Hi Wallace,

I also have a problem with the later via cut/copy plugin. I've installed following the instructions (in this folder: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins) and it seems to appear in my layer menu, but in cyrillic writing. Please see the first attachment for a screenshot

In addition everytime I try on of the options in cyrillic I get 2 errors. Please see the second attachment for a screenshot.

I've downloaded the cut/copy plugin from this website: slybug.deviantart ( I can't type the URL because my post looks somehow too spammy for a first user)

It's the first time I've been using GIMP so I might be doing something stupid, but I couldn't find this error somewhere else.

Thanks in advance,
Bram

There are a number of reasons why this might be happening.

This could be an old plug-in,
which may not be compatible with you version on Gimp.

Also,
the best place to install newly added scripts,
plug-ins, brushes etc.
Would be to place them into your Gimp User folders,
not into the Gimp Program folders.

In my opinion,
there doesn't really seem to be a need to have this plug-in anyway.
Gimp can already do what this plug-in does,
without the need to install a plug-in.

I also find it a useful plugin. I have attached my copy which I have been using up to v2.9.5 Just unzip it to the folder that Wallace mentioned. Hopefully it will help.
