C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\...

That is a Windows 'hidden folder' see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...windows-10

Much is different in the Gimp scripts & plugins code but Gimp 2.10 runs in a 'legacy' mode so your Gimp 2.8 scripts and plugins will generally work.

The old registry.gimp.org site has been closed for a long time now, although often referenced in old Gimp web pages. There is a archive here: https://github.com/pixlsus/registry.gimp.org_static

Some of the old scripts have been updated here: http://www.gimphelp.org/

If you want a good Gimp 2.10 manual (English or Italian) in PDF format: http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/

Otherwise, if you can not find a script/plugin, just ask. There might be a newer better equivalent.

Quote:2 of my old favorites were smart sharpening and Lasm's Lab wow color script

I shall have a look around

edit: hmm..this one http://www.gimphelp.org/sharpness_sharpe...arpen.html

edit2: Amazing, ancient and seems to work (well sometimes ): https://github.com/bzed/gimp-plugin-regi...ab-wow.scm that goes in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts

Reminded me to recommend a modern plugin that comes with 500+ filters of all sorts, plenty of effects like that. http://www.gmic.eu There is an installer, just use that.

Thanx so very much, I will explore these links. I already have Gmic up and running, use it a lot. It does not contain smart sharpening that is called that. Smart sharp is so nice because it does not sharpen the noise like a straight USM does.  Finding the file folders has been a huge headache also, so thanx for that too. Makes me wonder if MSFT and Adobe are in cahoots trying to discourage  GIMP users, rotten rascals!!! LOL!!!
