wasn't the task to simply list a maximum of 5 plugins that we really like and the rule was we couldn't list what others had already listed? and it was never a question of getting the plugins into the official gimp builds, just to sort the best ones into a neat little bunch that rod kindly offered to pack up for any new gc members - or did i get it all wrong now?
my favorite picks have already been listed, but i also think one of the "add multiple guides" plugins could be useful, like the guides set plugin from GAT-tools.
Thank you Anmal.

It seems this got way off topic of what i meant didn't it? I never said i wanted to ask anyone to add these to any installer i merely suggested we pick 25 or so of the ones we all use and know are valuable to Gimp.Then i will take the ones we vote on and make a simple easy package for NEWCOMERS to throw in their Gimp.Along with easy to follow instructions on all their uses.
Most of us here have used these plugins, know where to get them and things like this.I think putting one together like this will help out NEWCOMERS to Gimp to see the even more potential Gimp offers with third party plug-ins.
Never EVER did i say lets make or tell or request the Gimp devs to add them to the official installer.
I really do not know how this got so far off topic.I apologize if it was something i posted.
EDIT: TOPIC header fixed

Yup; your fault Rod. lololol
