plugin is called Text2Path and can be downloaded from the plugins page.

Thanks
Cleon.

oh... its not available to the public for download yet... i guess it has to be "approved" first?

I've activated the plugins because it seems good...

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this plugin works

I've made a slight modification to the plugin (v0.2 Alpha) and encluded a text file with simple usage instructions.

Fixed a bug where an empty line in the text would cause an error
Fixed a bug in the text rendering

Don't use 'C:\Program Files\PhotoFiltre\Selections\' in your code source but GetExePath + 'Selections'

Thanks Antonio.

I have updated the plugin again with the fix and also added a new feature:

Smooth - which smooths the path before rending the text

This plugin is very interesting

Would it be possible to add a preview ?

There is a small thumbnail preview on the plug-in form and one also on the image... check the location settings, the image preview may be hidden by the plugin form being in front of it. Is that what you mean?

plug-in updated again...

few bugs fixed
text renders around curves better
interface changed
and some other changes... for the better i hope

I don't find the small preview very practical and would prefer an image preview

because the automatic preview makes the computer freeze every 3 seconds...

First : Sorry for my English !!

This plugin is very nice !!
But, if the path is predefined (round, square, ...... first word misus) or bad file format, an error occured.

Would it be possible to add a verification function ?
and another to translate "predefined path" to "vector path" for use to this plugin
