Simple Export Plugin

The Simple Export Plugin is a GIMP plugin that simplifies the process of exporting images. Currently, it only supports exporting as JPG. It uses default settings and avoids any dialogs, making the export process quick and efficient.

Features

• Exports the active image as a JPG file with default settings (Except quality is set to 100%).
• Automatically determines the save location based on the project directory and the active layer's name.

Installation

1. Ensure you have GIMP 3.0 installed.
2. Place the simple_export folder (NOTE: The python script must be nested inside a folder called simple_export or GIMP won't load it) in your GIMP plugins directory:
   • On Windows: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins
   • On Linux/Mac: ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plugins
3. (If on Linux/Mac) Make the script executable:

   chmod +x ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/simple_export/simple_export.py

Usage

1. Open an image in GIMP.
2. Navigate to File > Simple Export > Simple Export JPG.
3. The plugin will export the image as a JPG file:
   • It will use the project directory and the active layer's name.
   • The quality is set to 100%.
