Gimp Plugins installers for Win32
http://www.registry.gimp.org/node/24520

quoting the author:

Several Windows users think that installing Gimp plugins under Windows is hard.



As I was playing around with Inno Setup, I randomly chose these plugins, only because I had just a new Windows 32 compilation of them, and I release those first plugin installers without any warranty.

They should work on any Windows version, but I'm waiting for feedbacks.

A great benefit of an installer is that it easily installs localization files that several experienced users hardly can locate on Windows.

Another benefit is that you can uninstall everything, even the language files, or update the plugins easily. Please note that:

I didn't create any shortcut in the Start Menu, even for uninstallers. The uninstallers are available through Windows Add/Remove Programs feature. (For geeks: the uninstall executable is placed in c:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins\uninst\, so that if you install several plugins, you will see unins000.exe, unins0001.exe... but let Windows care about that. You can use CCleaner uninstall feature: it is faster).

Plugins are located in Documents and Settings\[user name]\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins\ of the system dir. If you want to change this path, Setup allows to do it manually. If you have a previous version of the same plugin in Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\, you should delete it.....





2 Importing ressources into Gimp
(below is just a summary, instrution to to set up the plugin are here:

This little scripts helps people who don’t have a good knowledge of their OS to import gimp ressource, like brushes, patterns, scripts, palettes… into the right gimp user directory. Unfortunately, this script isn’t auto-installed so let’s do the first effort. To use this plug-in, you just have to :

1. download import-ressources.py
2. paste it in the .gimp-2.6/plug-ins user folder (MacOS, Library/Application Support/Gimp/plug-ins seems better)
3. make it executable if necessary chmod +x
4. launch or relaunch Gimp
5. it should appear at the bottom of the Edit menu
6. 1 or 3 fields could be displayed in to window. 3 if there is no image open. But even in this case, just use the last and tell what to import by browsing your directories

This plug-in has been tested on Linux and Macs, but on Macs, it seems that default user gimp directory /Users/votrenom/.gimp-2.6 is not added in the default folders. You should do it to make this work by adding folders in the preferences categories.

tell if you find it useful or have trouble with it.

But to use this plugin if you use Windows you should first install the support for python...

that's very cool, if you open the plug-in before you start an image it asks you for one to import.


once you open or start an image it just asks to import a file.


but one question.i tried to import a brush, where does it import too?
i cant find the brush in my brush dialog after importing it.i tried refreshing brushes, still not there.
i assumed it imported directly into your tool tip (clip board), but no brush there either.

do i now have to restart Gimp to see the brush?

i am more than a little stumped. =\
