This release allows loading and saving GIMP presets/configs for layer effects/plug-ins, introduces more built-in color-related actions for convenience and improves usability of numeric arguments.
New features:
- You can now load presets for plug-ins and layer effects (custom actions) saved in GIMP. Conversely, you can save presets within Batcher and reuse them in GIMP.
- Added two new built-in actions for color correction:
Color BalanceandHue-Saturation(#111). These are equivalent to their corresponding GIMP tools and allow loading and saving presets. These actions are only available for GIMP 3.2 or later. Please note that using a non-default blend mode and opacity values below 100 may not produce the same results as the corresponding tools in GIMP. - Added the following new built-in actions for automatic color correction:
Equalize,Stretch Contrast,Stretch Contrast HSVandColor Enhance. These are equivalent to their corresponding GIMP tools (#141). - Added a new unit labeled
%*representing a percentage taken from the specified object (image or layer) and property (width, height, ...). This was originally the behavior of the%unit. To reduce visual clutter, the object and property are now displayed in a popover when choosing%*. The%unit is now only displayed for particular arguments in built-in actions where applicable. For example, the percentage for theWidthargument in theScaleaction is taken from the width of the object to be scaled (selected by theApply to (image or layer):argument). - Scale: Added options to scale only images/layers smaller/larger than the specified width and height, or custom width and height (#163).
- Added a setting to control whether the dialog for quick variants of Export Images and Export Layers is displayed. Previously, once you unchecked
Show this dialog, there was no way to restore the dialog unless you reset settings. This setting can be found underSettings → Preferences...(see below). - Added a setting to adjust the number of decimal places for numeric arguments. This allows you to increase numeric precision if needed. This setting can be found under
Settings → Preferences...(see below).
