Thanks, Rich. I'm not new to computers, but as you said, I'm very new to GIMP.
I had already installed the G'MI-qt plugins about a week ago. Quite a bunch of filters. As you indicated, they install under "App Data/Roaming".
Depending on weather I install GIMP for all users or just myself, GIMP files will wind up either under Program Files or under my user name/App Data/Roaming. This is understandable.
I'm familiar with the scripts and python folders. I experimented with moving some external dlls to those folders just to see what happens. Obviously nothing did.
Yes, "Cartoon" does show up in the GIMP filter menu. But apparently others in the plugins folder and in the python folder do not seem to...unless they are listed under a different name in the GIMP filter menu. Some examples would be Colorify, Guillotine and numerous others.
Can I assume that the executable files in the GIMP plugin folder are the actual GIMP plugins themselves? I'm simply trying to understand.
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.
