Does Filter Pack still exist? I ask because it's not showing up in Gimp 2.10.6 when I open the program, but it exists in my program files:

It also exists in the gimp procedure browser:

You're right, Mackenzieh; it use to be in the Color drop down; it's no longer there. Not sure why it was removed. :)

Hey Lyle, I'm glad it's not just me who sees this. For me it was in Filters>Decor .. now it's removed. I loved that filter.

It came up, but there should be an easier way to get to it without having to search for it in the commands.

The search facility is a great tool for those little used gimp tools. Saves having to open the plugin browser in Help to find their location.

There will be a reason filter-pack is no longer in the menu, probably a bit flakey due to the new layer/color modes. Possibly still included as a dependency for some other filter.

It has been mentioned before, to get the menu entry back, take the Gimp 2.8 plugin and add it to Gimp 2.10

To save any misunderstandings, filter-pack.exe is zipped and attached.
Unzip it and add to your Gimp 2.10 profile. C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

Where to find in the menu structure? Bottom of the Colours menu.

I'm glad it's not listed in the Filter list. No sense cluttering up the list with such a old and useless filter......

Ahh; they did the same for filter back as they did small tile. Why?

Is there a quick and dirty way to create shortcuts for these now hidden gems? Just curious. :)

Post subject:  Re: Filter Pack?

Lyle,
you may try this small "caller".
It register itself under "Extras", but if you like it and you want to change the Menu, just tell me.

Note: similar "callers" may be derived for other hidden old filters.

;This Script Fu is meant to call Filter Pack (for Lyle)

(define (script-fu-call-filter-pack img drw)
      
   (plug-in-filter-pack RUN-INTERACTIVE img drw)

)


(script-fu-register
    "script-fu-call-filter-pack"
    "<Image>/Extras/Call Filter Pack..."
    "Call Filter Pack plug-in."
    "DN"
    "DN"
    "2018"
    "RGB*"
    SF-IMAGE      "The Image"           0
    SF-DRAWABLE   "The Layer"           0

)

Get the following error, Diego. That said, I suppose a similar mechanism can be used for small tile. Anyway, not a coder; just no desire for it. lol

That is the name of the filter.
Has it been placed into the folder for the user scripts?
I have as you know samj's portable 2.10.6 and it works

Can someone else double-check it?

Post subject:  Re: Filter Pack?

Remember, it's not a plug-in, it's a scheme script.

Post subject:  Re: Filter Pack?

i.e you have to store it as "call_filter_pack.scm" under scripts

Author:  dinasset [ Thu Sep 20, 2018 1:34 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Filter Pack?

this is the filter as a unit to place under scripts:

Your Script-fu worked, Diego. Completely forgot about the name issue (it's been a while since I did anything like copy paste in text file and named a Script-fu accordingly. I knew this, but again, forgot. lol

I'll look at your script and add small tiles this way too. Thanks a heap. :)
