EDIT i rewrote to be more clear


Maybe the installer created a gimp2.6 folder in Program Files and/or a .gimp-2.6 folder in Documents and Settings/Yourname
In that case everything will be there

check for the gimp2.6 folders (should be inside the exe and some few files, and a Mathmap folder)

Simply move mathmap.exe, opmacro h and the other files (but not the subfolder "mathmap") in your plugin folder, and then move the Mathmap folder (that has inside a Expression subfolder with the filters ) in C/ Documents and Settings/ yourname/ .gimp...just there added to the other folders already present.

you are right, PC, I searched mathmap and the installer created the 2.6 folder! Now I will try to move them as suggested...I'm no computer nerd, so I hope I can figure it out!!!

*ok this isn't gonna work. I already lost one folder somewhere by trying to move it and accidentally clicking before I found where I wanted it to go, so I uninstalled mathmap and reinstalled it. I do not have any gimp files in the path doc & settings/my name/gimp. Unfortunately I have all my added scripts and brushes and patterns installed in this path, c:programs/gimp2.0/etc., the plugins are in that path 2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plugins. When I look at the installed folders that mathmap put in the folder 2.6, there are 4, mathmap (expressions), plugins, unins.000.dat, unins000.exe. I was wondering, can I just reinstall and change the 2.6 to 2.4? Because otherwise I would need to know the full path of where to put each of those folders. Well, I suppose the uninstalls can stay there unless moving the other folders would mess that up. Have I mentioned that I need a private tutor, lol!

you should have a mathmap.exe file somewhere, and were it is should be also a few other files (opmacro.h, and some else ) did you found them ?

I'm still hosting a older version of mathmap on D.A., but the newer should work fine for you

these are the four files or folders I have in the new 2.6 folder...
mathmap (expressions), plugins, unins.000.dat, unins000.exe.

" plugins"..move in a gimp plugin folder the files inside " plugins"

and in your gimp user direcotory(in documents and settings the "mathmap" folder that contain "expressions"

@2-ton.
I don't know if you had any luck installing your math map yet, but if you follow these instrucs word for word you should have yourself a working copy of mathmap. Worked perfectly for me.

You will have to completely delete the mathmap folder from inside the .gimp-2.6 folder found at at:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6

You will then have to open the plug-ins folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins and delete:

libgslcblas.dll, libgsl.dll, and mathmap

Then, you can install the mathmap 1.3.5 version that you would have gotten here:

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani ... -setup.exe

Once you download that file (or you may still have it on your computer), double-click on it to install it.

Once that is installed, go and grab the zip file MathMap_custom_script_2_1_by_photocomix_resources.zip from PhotoComix at:

http://photocomix-resources.deviantart. ... 1-83507321 (or you may still have it on your computer)

Then unzip MathMap_custom_script_2_1_by_photocomix_resources.zip somewhere on your desktop.

Then place the unzipped folder which will be named mathmap-extra-2-Ecquirectangular into the mathmap expressions folder at:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6\mathmap\expressions

Finally restart Gimp.

Sheesh, that is so complicated. I will have to wait until after we come back from NYC this weekend to get that done...and of course, the big tropical storm is due to come by NYC at the same time we will be there for a big party out on Jamaica Bay. *rolls eyes* Thanks for the step by step, can't wait to try it out.

PhotoComix, won't just re-installing Mathmap write over all the other folders with no need to find and delete them all, including the exe plug-in file?

There is another set of expressions for Mathmap that i can add on to it?
I thought all the new ones came with this install package.

yay! i downloaded and installed the extra filters...sweet! =)
This plug-in is really far-out!

I believe you are making too complicated with the install

2ton problem is that he still use gimp 2.4 , while the installer will search, and create if it is not found a gimp 2.6 folder

And 2-Ton, you almost did is just a step:

as i wrote move the content, the files from "plugins" i mean in gimp-2.6/plugins to a gimp-2.4 plugin folder,
and then the mathmap folder that has a "expression" subfolder inside, in C:documents and settings /yourname /.gimp

That is all, don't mind the unistall files in this case are of any use

About extra filters for mathmap the most complete collection it is here, the older or are included here, or become part of MM
http://photocomix-resources.deviantart. ... /#/d2hfs0e

BUT now is a bit too complete:
i should eliminate 3 scripts because now are part of last mathmap..no pratical problem but 3 silly warning then starting MM to click out

so or you stay with the warning or you eliminate the 3 " filter..or you wait a bit for me to fix the pack.
Again everything works but for the silly warnings

##########################################################################

Solution it is simple as eliminate or rename the 3 filters but..sorry i didn't yet , also because ialways forget to check if are 3 clones or 3 variants (in the first case i may just eliminate, in the second rename will be better )

In case of renaming what is important is not the filename of the expression but the very first line of the code
as example a code the part to change to rename is in bold


filter twist_one(
image in,
int Twists: 1-8 (1))

twist=Twists;
angle = 2*pi*t+twist*pi*x/W;

if sign(y)*y>Y*sign(sin(angle))*sin(angle) then
rgba:[0,0,0,0]
else
ny=y/sin(angle);
in(xy:[x,ny]);
end

end

the name is what follow the word "filter" here "twist_one" to rename is sufficent change that as example in "twist-II"

Cool, thanks PC! =)

i saw only now your message..this is the most complete collection http://photocomix-resources.deviantart. ... /#/d2hfs0e

As i said is a bit too complete :
3 filters should be eliminated because were also added to the last version so now are clones..but are still in the zip

You may rename the subfolders or reorganize the content
REMEMBER THAT FOR MOST FILTERS TO DISPLAY THE USER'S CONTROL (sliders etc) you have FIRST to CLICK the Preview Button
