Looking for a Script

Brush-batch script .. Two versions for Linux and Windows.Script tested on GIMP 2.8,it works flawlessly.

The script will find the Tools-> Brushes-> Creating a batch B & W. ..

You are so welcome, Molly.

Pogo, I am not able to get to my molly/users/.gimp/brushes so I have to save it to pictures then copy it from there into my brushes. It doesn't give me too many options to get where I want to go since the paths are different in Fedora. No problem though. I don't make that many brushes anyway.

Molly,open the menu "save to folder" at the bottom click the other and select the folder.

Nope that doesn't work, I tried that, I can't get any further than the molly folder. If I save it to pictures or any other folder I am able to get to, it will work but not .gimp-2.8/brushes.
It needs to be able to go to home/view/show hidden files/gimp-2.8/brushes.

I click a other-> pogo (double click) -> Ctrl + H, and I'm home.
You tried to do so?

Doesn't work for me pogo. Are you using Fedora-17? This is what I get, no way I can get to the .gimp folder through that script.

I have the same problem in my OSX as Molly . I just slap stuff onto my desktop and then I can go to the proper file and drag and drop it from the desktop. I am sure there is some secret I am missing, but so far, this is what I have to do.

No, I'm using xubuntu this is a small ubuntu.
Molly try to press <alt +. > The keyboard shortcut that should work in Fedora,may change the settings http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/01/set ... -laughlin/
I'm sorry but I have no more ideas.

@2-ton
OSX is still a mystery to me.

Thanks Pogo, I can make it save the brushes to Pictures so I can move it from there with no problem. I won't be using it much anyway.

Right-click on one of the files and choose "Show hidden files" from the dropdown menu.

Thanks Saul, as usual your instrucs worked.
Only one problem, I did two and both were colored. When I made them into a brush, they were black and white. I tried changing the mode and that didn't work.

That is apparently how the script is intended to function: regardless of the color mode of the original files, the resulting brushes are grayscale (consider the name of the script, "Creating a batch B&W").
