Nice work, Graechan. Your updates make for a better workflow. :hi5

GnuTux I tend to forget things easily which is why I made the mods
(you could delete the merge option if you like and have the script finish with a new layer above the original layer always)
all changes I made are easily identified with the "graechan" text

I like it fine with the updates you made. Another tag-team on that one. :hehe

I pasted the new script by Graechan and deleted the old. I copied the instructions and ran the selection on default. The only thing that happens is the selection turns off, it doesn't produce a new layer, As in my screenshot this is what it looks like before running the script. :gaah

My problem is that the python filter shows in the Gimp-2.8.10 menu but doesn't work. Even after making the name change. :ninja

The name change enables it be visible in the menus, so that's OK for you.

Please define what you mean by "doesn't work"
(sorry couldn't resist, we do it to everyone else who turns up here with similar pronouncements

)

It shows in the menus but doesn't run when selecting the menu item.

I believe though that if had actually taken the correct steps to run the filter it would have most likely worked. I was making a selection then running the filter when i should have copied first.

Your instrucs are correct Graechan but this one line was left out. I should have known that.

Select none is no longer required with Graechan's updates. Of course, you always have to copy (or cut) before you paste. :hehe

Well, I was half right, :oops:

anyway, nice work guys, you are quite a team. :roll:

I did it again and it works great for this. I selected the flower on the right, blurred it with the script and moved it over to the left to make it look more distant.

Updated work flow for using this script.,

1/ Create a selection of the area you want to Feather Paste
2) Copy (or cut)
3) Select destination image/layer
4/ Run Feather Paste
5/ Adjust your blur amount (click OK)
6/ Re-position your new layer and set mode and opacity as desired
7/ Optionally merge down

True, it's the "ã" that's the problem. I finally got the plug-in to appear in the Edit menu. Thanks.

To solve this puzzle I've done some investigations...

In the Preliminary investigations seem to show that it's a non-ascii character in the Author's name that is causing the problem - ã

BUT this is only when I save the version that Graechan pasted above. If I simply save the directly downloaded original it works correctly (and the offending character is represented by two different characters)
