GIMP Version: 2.8.22 Operating System: Windows GIMP Experience: Experienced User List any relevant plug-ins or scripts: ofnuts Addon Manager I have two versions of Gimp on my machine, uninstalled and re-installed everything yesterday. Got everything back to working, the only thing that is not behaving is ofnuts Addon Manager in 2.8. It just doesnt show up in my right-click menu. I tried: deleting the gimp user folder downloading the latest version of the Addon Manager plug-in deleting the addonCollectionManager text file that is in the user folder telling Gimp in the Preferences where to look for the folders Any ideas how i can fix this ? |

Attachment: addonCollectionManager-3.0.py.zip I have V.3 from ofnuts sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-t ... s/scripts/ It must be something else. I have the folders correct. I have deleted all .active files. Its still not showing up. This textfile i have in my user folder called addonCollectionManager.log, is that like an error log file ? It says: addonCollectionManager.ini not found or not readable: [Errno 2] No such file or director What does that mean ?? |

It means you are running Windows and it needs that .ini file. Do your other python scripts show up? Maybe you don't have Gimp Python installed? |

Indeed, they are all not showing up. How comes i have all my python plug-ins in Gimp 2.10 working but not in 2.8 ?? How do i install python for 2.8 ? I never had to do that in the past. It always worked without it. |

Gimp-2.8.22 includes Python (from gimp.org). I made corrections (from gimpfu import *) for it to work:

I uninstalled 2.8, then re-installed, now its working as expected  I dont know what did the trick, the python install or if i perhaps accidentally unticked the python option in the installationprocess.... EDIT: oh, i spoke too soon, now 2.10 is borked, missing some dll and wont start anymore. Also its gone from windows Uninstall dialogue.

By default, Gimp-2.8 and Gimp-2.10 install in the same directory c:\Program Files\GIMP 2\ so you need to install 2.10 (and rename - Gimp-2.10.22) - more details: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-major ... 5#pid17955 For Gimp-2.8.22 I had to edit addonCollectionManager-3.0.py in notepad. Moving the "from gimpfu import * " line up (from 37 to 34). |

But win7 recognizes only one Gimp at a time in the Programs uninstall dialogue, no matter what its called. Got it all fixed and working by now, but that was lot of sweat and tears. |

Yes, Windows will recognize the last you GIMP you install, either Version 2.8 or 2.10. One you be able to use Windows for uninstalling and the other you will have to go to the "Uninstall" folder in the "Program/GIMP 2". |

Gimp will un-install an existing gimp and if it finds registry entries of a previous installation it by-passes the 'install here' dialog. Various ways to proceed, depends what is installed first. Some notes on editing the Windows registry to fool Gimp installer into thinking it is a new install. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-IS-th ... 52#pid9852 |
