Thanks, that fixed it !

Is there a way to get the other texture downloads: https://github.com/hejiann/beautify/wik ... s-Download
to get them to work with gimp 2.10? The file is a BZ file and I doubt that gimp will recognize a file with that extension.

Its a compressed archive file. You must uncompress it with a program like Win.rar or 7zip.

A good (free) tool for all sorts of archive formats is PeaZip http://www.peazip.org/

I updated my archive of linux beautify to include those folders, see post #130

However as separate zips which Windows will open

https://www.dropbox.com/s/te0xe54946qga ... r.zip?dl=0 7 MB
https://www.dropbox.com/s/efl2cu0zzsl5j ... r.zip?dl=0 12 MB

I uncompressed the files, the folders now contain .tar files. Will gimp be able to read those files? The OS I have is Windows 10.

Yes, it is a two part archive xxxx.tar.bz You also need to unpack the tar. (tar = TapeArchive)

Rich2005, The folders you have, don't contain the extra textures. They were the same ones, already included. I still can't figure out how to get the other textures from https://github.com/hejiann/beautify/wik ... s-Download

7zip doesn't work for me. I can't uncompress the file within the zipfolder.

Same place as you put the other two

C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10

The whole thing (with screenshots) described here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Re-Beautify-Plugin

Thanks, that worked.

Whenever I try to use the Beautify plugin, I get the following error message:



I'm running GIMP 2.10.6 on Windows 7. I'm very new to GIMP. What do I need to fix? As near as I can tell, the files are where they are supposed to be (per the thread linked above).

Does everything work except simple border?

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

Nothing you can do about that.

Any chance this will be fixed anytime soon in either GIMP or the plugin? Is there another plugin with the same functionality that DOES work in GIMP 2.10?

This is the mini 64bit version (only selected own textures/frames, without any automatically imposed).

For the GimpPortable version I needed the "slim" 64bit version so I compiled - maybe someone will benefit.

You need to add your textures and frames to the "Beautify Texture & Border" catalog in thematic subdirectories, e.g. Frames, Flowers, Grid, etc.

In menu Gimp: Filters/Decor/Beautify Texture & Border...

thanks for your information.

Does this work for the non GimpPortable version? You know, the download on gimp.org

Thank you MareroQ. I tried the other 'extra' ones before and couldn't get them. I hope these work in my gimp.

Looks like I have to check where they go. My gimp is not a portable and the beautify plugin comes already installed in 2.10. I could not find a specific folder to put the items in the zip file. I tried plugins but that didnt work.

@MareroQ

Where is the resource catalog folder Beautify-Image supposed to go? (in gimp_directory) to me indicates the Gimp user profile but I have tried various places, main gimp directory / gimp plugins directory / gimp user directory.... and can not get it to show. Running from a terminal in verbose mode & got a load of glib errors.



Using regular Gimp 2.10.14 / Windows 10

Edit: Ok, forget that. I am using the wrong folder name. Needs to be "Beautify Texture & Border" as your zip file.

I have the plug-in in its own folder, also declared it as plug-in folder in the GIMP settings.
Then at the same level I put the other folders (rip-border, texture-border, simple-border)
Looks like this:

And I have the tabs as seen with MareroQ screenshot

Thank you for this Plug-in.
I have everything up and running after a little problem with Trend Micro not wishing to let me install. Extra frames created in Sinedots work well.
I have one wish, that someone could get Simple Borders to work.
If I made my own "simple borders" which format would I have to save them in?
I have not yet tried Skin Whitening beautify plug-in, will do that shortly.
I am using Windows 10, 64 bit, Gimp 2.10.12.

I was looking at this for someone yesterday and came up with this:

The original simple-border masks are transparent png's and as far as I can tell do not work as expected. Transparency becomes solid.




The same without transparency ( no alpha, so might as well use jpegs and save space) seem to work (but might not be as expected). White = transparency Black = FG colour, as shown in one of the previous posts.
