I am trying to get arrows on GIMP 3.2.4 running under Ubuntu 22.04.
I have tried two modules:
* The script arrow_v3.scm (https://blog.weetech.ch/2025/10/how-to-d...lugin.html). I put it in "$/snap/gimp/560/.config/GIMP/3.0/scripts", made sure it is executable and restarted GIMP. It is supposed to show in the Tools menu, but nothing is there.
* The plug-in pl_stroke_arrows (https://github.com/Scallact/gimp-stroke-...me-ov-file). I put the folder in "$/snap/gimp/560/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins", made sure that pl_stroke_arrows.py is executable and restarted GIMP. It is supposed to show in the Edit menu, but nothing is there.
Any idea about what the problem is? My GIMP is the French version, could that be it?
Thanks for your advice, John
Well, both work but it is pobably the SNAP version of Gimp 3.2.4
Can you post a screenshot of Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Scripts which shows the paths to the folders.

As general advice. You can add your own general folder for Gimp rsources.. In this example a folder in your home called gimp3 Add sub folders for resources, in ths case for scripts and plugins.
The arrow_V3.scm goes in the scripts folder. No need to make it executable
Plugins a bit different, pl_stroke_arrows.py goes in its own folder pl_stroke_arrows and as a plugin it is made executable.
Now you need to add those folders to the paths in Gimp. Edit -> Preferences -> Folders Use the add (+) icon and search.
A restart of Gimp and the arrows do work.
----------------
As a note. Better than a SNAP Gimp 3 is the PPA installation
