GIMP Version: 3.2.4
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 10
GIMP Experience: Basic Level
URL or Image link: https://ibb.co/Dfzw8V1q

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
ofn-path-to-shape



I'm trying to use the plugin ofn-path-to-shape from Ofnut's Gimp path tools Files, but the tool doesn't show up in gimp. It's supposed to show up when you right click on the "paths" list, but it's nowhere to be found.

I installed it in the correct path (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.2\plug-ins), I restarted Gimp, restarted the whole computer, the python-fu console is showing up under filters, so that seems to work correctly. But it's not showing up in the right click menu, and it's not showing up in the plugin browser either. What the heck am I doing wrong?

That's probably a script for GIMP 2.10.
It won't work for GIMP 3 unless rewritten.

Hello and welcome to Gimp Chat.
You can most likely contact Ofnuts here https://www.gimp-forum.net/
He doesn't visit here very often anymore.
Perhaps he could be persuaded to rewrite it, but i wouldn't get my hopes up. :)

As an alternative there is the Gimp 3.2 version of arakne path-shape-creator.
see viewtopic.php?f=33&t=22100
The latest version here: https://www.arakne.es/wp-content/upload ... -07-02.zip

Just a note, if you have Inkscape installed, very easy to copy a path and paste straight into Gimp paths dock. Then you can use the Gimp 3 vector layers function (if you want)
