Well there is allways InkScape for converting a bitmap image to an SVG.
When it comes to the center-line trace extension ( = plugin) it is a bit problematic with InkScape 1 which uses python 3. Still waiting for it to be updated. The older InkScape 0.98 uses python 2 and similar to Gimp you need to install the AutoTrace executable to get that centerline trace.
@Rich. I checked the original link where I found the script (
https://www.gimpscripts.net/search?updat...date=false) and found this :

If I launch the plugin in gimp, the folder 'Gimp work space' is made. So there are two spaces in the name and I think this is the problem. I searched in the .py file to find if the file name is made in the plugin but I can't find anything (I could be wrong, I'm no specialist in this sort of program). Can I solve this?
I see what you mean from the gimpscripts site. No spaces or accented characters. Your temporary file location is
D:\Gimp work space\ and contains spaces which breaks Autotrace. All I can suggest is go into
Edit -> Preferences -> Folders and change the location of the Temporary folder.
This a regular Win10 Gimp where the temporary folder is C:\Users\username\Appdata\Local\Temp\gimp No spaces there. I suggest keeping it simple. Try setting to C:\Users

Which Gimp are you actually using? Even installed for user only on D: there should still be a regular Gimp profile in C:
Is it a portable version of some sort installed on a removable drive?
Just for information, there is a Gimp 2.10.22 Windows installer just released. Mostly bug updates - no rush to update.
Thank you rich, I was forgotten where I could change the swap / temp folder in gimp and see, after changing the name to 'D:\Gimpwsp', the trace script is working fine. I use the D drive because the C drive is a small SSD drive that is full for more than 67% and I want to save it. I'm using Gimp 20.10.20 installed on the D drive and have no problems using this program. Thank you for the tip gimp 2.10.22 is available. So problem solved and one happy user.
