@Carlos Diniz / Molly

There is Graechan's excellent script film strip combine.scm in post #31 of this thread.
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10356&start=30#p137873

which produces one effect "To use place 5 equally sized images into a directory then select that directory when you open the Menu"

but the standard filmstrip is in Filters -> Combine -> Filmstrip

I also looked in Plug-ins. As in my last post, it shows I do have it, BUT WHERE?
Could some one tell me why the standard filmstrip isn't in my script folder but It IS in
GIMP under filters > Combine > filmstrip. I did a search but it just comes up with one in GAP and has a .c ext.

Still using Fedora? Molly

The standard Gimp filter Combine -> Film Strip is a plug-in and you can find it here /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/film

Since you are in Linux:

Code: Select all

grep -B4 -A5 strip ~/.gimp-2.8/pluginrc

In the output:

Code: Select all

(plug-in-def "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/film" 1386361952
    (proc-def "plug-in-film" 1
         "Combine several images on a film strip"
         "Compose several images to a roll film"
         "Peter Kirchgessner"
         "Peter Kirchgessner ([email protected])"
         "1997"
         "_Filmstrip..."
         1
        (menu-path "<Image>/Filters/Combine")                                       
        (icon stock-id -1 "")                                                       
         "INDEXED*, GRAY*, RGB*"                                                    
         12 1

No .py extension in "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/film" so it's likely a binary. To confirm:

Code: Select all

file /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/film

gives:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/film: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0xb9c548be1ad40e9bc8e58f8395339373e326f5ea, stripped

Thank you ofnuts. I see it now. I figured it was not something I added so Graechan's is a completely different beast that I didn't have.

Molly Filmstrip is a default plugin located in you gimp folder as below↓

although the tutorial used Filmstrip to create the image, I did not as it was easier to join the layers together to form 1 layer

Here is the the plugin browser showing both 'Filmstrip' and 'Filmstrip Combine'
