I am now running Windows and Fedora on two separate hard drives. I now have my scripts, patterns, gradients, brushes and some fonts moved over from Windows. In the Plug-ins folder I have moved all my .py files.

Question:

I now have several files yet to move but I am unsure as to which ones I can move. This is a snapshot of part of them. Could someone please guide me as what to do with these.

Molly,

In general, you can move script files and py (which are also text files - not pyc files) without any issues unless they have any sort of Windows path statements in them. In that case, you edit them to reflect Linux paths. DLLs are Windows dynamic link libraries and cannot be used on Linux. That's OK since you can find an equivalent shared object (.so files) on Linux. I think 8bf files are photoshop binary filters and cannot be moved as far as I know.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Partha. I will have to learn now how to edit these files.

Start with gedit which is like a familiar Windows text editor. Also has a lot of plugins that you activate.

Thank you, I will try it. I already had the list of files in gedit.

That is where I took the screen shot from.

Molly you just may copy the py files they will not need editing (except rare cases)

All the other as .exe and dll are only for windows,...8bf are PS filters but would be better keep separated from the other filters

PC, are you saying that I can add the .exe files to my plug-in folder in Linux Fedora?

No, please!
Sorry for the error in my reply,(i wrote linux instead then windows, corrected now) i was just suggesting to move only the py file and NOT the rest

Well if you use pspi you may wish copy also the 8bf but would be better keep them separated
(BTW in linux the pspi will work only if you have wine installed )

Thanks PC, I guess I wasn't confused after all.

So it looks like I won't be able to use all those plug-ins. I already put all the .py ones into fedora
