[Gimp-user] Installing GIMP plugins on a Widows 7 Machine
I have installed give the 2.8.2 portable onto a machine running Windows 7 professional. I have installed gimp onto a memory stick so that I can move it from machine to machine as required. The base installation works fine and I have no difficulties with that part of it. However when I tried to install plug-ins, I can't get them to work no matter where I install them. I have installed them in the location specified by the plug-in preferences c:\users\username\gimp portable\GIMPPortable\data\.gimp\plug-ins and c:\users\username\gimp portable\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins I have also copied them to in various obscure folders on the memory stick we gimp is installed eg Gimp Portable\GIMPPORTABLE\data\\.gimp\.geg-0.0\plug-ins based on instructions in online posts Do I have to do something in addition to copying them to the correct folder? So far, nothing works . All of the SCM files that came with the installation are installed in this folder Gimp Portable\GIMPPORTABLE\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\scripts Help please Thanks Peregrinus -- Peregrinus (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Bad information. >Do I have to do something in addition to copying them to the correct >folder? > No, with a caveat regarding compiled plug-ins. - Is the version, Gimp 2.8.20 rather than 2.8.2? If it is 2.8.2 I recommend dumping that and getting the latest, which is Gimp 2.8.22 Determine the location of the default scripts / plug-ins folders in the Gimp Preferences dialogue. In Gimp Edit -> Preferences -> Folders then the scripts or plug-ins entries. The plugins entry is shown in the attached screenshot. On your ***memory stick*** in the gimp installation, ***make two new folders*** GIMPPortable\Data\.gimp\plug-ins (note the '-') and GIMPPortable\Data\.gimp\scripts. The obvious: scripts - something.scm go in scripts see: attached screenshot. For plugins: something.py go in plug-ins For compiled plugins, something.exe / something.dll go in the same place but make sure you use **32 bit compiled** plugins. This portable Gimp is a 32 bit Windows application.
