Selection bevel and Render texture Python plug-ins

WW · **Joined:** Jul 11, 2011 **Posts:** 111

I apologize in advance as I am new to Gimp and this forum...

I usually like to find the answers myself but at times like this I am easily stumped.

I can't get this to work or I now not what to do later with it?

1) downloaded
2) changed file name to .py
3) put the file with path C:\Users\username\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins
4) restarted Gimp

Can't find it. I peaked back at the .txt file and see that it should be under Filter/Render dropdown but I just see it. I even start a new file and see if that causing it not to load.

I have a laptop and am running Vista 32bit

I've been able to install other things scripts and filters just not getting this to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Since you are a Windows user, you need to have the Python plug-in for .py files to work in gimp.

Here is a somewhat confusing thread about Python.
http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?p=27330#p27330

This tells you about installing Python
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.24/pygtk-all-in-one.README

Get it here
http://www.python.org/

You will probably need to ask more questions but this is a start.

I am pretty sure dd's scripts do not work in Gimp-2.7.3 version either.

Alrighty then, thanks for the info. I've been looking at your info plus several other sites. I was thrown a curve at the python.org site where 2.6.7 was the version they were pushing. It didn't have this msi thingy and was source only. Finally found the 2.6.6 msi installer and getting that.

Next is the all in one installer, I've already warmed up my hair follicles with the first download, the real hair pulling begins soon...very soon.

This explains why is working then, the .py python file. Thanks for the info, my brain feel bigger now.

You can bet I'll be asking questions. But hopefully not about this sort of thing.

anyone have luck with this on osx? I put these in my plug-ins folder but nada shows in my filter menus. How do I check to see if I actually have python?

Look in Filters and see if Python-Fu is in that menu.

One other thing you should remember is just because you can see Console doesn't mean it will work.
I had Python-2.5 installed and everything showed it just didn't work.
Go to Filters/Python-Fu/and try and start console.If it doesn't start you need Python-2.6 for MAC system.
I am not too entirely sure where to get that but maybe Akky knows?

I do have python-fu in my filter list and I can start the console....looks like it's a window for writing script.
I could be that some plug-ins just don't work with gimp for osx.
