nicer guidelab arakne_guid_lav

[PKHG_old]

Busy with programingforschildren with Python  i need some pictures in GIMP with guides, OK, available , but
arakne_guide_lab is (wAS)in my opinion much more comfortabel ;-)
Now on a new pC with W11   and a GIMP installed this years version , I am not able to install it afredh.

On an older PC here the Gimp there can activate th guide_lab ,  used years ago

Found back  an arakne_guide_lab_zip  with (if rember correctly) contains all *.py files needed.

Tansferring them in the  new local plugin directory of my now used PC ,: no success.

Oh sorry, see:ing now : Add Attachmeent ( have tirst to copy the screenshot ot my pC)

Greets an have a nice day

It might just be a Windows 11 thing. I have in my archive what seems to be the Arakne guides lab that was modified into a single plugin with that painting option.

No chance me having a Win 11 VM,  so this is a Win10 VM / Gimp 2.10.38 and guidelab_paint.py (file size 78048 B)

Not something I normally use but it adds guides and does save / recover a set.  Just in case it is different to your version , guide_paint.py zipped and attached.
edit: Looking in the script, it is version 3.8

thanks a lot for your reply,

Nice to know that this may on some W11 this nicd guidelab is possible;

Now I need specialists , hwo can inform an old (now 82 grandfather)  with a lot of knowled about computers 
(Scracth, Algol, Lisp,Standrar Liisp, and much more).

This is a HP PC with more or less latest W11, and lastest Gimp.

At this moment my Gimp  uses the  SCM  guides  (working,) 
Aproblem may be : there seems to be a new Arakne... zip   but trying to download it my PC  syad  no, mtybe dangerous.

Does some know if ths warnign is not correct?

Luckily I have a linkt to this  https in an emacs org file (only a klick away)   
I had enabled to get a email adress  info (but nothong available), menaing happy with being emacs fan

Bye

If you did download over-there > https://www.arakne.es/en/gimp-python-plu...s-version/
Should be fine, thus a false positive from Microsoft Windows

did not understad exactly, gut guide_lav works,, in th e line above (straing fith Fle .. line of commandsO now GTK appears and a
klik starts the guide_lab.

And Peter is happy about this .

in c:/Users/Zbook/AppData/Roaming/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins:

In the plugin directory for my GIMP i have this file now:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Administrators Geen 78048 09-19 08:49 guidelab_paint.py which is probably the one which works for me now

Maybe this info is helpful:

c:/Users/Zbook/AppData/Roaming/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins:
total used in directory 118 available 145.4 GiB
drwxrwxrwx 1 Zbook Geen 8192 09-19 09:11 ..
drwxrwxrwx 1 Zbook Geen 4096 09-19 08:56 .
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Zbook Geen 14850 09-17 10:30 arakne_guide_lab.py
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Zbook Geen 14816 09-16 16:33 guide_lab_arakne.py
C -rw-rw-rw- 1 Administrators Geen 78048 09-19 08:49 guidelab_paint.py

As you can see , the lastline is th solution ...

If checked I will tel it here ;-)
