Script to copy a layer along a path - Ofnuts - 03-07-2018

Is there a script to copy a layer at regular positions along a path (or should I write one Smile)

RE: Script to copy a layer along a path - Espermaschine - 03-07-2018

stroke the path with a clipboard brush ?

This is not showing up in the paths tab menu in 2.10.2 (I've got 'follow-path5.py')..

Does not work with Windows Gimp 2.10.2 from http://www.gimp.org.

Are you using that gimp version?

Yes, sorry got the decimal point in wrong place.. anyway it's usually in the Tools sub-menu as you know, but nothing now, can anything be done I wonder?

Also, another Arakne plug-in "Path-shape-creator" is not showing up under Filters>..

Since these scripts seem to have their own PyGTK interface, this is possibly the same import order problem as this?

I'm guessing so.. 'import os, sys, gtk, random..', the next line has 'from gimpfu3 import * ' no idea if that has relevance. (Obviously gimpfu3.py is in the plugins folder too)
I'll just use 'View > Snap to Active Path' for now - more work involved and less accurate but it'll do Smile

You can contact the author and get it fixed (there may even be a fixed version already in the works)

Arakne has not done anything "gimp" since 2015. http://www.arakne.es/en/category/dessign/gimp/ I would consider these plugins abandoned.

Both follow-path and shape-creator are broken in the current Windows Gimp 2.10.2 from gimp.org Partha released his Gimp 2.10.2 yesterday http://www.partha.com and the plugins work there (follow-path throws up an error but works)

follow-path and shape-creator work in my gimp 2.10.2 flatpak and from memory work in the Windows gimp 2.10.0 from gimp.org

What are the connections/differences? Linux, Partha, Win Gimp 2.10.0 all 64 bit and use an earlier version of python.
The gimp.org Windows 2.10.2 with support for 32 bit plugins, uses 32 bit python 2.7.15 that came out 1 month ago.

Got to be that 32 bit python.

Back to the original question from Ofnuts

Might not be a bad idea.

edit:
Looks like this problem
