Ofnuts' path-grid plugin ? - loldebyte - 02-05-2022
Hello,
First of all, thank you Ofnuts for all the hard work & support.
I'm trying to use the path-grid-0.1.py plugin described here : http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/decorations.shtml#path-shaped-grid. But as it turns out, that guide seemed a bit outdated (at least the install info simply doesn't work for 2.10) and since I didn't see a thread about any ofn-grid thingies in all the 24 pages i figured there was none to be found. I've searched this forum for "ofn-grid" or "hex grid" but no luck there either.
I downloaded the .py file and put it at ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/path-grid-0.1.py, but I don't see python-fu as an option and cannot find the tool either... I successfully installed and used it on another PC using gimp 2.8, but I'd really like to have both that plug-in (I didn't manage to generate an hexagonal grid with the default functionalities) and 2.10 functionalities (mainly Fill Path, which I believe is not available in 2.8).
I figured maybe it was because the python wasn't a valid command, but aliasing python3 as python didn't solve the problem either...
I am very inexperienced with GIMP so it is entirely possible that i'm missing something obvious or that I'm looking for a complicated way out of a simple problem.
Anyway, any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance !

Well, you likely have to add Python V2 support to Gimp. See [this thread](https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Heal-Selection-Missing-from-Gimp-on-Ubuntu-20-04?pid=18351#pid18351) for some methods.

If no python is the issue, then it also depends where Gimp comes from.
Your linux distro, if a recent edition will not support python2 having moved on to python3. Think 'buntu, debian ... Gimp installed from repository.
Gimp installed using a SNAP installation
Python support should be there if Gimp is installed from a flatpak.
or
Try a Gimp appimage ( a linux 'portable' Gimp) Last version is Gimp 2.10.22 but still perfectly usable.
It might help if you give details of distro / Gimp version.

I totally forgot to mention that i'm using ubuntu 20.04, my bad !
Either GIMP came with it or i installed it through apt, GIMP is not listed with snap list.
Is python 2 really mandatory ? Bummer, I hoped I could finally stay clear off python2. If python2 is a req then I guess I'll be using an appimage. Thanks !

Well, I use kubuntu 20.04 with Gimp 2.10.30 as https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/07/ppa-install-gimp-2-10-20-ubuntu-20-04/ No python in that so the debs installed as previous post. Installed through apt, I think Gimp 2.10.18
If you are not using Gimp that much, an appimage is a good alternative.

EDIT : nevermind, I actually do see the script. I simply downloaded the wrong one... Facepalm... Thanks for the help, the AppImage solution does indeed seem to work wonders
