Set up resources manager plug-in (showing brushes) - rich2005 - 11-17-2020

A very short basic description of Ofnuts   addonCollectionManager  for managing resources brushes, dynamics, gradients, palettes, patterns, scripts (.scm not plug-ins), and fonts although fonts are problematic in Windows.

Download from here see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/

addonCollectionManager-3.0.py down the list look for date 2013-05-26

There is a description of the setup here: http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/managementtools.shtml

Concentrating on a  brush collection setup. (others are similar except fonts)

Make collections of similar brush themes as a zip file. Use any recognized brush types. Single .abr brushes can be zipped or included with other types.

The zipped 'themes' go in a folder  
Windows: C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\brushes_storage
Linux:  ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/brushes_storage

The addonCollectionManager plugin is enabled from a right-click in the brushes dock.
Choose the set(s) Click on OK. the sets are added to the brushes dock. They can be filtered using the zip-file name.
Either leave the  addonCollectionManager  dialogue open, it will be hidden behind Gimp or close it.
Removing / adding more brush sets: Open the  addonCollectionManager  dialogue, untick / tick  any changes and OK.
