Not condescending, other Gimp users will maybe want to use this plugin and come across this thread, some useful pointers like using the Gimp 2.10 search function. I went out of my way to make that video using Windows, I am hurt, only joking
Ok. You have installation down pat, Quote:I've done all that, and thought I clearly explained what the situation is, I guess that has not been understood.
basically for some unknown reason gimp is not recognizing and loading the plugin.
There can be reasons for a python plugin not loading,
In linux the gimp-python module might be missing or the plugin not executable.
It will be there for Windows. Sometimes a user will put a zip straight into plug-ins instead of unpacking first. Sometimes the path to the plugins folder gets erased, not in your case, I see the screenshot.
Up to you as a user to check, try other python plugin and see if it works. There are one or two built into Gimp, see if Filters -> Web -> Slice shows up.
The next step is running Gimp from a terminal to see if / what error messages occur and if you see anything, copy and post it here.
When it gets to the stage of never-working-for-you then might be the time to suggest other methods. The vector editing application Inkscape has tools to put text along a path. Either the whole project using Inkscape, or just the text and import the svg into Gimp.
