A simple option, although applicable only to specific situations like the one raised in this topic would be:
With the Pencil Tool selected, center your starting point in the axi-longitudinal center of the line;
Initial click, holding ctrl + shift and keeping the Pencil Tool selected it is possible to create a 45 degree offset angle.
Select the end point and click.
Then alpha for selection, Select to path.
mholder, I also tried these steps brilliantly designed by denzjos, but literally following the steps will not work. At least with me it was like that, starting with the same initial mistake that you also got.
But I also found others, after break path apart it was impossible to generate intermediate paths since the paths created had different numbers of strokes.
But the idea of denzjos is excellent and it works, you just need to adjust the steps.
Ottia Tuota,
The plugin works correctly.
But following the steps taken, there is no selection made, so this error appears by the mholder. The same happened to me when I tried to follow the steps literally.

I tried this:
- select the black line with the Fuzzy Selection Tool (ok)
gimp menu :
- Select / To Path (ok)
- Select / None (ok)
- on path, right click :
- Tools / Cropping and Slicing / Crop path by rectangle (error, then I use canvas option)
- Edit / Break path apart (ok)
- Tools / Generate intermediate paths (3) (does nothing)
So what am I doing wrong here? I can already think of many uses for this if I can get it to work.

Could you please tell: What error? What kind of a path? What rectangle option you tried - rectangular selection, guides, or active layer? A picture would tell much. Errors may mean bugs in the code, so I am interested.
If you use the canvas option, it may well be that cropping does nothing, depending on the situation.
