- You definitely need Python support in Gimp, so first check if you have a a Filters ➤ Python-fu ➤ Console entry in the menu (bottom of Filters, next to Script-fu. If not, IIRC your distro has a gimp-python package that you can install with apt or your software manager.
- Once you have the Python support make sure that the .py file is marked executable
- If still no result, start Gimp in a terminal and watch for error messages
Thanks to rich2005 and Ofnuts for your replies. I do have python support for Gimp based on Filters menu test above. I marked the .py file as executable before moving it into the directory specified in the script instructions.
When I start GIMP from a terminal, I did get the following error message:
(gimp:16535): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 09:37:40.656: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'GeglConfig' has no property named 'cache-size'
I could try it in W10 or another linux distro if that might be helpful. I downloaded the flatpak for 2.10 but have not run it as I believed that I had to remove 2.08 first and wanted to see if anyone had a solution I did not know of. However, it seems that I am missing something more fundamental in my implementation.
An alternative for me would be any method to export the Measure info window values to a text or csv file with a key command instead of having to manually copy the info window number and paste it into a spreadsheet. If you know of any such function, please let me know.
Thx
