just curious, is the new version 3.0 that is listed here or is it 5.3, which is on gimpscripts.net?

On gimpscript.net you can download only the latest version

Thanks.

Hi PixLab - I tested MrQ BoxText on my MX LInux and it was missing some libs. I repacked and uploaded it to HERE.

MrQ's latest BoxText plugin from gimpscripts works with 'gimp-python2-fuse-overlay-launcher-mx-linux21-1.AppImage'
You will notice it's slightly bigger

but has the same filename.

Hi Tas_mania,
I downloaded and replaced it, and still the BoxText not showing up :oops:

Anything I can help to solve this?
Thanks

Hi Patrice, I have not tested Gimp 2.10.32 on my MX.

This will tell you why from a terminal where the appimage is located:
./gimp-python2-fuse-overlay-launcher-mx-linux21-1.Appimage --verbose
You can interrupt it before the Gimp window opens with Ctrl + z
Then you will see if or why the wire read failed.

If it crashes when MrQ's Text Box opens an explanation will be in the terminal (probably)

MrQ's don't crash, it just don't appear in the menu

Hi PixLab,
This is the error you got on BoxText:

I don't have any ideas on this so sorry.

Looks like a problem in your Python 2.7 and OpenSSL installs. In a command prompt, if you do:

Code: Select all

>python2.7
>>> import random
>>> exit()

Do you get:

Code: Select all

>python2.7
Python 2.7.18 (default, Jul  1 2022, 12:27:04) 
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import random
>>> exit()

Or do you see errors?

In case you have errors, it is probably a problem with your distribution (see this), because you have incompatible Python modules (random shouldn't be using a keyword arg which isn't in the hashlib module).

Hi ofnuts.
Python 2.7 is running inside an appimage not from the OS. The appimage loads whatever Gimp has been installed. At first I thought this was a mistake but then realized it has advantages. Getting it to work on MXLinux was interesting

It has loaded the default Gimp that came with the install and python2 scripts work including MrQBoxText and python console.
'Random' seems to be working OK.

I use a script that makes appimages relatively easy but I made the mistake of thinking libs are in the appimage when really they are in the OS. I just did a clean minimal install of Xubuntu and discovered my early appimages don't load some stuff. I'm fixing that now. Also the appimage needs to carry all the python2 when there is no python2 in the OS.

Tas, your appimage works great here loading the PPA version of Gimp. I removed Python 2 from my system and your appimage loads Python 2 needed for Python scripts just fine. I also have no problem running the MrQ BoxText script here in Linux Mint 20.3.

MXlinux is based on Debian, so I guess things are a bit different.

Hi racer-x
I'm happy it's working. Overlay and fuse-overlay are the two appimages I will keep. Ubuntu-based distros have overlay support in the kernel but the rest need to install fuse-overlayfs. The reason MathMap is included is because it calls Gimp. I made Gimp a requirement not a dependency, so instead of including Gimp it just looks for it

I found "sudo apt install gcc" was needed on this bare-bones system. There is no telling what is included or excluded from most distros today

This looks like an OpenSSL incompatibility somewhere.

Users with working Python can try the new Ver.6.0.
Who likes ofn-gradient-along-path now has a 'Preview' option.

I got this
for python2 I knew it (not installed as I pass by Tas_mania appimage), but "import random" what is that? :shock:

OK, how to solve it? this would be only with GIMP 2.10.32 and not with GIMP 2.10.28
I explain
I did removed GIMP 2.10.32 that I installed from the test repo, and reinstalled GIMP 2.10.28 instead (from "Popular" in the repo) and everything is working fine now with your appimage even the MareroQ plugins as well
(although I like that they did put back the visual references in the layers/channel/path dialogs in the GIMP 2.10.32)

In all case thanks a lot Tas_mania / Ofnuts and MareroQ :bigthup

Hi PixLab thanks for being a tester of the Gimp appimages

in the Python-fu console >>import random (it leaves no message)
I recon you found Gimp 2.10.32 here.

I may test it sometime.

Thanks for getting me trying MX, it's fast on old hardware like my test boxes. I could move over to it for graphics.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not yet?

Took me a few minutes to figure out why the second time i opened the filter there was no preview check box. LOL

Excellent plug-in folks!

Lots of fun with this one. In my opinion this should be included in each new stable Gimp release.

The initial (startup) window size is different for each plugin with a preview in the individually built-in fu-preview (so that the user does not have to install it additionally and that plugins without a preview work without any changes).
Is this also the case for version 6.0? (I increased the height of the window a little).
This can be easily adjusted to the size of your own screen by editing only 2 lines:
mainly:

Code: Select all

dialog.set_default_size (1150, 680)

and as an auxiliary:

Code: Select all

dialog.la_previ.set_size_request (512,512)

Cool! I'll try that and thanks. And i believe i have version 6 installed.
