This script paints evenly spaced brush strokes along a path.

Available at the usual place.
Enjoy.

I believe the page would be: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/
But I didn't find the ofn-brush-strokes-on-path there.

Whoops. Fixed

Nope, on gimp-tools, since the path is incidental here.

ok, I found it.
This is the third or fourth ofnuts script / plugin that I am the first to download!

Trying this (brush: clipboard from imported svg)
[attachment=4131]
and noticing the poor quality (making it indexed, if anything improved the image--less antialiasing), I used it as template for copies of the associated path, which gave:
[attachment=4132]
which I like better.
Question: would it be very difficult to script a 'path along path', on the line of 'text along path'?
And ... yes!--inkscape provides that function out of the box, among 'path effects'...

This script is about paintbrush strokes, with all their restrictions.
I have an unpublished script that does the path equivalent of Gimp's text-along-path, and likely uses the very same algorithm because it suffers from exactly the same problem: things are bluntly squished inside the bends and stretched outside. There are at least two footprints in your example that would be badly distorted. What you want is more like what my own text-along-path does: each character is rotated without distortion. That script could be a solution if:
- You find a Unicode character that looks like what you want (there is a "footprints" emoji)
- That character has the appropriate orientation (unfortunately, not in the default font)

I have just been playing with this plug-in. It is easy to set Strokes in multiples of 10 by clicking on the slider bar, but extremely difficult to change from, for example, 10 to 12. Other than that works well, a useful plug-in.

I have little control on the slider widget. If you have a wheel mouse, each tick of wheel adds/subtract two. And when the focus is on the slider, the left&right cursor keys add/subtract one. Would entering numbers be easier?
