I use Windows, not Linux

filePathSplit = filePath.split("/")

Because pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(image) is going to return a filepath in Windows format because you're runing GIMP on Windows. i.e.

C:\Users\ethan\Desktop\Test.xcf

You should probably use os.path.dirname(path) to get the directory name: https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html

This generally makes sense. However, when I tested it outside of GIMP in regular Python, it gave me an error when I used the backslash but worked correctly when I used a forward slash, so that's why I coded it that way. Any idea why that might be the case? I'll try using the os function instead though.

I only hardcoded the path when I was testing the code in Python outside of GIMP (to make sure that the non-GIMP syntax worked correctly). In the full GIMP script, I'm using pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(image) to get the file path of the saved file and then manipulating that path to get the output directory.

For the sake of documentation, here's the script that I used that now works:

Code:

def folderCheck(filePath, newFolder):
   outFolder = os.path.join(filePath, newFolder)
   outFolderExists = os.path.exists(outFolder)
   if outFolderExists == False:
       os.mkdir(outFolder)
   return outFolder

def exportPNG8(image, layer):
   filePath = pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(image)
   dirname = os.path.dirname(filePath)
   fileName = os.path.basename(filePath)
   outFolder = folderCheck(dirname, "PNG8")

register(
   "python_fu_marvelmods_export_png8",
   "Exports a texture to PNG8 format.",
   "Exports a texture to PNG8 format.",
   "BaconWizard17",
   "BaconWizard17",
   "January 2023",
   "Export as PNG8",
   "*",
   [
       (PF_IMAGE, "image", "Input image", None),
       (PF_DRAWABLE, 'drawable', 'Layer, mask or channel', None)
   ],
   [],
   exportPNG8,
   menu='<Image>/Marvel Mods/Export Textures/By Texture Format'
)

main()
