This was the last version of the follow-path plugin - version 5. It is tedious to use with latest Gimp, when you click in the interface an error message pops up and to change any parameter you have to constantly go back to the plugin UI. Then layers are in a group and probably in reverse order. Requires a bit of user interaction.

Edit: The attached is a "consolidated" version of the plugin from somewhere/sometime on Gimpchat (I think) I have disabled the autocrop function so the user now has to crop the sprite, which is on a separate layer, but makes it easier to use. Menu entry is right down bottom of the paths dialogue. -> Tools -> Follow Path
