Gimp plugins folder ? locked

[Alan Lacey]

Thank you both.

Well Rich I've just started up my ubuntu and Gimp again and miraculously your 2/3 image script is now there available and working!  I guess I not only needed to restart Gimp, but Ubuntu as well.  It's still the only one available in Gimp though, despite my few test scripts, but that's definitely a result.  All I need to do now is start scripting properly.

Ofnuts:  I'm very new to Linux, with the goal of being Microsoft and Apple Free by 2020, which is when MS stop supporting Win7.  So I don't yet understand how you would set up the two folders as you describe.  It does sound a good idea though, and I've made a note of it, so when I'm a little more proficient in Linux I'll be using your method.  There's still so much to learn.

Once again many thanks to both of you and now I need to delve into just why my scripts aren't there

Hmmm!  Not so fast sadly.

Rich I started by a simple modification to your 2/3 script, by just changing the parameters to 4/3 and all relevant entries.  Saved it alongside yours in the user plug-in folder, made sure it was executable.  And then NADA,  even after a Ubuntu restart. Weird or what?

main()


OKAY - got it It's the first register line needs to be renamed.  -  Onwards and upwards.
