Post subject:  Gimpscripter plug in for 2.10?
Hello all, I'm a new programmer and somewhat experienced GIMP user. After doing some research into Python Fu I was excited to read about this Gimpscripter plug-in. But when I install it, it shows up in the filter bar - I click on it - nothing happens. I can't seem to figure out if I've installed it wrong or if this plug-in doesn't work on 2.10.

Has anyone here used Gimpscripter on GIMP 2.10?
Any tips on why the plug-in might show up but the GUI isn't showing up?

I've extracted the Gimpscripter files like this
AppData
Roaming
GIMP
2.10
plug-ins
Gimpscripter.py
Gimpscripter(Folder)
gui(Folder)
mockmenu(Folder)
Doc(Folder)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You might need to install it globally as it seems to be the case over there viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5299&start=10
I have no idea what's the path on the Microsoft's Windows to do put this script globally, on Linux it would be /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins, have a look in the "Edit > Preferences/Folders/Plug-ins" in GIMP to find out (see if you have a path with the folder "2.0").

Actually the code will only work from the "user" plugin folders (from which it reads bits of runtime code for the script it generates).

Otherwise it appears that it won't run on WIndows (and I wonder if it ever did(*), given that the installation instructions are only for Linux).

(*) Possibly requires some more external Linuxish stuff to be installed on Windows

The author created it in 2011 and never updated again.
The site talks about Gimp 2.6.

We are now in 2023, and the Gimp version 2.10.32.

Who knows why things have changed a lot... and many "ancient" scripts don't work anymore.


Well, it still works... on Linux.

Older multipart plug-ins have a problem on Windows.
However, it can be fixed.

However, I am undecided to provide a modified gimpsripter as there is a better solution.
A newer equivalent of Gimpscripter (as well as BIMP) is Export Layers https://github.com/kamilburda/gimp-export-layers with many possibilities: e.g. frequently updated, comprehensive manual, preview, the ability to change the order of settings and re-edit Custom Procedure, saving settings and much more.
