My shape folder didn't need the permissions, that one was already done. Anyway, yes I am the problem child and Graechan what would you do if you didn't have me to pick on.

Molly, if you start GIMP from terminal, you should see what the problem is.

GIMP is seeing the /shapes folder as a plugin and tries to run it. It doesn't affect the plug-in's execution, though. See below..

GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "shapes"
(.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/shapes)

Failed to execute child process ".gimp-2.8/plug-ins/shapes" (Permission denied)

Thanks Tux, the problem is solved now but I will try to remember to do that the next time.

I've changed the initial post to indicate that in Linux you need to set permissions for all 18 files

A new shape is available "Drop"
http://registry.gimp.org/node/32128

The file needs to have permissions and added to the plug-ins/shapes folder.

You will then restart GIMP and find it under Filters>Paths>and in the dialog under shape>drop.

Rod, are we supposed to remove the old py file and put in the new one, OR just the shape folder and leave the rest?

Unzip to the plug-ins folder and overwrite the files already there.
Restart GIMP. :bigthup

Arakne has been busy again and as usual this new release is fantastic, but be informed this release is an update
It does not have all the files necessary to to install from new, to install from new first install 6b then overwright with 6c files

This new revision separates various sections by tabs to make the interface clearer.
Added to the filling and edge section is the option of creating a new layer to which the selected values of filling and edge will be applied, and the option to use as a fill Pattern. also a new shape Teardrop
