Post subject:  Never had this problem--python plugins not posted in Partha [Solved]
GIMP Version: 2.8.10
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: Windows 7
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
Anything ending with *.py

List any ERROR messages you received:
none


Has anybody else had this problem?

I just did a clean install of Partha's Gimp 2.8.10; but for some reason it can't python plugins--not even the ones Partha included! They are "queried" every time I delete .pluginrc, but do not appear in the menus.

I tried running GIMP verbose: gimp-2.8.exe --v
but nothing is output. So I have no idea what's gone wrong.

Note I did install in a non-standard location: C:\Art Tools\GIMP-2.8 Would this affect anything?

OK, so I'm going to attach my .pluginrc file and see if anyone can help. I've already contacted Partha directly.

--v doesn't look right try this,
Code: Select all
--verbose

@Graechan

Because the path has space characters in it you need to enclose it in double quotes:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6.7\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" --verbose

@mechatherium

As you've used a non-standard location - you need to check where GIMP is looking for the plug-ins:

Edit>>Preferences>>Folders>>Plug-Ins

http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-pimpin ... fs-folders

Is gimp.2.8 --verbose supposed to return anything on the command line? All I see it doing is starting GIMP.

paynekj--it's set to look in
C:\Users\Tony\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins
C:\Art Tools\GIMP-2.8\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

In any case if it didn't know where the plugins were, it wouldn't run any of them, right? It's just not running python scripts--as if it didn't know where to look for python.

Does Partha frequent this board?

I don't even have Filters>>Python!

Just tested samj's portable build--Python-Fu is right on the top menu.

Unless I get an answer in a couple days, I'll uninstall Partha's build and use samj's.

I do believe it's best to email Partha directly. He has an email box at the bottom of his site, www.partha.com

Quick update--Partha has responded and he's as flummoxed as I am.

He wanted to know if I had Python installed anyplace else--I mentioned I downloaded his Inkscape and portable Blender, both of which have Python.

Do you have a file C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters\pygimp.interp ?

It contents should be something like:
Code: Select all
python=C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\pythonw.exe
/usr/bin/python=C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\pythonw.exe
:Python:E::py::python:


And of course you should have the corresponding executable (C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\pythonw.exe)

Yeah, I did. Partha and I worked it out.

It turned out that, since I installed GIMP as Administrator, I was locked out of pygimp.interp when I opened GIMP as User. Changing the permissions on pygimp.interp fixed everything.

Thanks, everybody!

I think you can just add (solved) to the thread title.
