Hi everyone, I installed Gimp version 2.10.4 and been familiarizing with this version. (I have not got the hang of it yet). But I installed the filter "PerspectiveShadowDN" and won't appear in Gimp. I place the gimp in the respective directory: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins in case you ask, but I don't see it anywhere on the menus. I believe a member here "dinasset" created it or updated this plugin. Need help please. Thank you in advanced.

It is a script perspective-shadow_DN.scm and goes in the scripts folder in your Gimp 2.10 profile. C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts.

Find it in Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Perspective(DN mod)

Gimp plugins are something.py or something.exe (+ associated something.dll) they are the ones to put in the plug-ins folder.

The one I'm referring is the one dinasset made with a Fade shadow py. Here is the link: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=...ive+shadow.

That is a python plugin and as you wrote earlier, you put it in the correct place
C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins but it does not show in the menu.

Unfortunately one of those plugins, nothing really wrong with it. It works in a linux Gimp 2.10.4 and Partha's Windows Gimp 2.10.4 but not with the 'flavour' of python incorporated into the gimp.org Gimp 2.10

There are bug reports on this issue, might get a Windows fix in the future

You could leave a PM either here or on GimpChat for dinasset. (might be on holiday)

Apart from that, not difficult to make your own bespoke faded perspective shadow.

A little bit about it here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Shadow...op-shadows

Thank you Rich for the tutorial. I know how to make it manually, but when I'm making a tutorial my self I like to use a faster way, I use a filter. I know there is another script "Advance Perspective Shadow.scm" from a member of Gimpchat  "Graechan". I used it in Gimp 2.8  before, but that is giving me this error in this new version: 
Error: ( : 1) eval: unbound variable: ADD-WHITE-MASK 

Thank you in advanced for taking the time to help

This one? http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9006

Working here in a Win10 gimp 2.10.4 (release 2) VM

There is a syntax change from ADD-WHITE-MASK to ADD-MASK-WHITE (line 108) but with Gimp 2.10 in compatibility mode should work anyway.

However, changed and attached (see later post), might work. unzip, pop in your Gimp profile scripts folder.

What version of Gimp-for-Windows are you using?

That is a bad cough you have there. Have you been to see a doctor.

Do not entirely agree with you. It is one thing fixing a plugin that is not actually broken. Much rather see the Gimp developers using less cutting edge libraries, using Debian testing for development (could be worse, could be unstable).

Amazing that some of these scripts work at all, some only work in Gimp 2.8 because of compatiblity mode, never mind Gimp 2.10

You might have a case for compiled applications where an update is released without any indication it replaces the previous version.

Ok Rich, the script is not giving me the " Error: ( : 1) eval: unbound variable: ADD-WHITE-MASK". Now the script is giving this error: "Error: ( : 1) eval: unbound variable: CUSTOM-MODE" after executing. Sorry for the inconvenience,
