Hi to all

The first question:

I've downloaded the new Filters Golden Mosaic etc. and put them in my py-plugins-folder, but there is no entry "Diego" in the filter-menu showing up! Where do I have to put them in?

I have a question to Erisian and AnMal:

Which fonts are u using for your Logo? Can u tell me the name of this fonts?

With best regards

Mareen

Hi, regarding the plug-in - that's not a G'MIC file but anyway are you sure you unzipped the file and did you restart Gimp?
I just downloaded it and "Diego" comes up on the Menu bar where it should be.

Edit: Also you need to unzip the 'Patterns used for GoldenMosaic' folder and place the jpg's you find there in your GIMP patterns folder.
The filter also needs the 'Stretch RGB colours' filter which is also obtainable from http://gimpscripts.com
Hope that helps.

Just checking -

1. Did you unzip the archive twice to end up with the .py
DIEGO_ARTISTIC_GoldenMosaic-2.zip -> DIEGO_ARTISTIC_GoldenMosaic.zip -> DIEGO_ARTISTIC_GoldenMosaic.py?

2. Is the python plugin in your Gimp profile ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins?

3. Did you make the plugin executable?

To answer your font questions

AnMal uses Lakmus:

Hi,

thank you for your answers! And for the fonts!

I'm using Ubuntu Studio 16.10 as OS, how can I make the py-plugins executable? I've put them in a py-plugin-folder in my personal folder of gimp 2.8. I can't find them in the procedure-browser of gimp!

I'm not an Ubuntu-Professional, so I would be thankful for your help!

Regards

Hi Cruella,
Easiest way is with your file manager. I'm using Thunar FM so it's right-click on file > Properties > Permissions >
tick the box 'Allow this file to run as a program'.
Cheers

That bit is a little concerning. Why do you have a py-plugin folder?

Questions.
Did you create this folder yourself? If so did you add the location of the py-plugin path?
Do you have a regular plugins folder in your Gimp profile ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plugins to check what locations are enabled.



This one I have an additional folder plugins-test that I added myself. If you do not have py-plugins showing then put any plugin binary or python in your Gimp profile ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins

Making it executable. This is kubuntu 16.04 but regular ubuntu will be similar.
Use your filemanager
Toggle hidden files alt+. (alt-dot) or use the view menu, show hidden files.
Find the plugin
Right click
Go to properties
Make sure the executable box is ticked.
example:

Hi,

I found a way to make the py-plugins executable!

I've cut them out of my py-plugins folder and put them in my home folder!

Then I've started a terminal and run this command for each plugin (for example for the Golden Mosaik plugin!):

chmod 755 DIEGO_ARTISTIC_GoldenMosaik.py

Then I've put them back in the py-plugin folder and restarted gimp. Now there is an entry "Diego"!

I created a py-plugin folder to seperate them from the normal gimp scripts.

Thanks for your help!

Love and Light

Cruella

Awaiting your outcomes, Cruella!
