Quickie plugin to add a "Show in Finder" to the image window file menu.

Contents

Download

Source and binary (compiled against Fink unstable's gimp2 package): macfile-gimp-0.1.tar.gz


Installation

The distribution tarball includes source and a binary (compiled with Fink on Panther). The binary may or may not work for you.

Compiling the plugin requires that you have the Developer Tools installed and have either installed Gimp from source or have installed the dev package with the necessary header files.

To compile & install into ~/.gimp-2.0/plug-ins:

 make install

To compile only:

 make


Use

A menu item "Show in Finder" is added to the File menu on Gimp image windows. Select it and marvel as Finder opens up a window and shows you the file.


Version history

Version 0.1, 2004-07-16

  • Seems to work with non-ASCII chars, but haven't tested it thoroughly.
  • Not sure of a way to gray out the item on new/untitled images.
  • [gimp 2.1] The menu item is below 'Quit', which is kind of annoying.
