I have gone to python-fu console and ran print gimp.directory and received the location for the plug-ins to be added: /home/live4soccer7/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/

I created a subdirectory of plug-ins

/home/live4soccer7/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ofn-export-layers-cumulative.py

I have never used gimp python-fu and am new to gimp in general. I am moving over from photoshop, but I need to create a script to export images from an xcf file. I figured I would get the above script added just to get the flow and see if I can't modify it or use it as a template to create my own. My script would be rather simple, hopefully.

Select a layer, export jpeg at 90%
deselect previous layer and select a different layer, export jpeg at 90%
and so on and so forth.

Regardless, that's a moot point until I can get a script to show up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I have Python 2.7.18 installed and confirmed when checking from terminal.

python-fu shows this: 
GIMP 2.10.38 Python Console
Python 2.7.18 (default, May  3 2024, 11:47:46) 
[GCC 13.2.0]

Thank you for any help in getting me going on this. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple. 

Do I need to make the python script executable or is there a permission issue?

The site for my plugins is again working. I might as well mention that there is also a master page where the links to all my plugins can be found:

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/

I don't remember having mentioned it before.

And the big problem is of course that the plugins are not maintained any more, and with Gimp3 they will be obsolete. This is a pity since there is, I think, material that would deserve preserving and porting to Gimp3. But that will not be done by me. Well, that´s life.

I am trying to make a label for a beer can. The warning text is required to be 2mm in height. I have tried to use the text tool and set the size by mm but if I set it to 2mm it only make the text height 1.27mm when I am checking with the measure tool. I am using Calibri light font. Which direction is the text tool using to make the size?

Hello, I am using Sonoma 14.5 and in Finder all XCF files are just "Gimp-doggie" pics - no thumbnails of real content, no preview when spacebar pressed.
How to tune that to work?
Thx a lot

I used 2.6 before and after switched to 2.10 I noticed that all floating panels are hidden when I edit something or just wait few seconds. Is there a hotkey to show them or is there an option to make them stay on top like in 2.6?

Did you know that the blood types were A/B/C before 1901 then type C become 0 (zero) or type NULL in later publication (after 1901), because it does not have antigen in red blood cell (but have both Anti bodies A - B, thus universal donors),
So did type 0 (zero), became type O (as Oh) because of a typo? thus am I a typo?  

Fun fact, the Rhesus name (Rh negative or positive) was given from a species of monkey, the Rhesus monkey (it's a macaque), because they discovered it in that species.

In all case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type was quite interesting

Using 2.10.38 on w11

Hello, I usually open a number of files by drag and drop from a folder. 
When I do all the images open slightly zoomed in. So for every image I have to "ctrl+shift+J" to see the entire image. Very annoying. 
Can anyone help.

Hello,

I hope I'm going to explain this well enough. This is my first attempt at using GIMP so, I'm hoping the solution is not too complicated. 

I have a jpeg image which, as far as I know is all 1 layer. That's what it shows as in GIMP. It was made by an AI (which couldn't spell, which is why I am trying to fix it)! The whole image is square, with an outer circle with text and small graphics. Then an inner circle with a image graphic. The text in the oputer circle is part of the image/layer and, I have managed to remove the mis-spelt letters. Now I need to move some letters to match the remaining correct text in the outer circle. 

I have managed to get the letters in roughly the correct position but, still need to align them to flow round the outer circle to match the rest of the text. I think I need an circular line to let me place the letters properly. This is what I'm having trouble with. I have got a circular selection marker created, in a separate layer, in the place I need but, I think I need e.g. a white circular line where the selection marker is to let me pull the text to the right place. Obviously, if I select anything else e.g. any text, the circular selection marker disappears.

I would need to have the line there while I align the text correctly and, then delete the line once I am finished with the text.

If further information is needed, please let me know.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
