Post subject: | addonsCollectionManager use (PROBLEM SOLVED) |
GIMP Version: 2.10.36 Operating System: Windows GIMP Experience: User by many years List any relevant plug-ins or scripts: addonCollectionManager-3.0 List any ERROR messages you received: activating/deactivating not completing Today I had a surprise. I wanted to update my active resources under gimp 2.10.36 samj, using the addonsCollectionManager-3.0, as I did in all previous installations. Activating seems not to work (the function remains suspended/blocked and I have to close it). The details provided by samj when released inform that this version uses now QT6 (the previous used QT5). IDK if this change plays a role. Any help is appreciated. |

note: Gimp runs well with all tested plug-ins not requiring resources like patterns, etc; scripts are not working because it's a "resource" to be activated. I refer to plug-ins (in .python) and scripts (in .scm) additional to the standard set present in Gimp release itself. |

If someone has a similar environment (Windows 10, gimp 2.10.36, samj pack, use of addonsCollectionManager) could gently double-check whether it's only me or has the same problem? |

As you know I am a linux user and have used that plugin since it came out. I have plenty scripts only used occasionally, not worth cluttering up the menus permanently. I normally use an .ini file but without one. I was looking at the samj Gimp 2.10.36 for someone else so I still have it in a Win 10 (VirtualBox) Attachment: 01-addon.jpg [ 119.41 KiB | Viewed 1940 times ] I am sure you know all this, in the Preferences folder: There is the plugin, (1) With a scripts_storage folder (2) containing zipped scripts (3) Attachment: 02-addon.jpg [ 109.99 KiB | Viewed 1940 times ] ..and does it work - this the shape paths script Attachment: 03-addon.jpg [ 112.22 KiB | Viewed 1940 times ] Definitely not a given that it works first time, but it does work. I needed a couple of re-starts. First thing to try is delete the Preferences -> pluginrc file to force a re-scan of the plugins. It should not be necessary but you never know. Another one. If there is an existing .active file in the scripts_storage folder delete it. |

Since I started using samj's packs I used also ofnuts' addonCollectionMnager. Even if the location of my folders is different from yours, the logic is the same. At each new installation I reset all the .active filesx ..and does it work - this the shape paths script Attachment: 03-addon.jpg Definitely not a given that it works first time, but it does work. I needed a couple of re-starts. First thing to try is delete the Preferences -> pluginrc file to force a re-scan of the plugins. It should not be necessary but you never know. Another one. If there is an existing .active file in the scripts_storage folder delete it. Thanks a lot for your double-check and detailed info. This for me is the warranty that the problem lies in my setup. I did what I always did in my samj's packs installation (I always used them with the very useful ofnuts' aCM): - cleaned all .active files present in each resource type group - then added ofnuts' aCM into the new samj's pack plugins folder - started to re-activate those resources I need but clearly I did something wrong, because the activation of any single resource did not run (remained "appended"). So I wanted to be sure that in another user's envoronment similar to mine, thinks are going well. After your info I will re-check and re-do what I have to do in a better way. Thanks again. |

Thanks for the clarification, I had some doubt because of the new gimp+QT6, and I'm glad to know that aCM does not use QTn, hence it remains completely valid. As I said in my previos answer, I will double-check my steps. |

PROBLEM SOLVED, thanks I did change my way (to avoid repeating something wrong) and copied the resources active on the previous version into the new one. Tried also to add a new one: OK, it works. Thanks again for your help, Rich and Ofnuts. |
