- What's the plugin called?

Some time ago I reinstalled GIMP and forgot to reinstall a particular plugin and I really can't remember what it was called. I've attached a typical result. As I recall it generated multiple drafts in a 3*3 format from which to select full outcomes - I loved it!
Any idea what it was called?

I seem to remember it produced something in the Filters drop down as a separate menu item. I'll attach another example

I think that it's a Diego's script named Abstract Art.

I think Issabella is right. Works in 2.10, no wonder as it is .py plug-in.

For anyone on Windows 10 or maybe versions, to use the plugin provided above, you have to add the Python initiation string as the first line in a python script/plugin file:
#!/usr/bin/env python
Open the python file in a text editor.
Copy & paste the initialization line above as the first line in the python file. OR:
Delete the entire '''comment section''' (enclosed in three apostrophes) down to the initialization string that already appears in the python file. It doesn't appear to matter if the string appears twice in the file, but it has to be the first line. I prefer the first option as the comments are always valuable.
Generally speaking, a number of Diego's vintage scripts start with a '''comment section''' instead of the python initialization string. In some computer setups it makes no difference but in Windows not having the initialization string as the initialization line will keep the script from loading. Although he has recently updated a number of these, GIMP users are likely to come across the older versions which under current Windows will need this tweak to work.
Diego has created a number of scripts/plugins that allow users to take advantage of GIMP's often obscured artistic image transformations. The stunning and clearly memorable results and the further-possibility-provoking responses very often draw and then keep new users.
