Quote:When I put ofn-text-along-path.py into /home/[username]/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ and restart gimp, I don't see anything when I right click the text layer and press text along path, it just does what it did before, no dialogue. Am I missing something?
Which version of linux and Gimp ?
Some now come without python2 support. No python = no python plugins
RE: ofn-text-along-path - dublUayaychtee - 03-12-2021
Garuda Linux, Gimp 2.10.22
I will see if i can install python2 if that will help unless if it is already installed

Gimp also needs a gimp-python package. Do you have a Filters -> Python-Fu menu entry ? That will show if Gimp python support is working.
Garuda Linux - based on Arch linux so I am no help there. Have you asked on a Arch forum ?
A quick search - looks like somebody made a package for Arch https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1892562#p1892562

ofn-text-along-path works differently.
Right click the path in the paths dialogue, then select Tools > Text along path

It's actually a change from between "text-along-path" (for 2.6) and ofn-text-along-path (for 2.8 onwards). Some functionality was only feasible in 2.6.

Updated the package on SourceForge. Just a small documentation update... no need to download again if you already figured out how to use the script.
