On two separate hard drives, I run Gimp 2.6.11 In Linux Fedora and it works there perfectly. and in windows 7. I run gimp 2.6.11, and 2.7.

This sounds like a very interesting and worked-through plugin! Will check it out soon as time permits.

The plug-in works for you in Gimp-2.6, and Gimp-2.7 on Windows 7 Molly?

I've found it doesn't work on Windows XP and I've found one reason why:

In the register block, it's registering itself in a non-existent menu location:
"<Toolbox>/Windows/Book...",
Although it does actually appear under the Windows menu item, it just doesn't do anything if I click on it.

If I change Toolbox to Image, then I get a dialog box.

I've not tried it beyond that point and I can see definite potential for further Windows failure as there are Linux specific paths specified: '~/.thumbnails/large'

It doesn't even appear for me under the Windows item if i change the menu location to <Image>

If you're still interested, let's try a bit of diagnostics:

Open up the Python-Fu console (Filters/Python-Fu/Console...)
What version of Python does it report? (Mine reports Gimp 2.6.7 and Python 2.6.3)

Now let's see if your Python installation has all the required modules:
Into the Python console type each of these lines and make sure you don't get any errors:


If you don't get any errors, then I'm at the end of my suggestions.

I've installed GIMP on Windows 7 now, and got Python working, but I am stumped on one silly issue (or maybe it's just late).

On Linux, I generally run GIMP from the terminal, and any Python errors in my script will show up there. When I try to do the same on Windows, running gimp from the Command prompt, I don't get any errors showing up. How would I go about debugging my script under Windows?

Btw...I got GIMP Book to start, but it fails on generating thumbnails for a new book. It's probably something simple, like me using forward slashes, rather than os.path.join in the thumbnails path.

This sounds like just what I need If only GIMP's Text tool were a little better.

This is pretty cool plug. I'd like to try my hand at a comic strip or two. That kind of art is probably more in my wheel house, at least at this point, given my limited experience at hand drawn art.
