BIMP cannot find script - george.wonder - 09-08-2024
I want to combine BIMP with this script:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/ofn-difference-layer.zip/download
The plugin, as a standalone plugin, works perfectly for me (once installed it shows in the Layers menu). But I cannot find it anywhere inside BIMP, even under "Other GIMP procedures".
Any idea?

First an explanation of why the plugin does not show in BIMP "other gimp procedure"
BIMP has a list of reserved (excluded) terms that stop plugins showing. Examples, -print , -save and of course -layer.
You can edit Ofnuts plugin to remove -layer from the registration and it will show in "BIMP"

That does not mean that the plugin works as expected. BIMP uses saved/exported images and really expects a single layer. Not many (any?) of Ofnuts plugins work with BIMP.
It might work with the Gimp script-fu batch command line or if you describe the type of procedure you require, say background masking, then someone might have a solution.
