Text font select for Gimp 2.9_Win_32bit.

It is also part of Beautify - authorship Jian He (hejiann).
This plugin only can process text layer.

Since Gimp has updated to 2.10, does beautify still work?

I just tried Beautify in Samj's portable 2.10. It worked fine. I will now see if Image Shine works with it in 2.10.

Worked on Image Shine Alpha. See image posted. Worked fine, but kept getting errors that values out of range and left undo in bad state. I had chosen keep layers, and when checked them, everything had worked. Not sure why kept getting errors. Maybe one of our script coders can figure it out. Maybe it is not completely compatible.

I was not trying to do a complete image, just playing to see if the script would work.

I have Beautify downloaded. I'm just not sure where it goes when installing it to gimp in windows 10.

The 4 .exe or application files go in your plug-in folder. The other folders go in the same level directory as the plug in folder. If you put in the Alpha Shine, it goes in your user .scm folder.
Which operating system do you have? Are you using the regular or a portable version of 2.10 as where you place your folders is a bit different.

Gimp 2.10 user folder location has changed from 2.8
You have to enable 'show hidden files and folders' in folder options.
The path is C:/Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/GIMP/2.10. You can always see it from the File/preferences/folders inside Gimp.
If you are using portable by Partha or Samj it's obviously somewhere in the extracted application folder.

I downloaded the regular version. I have Windows 10..64Bit

Hi there... I am a new member...
I need some help with beautify...
First my machine details... I use
ubuntu 18.04.1
Gimp version 2.10.6

I choose to install gimp from this PPA ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
Gimp works perfect but I am not able to install beautify plugin and I have been trying hard but nothing seems to work.

I will tell you what have been my last action and perhaps someone could tell me what I am doing wrong... Thanks in advance...

I download beautify from here... "github /hejiann/beautify" and I place it in my home folder, it is named beautify-master I open it into a terminal and try to make but although I have libgimp2.0-dev in its latest version I receive this output...

~/beautify-master$ make
gcc `gimptool-2.0 --cflags` -c beautify.c -o beautify.o
Package gegl-0.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gegl-0.4.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gegl-0.4', required by 'gimp-2.0', not found
No output from 'pkg-config --cflags gimpui-2.0'
beautify.c:18:10: fatal error: libgimp/gimp.h: No such file or directory
#include <libgimp/gimp.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Makefile:77: recipe for target 'beautify.o' failed
make: *** [beautify.o] Error 1

I hope someone could tell me the right way to install beautify... thank you.

I've opened an issue in the beautify git hub page if someone answer me I let you know, thanks...

From the error message you need libgegl-dev installed, something like this https://i.imgur.com/6994pta.jpg and possibly other dev files as well. I would start off with a export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -lm" (that is lower case LM) before make

The code for the plugin(s) has not changed since about 2012, I just can not see it being updated for Gimp 2.10 The question has been asked before.

However it does compile, with plenty of warnings about deprecated procedures and largely works.

Just compiled in (k)ubuntu 18.04, get a zip with the files from my storage - about 40 MB with all those borders & effects.

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... aH4H68dXn7

EDIT: some of the extra border jpg files were missing from the compilation. Added those and updated the zip. Now about 50 MB.

The 4 plugins go in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins The 4 folders go in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10 (along with all the other folders)

What does not work - the simple border, the changes to the Gimp 2.10 clipboard cause an error.

If a simple border is needed there are other ways. Use an edge mask. Easy to apply with a couple of simple scripts and some greyscale images. You could adapt those beautify border pngs to edge masks.

Details of that are here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Easy-Edge-Masks

I've download your folders but it didn't compile...
Sorry But I am not able to make it work...
But you were right, I hadn't installed libgegl-dev, I have it now but it doesn't work...

Thanks anyway...

You do not have to compile anything from the zip I posted. It is already compiled.

Put the 4 plugins in your plugins folder ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins check that they are executable. The 4 folders go in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/

There is a Beautify entry in the Filters menu

I got simple border to work by disabling the translation and replacing the clipboard name stuff:
in simple-border.c around line 348 -349
I've changed to

uncommented INIT_I18N ();
and set Clipboard Image instead of Clipboard

I'm not a c-coder, but it compiled (on Linux Mint 18.3) and works
I'll attach my compiled simple-border here. Goes into your private plug-ins folder. Don't forget to make executable.

I did it... finally... I was helped by Norbert in ask ubuntu... the key was this...
sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
and then...
sudo apt-get build-dep gimp

And after this I did it all over again...

use git to clone the files and then compile it...



and then I compiled textures...
and finally all work like a charm...

I did it but it didn't work thanks anyway... I will keep your folder just in case the new version change all over again... you help me a lot...

By the way... I am not able to put all what I did because when I try to post it... the sistem tell me that my post looks spammy...

That is a big issue for everyone who want to post something useful... so take it into account for further questions...

That works fine here as well nelo - kubuntu 16.04 Gimp flatpak

The whole thing works in my Desktop PClinuxOS Gimp 2.10.6 which shows how forgiving gimp compiled plugins can be. (Not too sure about that CentOS compiled appimage however )

However, not a plugin which I normally use, so as usual gets consigned to the archive.

I put it at work immediately...

I'm on Windows 10 64 bit and have Gimp 2.10.6 and Samj's Beautify 64 bit plugin.
It works but I'm missing a bunch of tabs like I had in Gimp 2.8.22
Any ideas as to what might be wrong ?
I have all the folders in with the plugins.

Try to put the extra folders directly in your Appdata>Roaming>GIMP 2.10 folder and leave the plugins where you have them.
