I'm working in Windows 7 for a bit and I really want the 2.9+ version of Gimp. I use Patha's portable version so it won't mess up anything in my system. Anyway, I spent so time getting it set up the way I want, adding brushes and other scripts etc.
Lots of my scripts and plugins worked fine until I put a .py script into the plugin folder. This one:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/20069
After that, the Gimp wouldn't even start. I removed the .py file and still it wouldn't work. I had to remove the entire 'portable' folder and start over. In the portable version the 'portable' folder is like the .gimp2.8 folder, where all the brushes, scripts, etc folders are.
This raises 2 questions:
First, does anyone know why something like this would happen? And secondly, I read somewhere that all .py scripts need to go in the 'plugin' folder. Really? Is this a requirement or just a recommendation?
