Gimp Path Tools installation? Or usage? - Appalbarry - 10-29-2018

I'm using GIMP 2.8.22 on Mint Linux 19.  I have downloaded and unzipped ofn-text-along-path.py and have copied it to /home/barry/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to find it in GIMP. I think I've looked everywhere, so assume that I've missed some critical step in installing the plug in.  It does show up in the Plug-in browser as python-fu-ofn-text-along-path.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Barry

Right-click in the Paths toolbox, and at the bottom you'll see Tools |Text Along Path

From the doc (html file included in the .ZIP):

Quote:This script is called from the Paths list dialog, by right-clicking on the path used as a guide for the text, It appears in the Tools submenu.
