After changing everything is 2xOK!
It works in ubuntu and windows too.
Many thanks for all of your scripts.

This works for Gimp-2.7 versions.

OK, updated Sourceforge with version 0.1...

Thanks Ofnuts! Great script.

Yours is perfect pogogogo

I deleted the 0.0 plug-in after playing with it for days and I am now trying the 0.1 from source forge.
So far, this is as far as I got with it. In the paths dialog, every letter is on a different layer and some of them are faded and unreadable. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Would someone who is having good luck, like pogogogo...anyone do a screen shot of the text-along-path screen so I can see what settings you used.
Also, how do I stroke the path with a color if they are all on different layers?
Thanks in advance.

You must have used "Yes" to "Keep character paths" (as well as to "Keep upright"). This isn't necessary, a complete path for the whole string is always produced (it should be at the bottom of your paths list...). Actually, since you haven't clicked on the eye icons on the paths in the paths list, what you see there is the "master" path.

The "faint" characters may be due to overlapping paths with previous attempts

There is an option to leave individual character paths in because it can be useful at times (want to use different colors, or fix selections where characters overlap).

Start with the defaults (besides text/font, which are mandatory))...

Ofnuts - Golden Spiral, path-mirror and path-spread all show up in my plugin browser, this is the only one that doesn't. Is there anything at all that you did with those that you forgot with this one? Could it have anything to do with my insistence on sticking to 2.6.11?

It is displays fine in both my python-fu and script-fu browsers. If it doesn't show up on your setup it is likely because it didn't register properly due to som execution/syntax error, but then this normally produces messages visible if you start gimp with gimp-console. Did you at least upgrade to version 0.1?

You can check that the file didn't get damaged by starting a command prompt, navigating to your plugin directory, and run (assuming your python interpreter has a "python" executable of course):

This should answer something like:

This error is normal, "gimpfu" in only defined when running as a Gimp plugin, but the Gimpfu module is loaded only after the file has been parsed and found to not contain any syntax errors. So if it shows up the file is clean.
