Just put in one folder:

For Windows 10 Gimp 2.10 plugins  something.exe (plus associted dll's )  or something.py go in
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins    Example: https://i.imgur.com/o1THImH.jpg

You can always find the menu location of a correctly installed and working (some old plugins do not work) using Help -> Plugin Browser  Use a search term and look for the location.   For startrail it is <Image> /File / Create  Example: https://i.imgur.com/zL8dPZZ.jpg

Most plugins require an open canvas otherwise they are 'greyed-out' / inactive. Make a new empty image. Look in File -> Create -> Startrail  Example:  https://i.imgur.com/UyIWo2n.jpg

thanks for your response. I copied the file into the right folder, but I cannot either find it in create or using plug-in search.
Interesting... any idea?
Thanks again anyway!

Yes plenty ideas.

This is the site. https://github.com/themaninthesuitcase/g...compositor How did you download the plugin?
It is possible to scramble the plugin. Use the green "Code" button and download the gimp-startrail-compositor-master.zip file.
Unzip it. Three files and an images folder. All you need in Gimp is the startrail.py file (size 10,421 B )

User trying to start the plugin from out-side-of Gimp. (It does sometimes happen)

Unlikely for a Windows Gimp 2.10, Is python working ? Is there a Python-fu menu entry, in the Filters menu, that will open a console ? No need to use the console, but is it there ?
