Hi Molly

Yes, thats right, not only .py, but also ELF executables. You would need the source code
for compiling it. Maybe it does it with gimptool. I don't know. I use windows.

Hatti

Thank you anyway Hatti, I don't know how to do that so I guess I will have to sulk. lol

I took the whole code from iwarp, because, it is very good indeed and does what I want.
I just changed some things and gave it an other name, I don't know the license of all
that stuff, wheather it is allowed or not, so I just gave it to rod for testing.
But. Take the source from GIT or whatever, it is just one .c file, make the changes I described
above and compile it. You will get the same results.

I have iwarp under distorts but I do not have it in my plug-in folder. It is not under iwarp and it is not under plug-in-iwarp. It shows up when I go to help in gimp and click browse plug-ins, Why wouldn't it be in my folder in Fedora? This is crazy.

Hi Molly

There are at least two plugin folders. They can be seen by choosing "Edit/Preferences" (I hope, my gimp is german :-) ) in the tree "Folder/Plugins".
See there.
a) normally: "/usr/gimp-2.7.5/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins" or "/opt/gimp-2.7.5/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins"
b) other is "~/.gimp-2.7/plug-ins"
iwarp should be in a)

But this is not the source code, this is the executable in ELF format, ready compiled.

Thanks,
In Fedora, as far as I know there is only one plug-in , script, brushes, patterns, folder etc. I went into hidden files and I guess I will have to see if one the the Linux guys can help me find it. Where do I find the source file?

Hi.

You didn't ever manually load the source? Then I think you sadly will fail.
You have to load the source manually. Gimp uses GIT revision control system, so it's best to get
the sources with GIT.
IWarp depends on libgimp, you need these librarys, too. libgimp depends on cairo, gtk, pixbuff, etc.,
so you need all these libraries, too. All in all, you need a complete developing environment for gimp.
My help is ending here, it was a hard work to put all the dependencies for windows together, i don't know,
how to do it in Fedora. Sorry. Maybe it is much easier, because gimp was written for Linux.

Hatti

Thank you Hatti, I am just getting used to Linux Fedora myself, I still have Windows on a second hard drive. I will learn where everything is eventually, I did find two plug-ins in preferences but I haven't been able to view the files yet.
Anyway, thanks, in the mean time I will put that plug-in in my windows gimp.
