- 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 haven't found a font in windows with a footprint: ¿is one there, Gimp-compatible? (Gimp balks at 'all icons' fonts)
Just looked up unicde reference for emojis at W3 Schools, and ... no feet.
So, the answer is
- stick to brushes, or
- go to inkscape?

"Footprints" is a standard emoji, with an assigned Unicode position. You should have it in your default font, especially if you see something here: ->?<- (yes this is a plain character, not a pasted image). This said, for other reasons it is unusable, because it is not just an outline, and the orientation is wrong.

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.
Gimp 2.10.18; Windows 10
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?
Also noticing the difficulty: personally, I would prefer numbers...
RE: ofn-brush-strokes-on-path - Ofnuts - 03-27-2020
A intermediate solution is to use a spinner, see attached examples script (Test>Test numbers). What do you think?
RE: ofn-brush-strokes-on-path - carmen - 03-27-2020
Just tested: for me (and my mouse) either stepped option works fine--more usable than the one in ofn-brush-strokes.
RE: ofn-brush-strokes-on-path - Ofnuts - 03-27-2020
OK, updated a new version with spinners instead of sliders. Enjoy.

If you want footprints, try this brush.
Standard Gimp, no plug-ins required.

Many thanks!

I tested brush footprints_01 with the Ofnuts script (brush strokes on path), but nothing happens. I thought it was because of the .gih type, but then I tested other .gih brushes and they all worked with the script.
Why in particular does this FootPrints_01_small brush produce nothing when executing the script?

Same snag here. Maybe due to:
Using manually the brush,
* it paints if the brush is dragged
* it doesn't pint if it's clicked--sparks, for example, paints both on clicking the brush and on using the plug-in
* normally stroking the path with the brush + emulate brush dinamics works, semi-transparent.
Issue with the brush dinamics??!!
