well done partha yet again

Anytime.

I love happy endings.

LOL!

Well, you and 2-ton are my favorite long suffering beta testers.

I owe you both.

oh no, we owe you....we would not have 2.8 with gmic already in it if not for you. We also would have someone to hold our hand and help us get everything to work for us. I only wish I had more time to play around with these programs more.

Thanks to BoOllXox for testing the code and it seems to be working fine for her. So, if anyone is interested, here is how you get apng working for you.

Download the following zip file to your download directory:
http://www.partha.com/temp/apng-distr.zip

Now locate it in Finder. If you double click on it, it will create a folder called apng-distr. Inside this folder are 3 additional folders:
1. apng
2. plug-ins (This contains the actual plug-in called file-apng)
3. share

Now, this is very important:
Locate Gimp.app in Finder. If you right-click on it, The second menu item will be "Show Package Content". Click on this. This will open another Finder Window showing the package Content.

Drag the apng folder from 1) above and drop it inside the folder called tmp.

Next click on Contents -> Resources -> share -> gimp -> 2.0
(In the above -> means click on ).
Drag the folder called share from 3) above and drop it inside the folder called 2.0 (Yes, this the name of the folder inside Gimp).

Finally, drag the contents of plug-ins from 2) above to your Library/Application Support/Gimp-2.8/plug-ins folder. You can locate your Library under your username in Finder. Note that you need to drag file-apng into this plug-ins folder, not the whole folder.

You have to follow these steps exactly. If you don't, it will not work.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Partha

Yes yes perfect! Thanks again Partha x a million! And Rod and everyone else who commented and tried to help me out!

This guide looks incredibly helpful, however, I cannot find this "tmp" folder of which you speak. I understand that is has to be unhidden or something, but none of the guides on the topic that I have found were very useful to me.

Maybe you came at the end of the movie? Just kidding.

Are you on a Mac using McGimp 2.8? Please use that thread to comment on it.

Thanks!
Partha

hmmm now I have to go see if its included in McGimp!

No apng is not included. I will have to reinstate it in the next round.

As I have stated before -it's a pain to maintain.

hmm ok so is it worth my while adding it...doesnt sound so

BTW did you see what I did with Renounours 3d thingy using McGIMP and his gmic script...

Oh, I was using the X11 version of Gimp 2.8. I've installed McGimp and followed your directions again and now everything works perfectly. Thank you!

You are welcome.

Feel free to send me an email or comment on the McGimp 2.8 thread if you have any questions.

No, I didn't. Where did you post it?

Nice.
