Question about golden-spiral-0.0.py script

Hi,

I've got GIMP 2.8 on OSX Mavericks and I'm trying to use this script:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/golden-spiral-0.0.py/download

I've tried putting it in /Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/scripts and in /Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/plugins. I have verified that both of those paths are set in the GIMP Prefeferences/Scripts and /Plug-ins settings. Either way, I get no errors when starting GIMP and I can't find the menu options to use the golden spiral in GIMP. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Dave

Question about golden-spiral-0.0.py script

I don't know about OSX, but the python script needs python support, you have python installed?

In the unix world, the script needs to be executable, is this the case for you?

Python scripts go in the users plug-ins subdirectory, not in scripts

I am sure ofnuts will be along soon

but on a more general basis, applicable for any plug-in.

Have you made the plug-in executable?

After a Gimp restart, does it show in Help -> Plugin Browser (enter golden in the search box)

If it is not there then it is wrong-place/not-working

Working and that tells me it is in the selection menu.

And indeed it is there and works here PCLinuxOS and Gimp 2.8.14

Question about golden-spiral-0.0.py script

Owen,

Thanks for the response. I have python installed:

Python 2.7.5 (default, Mar 9 2014, 22:15:05)

[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

and I have the script executable:

-rwxr-x--x@ 1 username staff 7980 Nov 14 22:41 golden-spiral-0.0.py

I could just be looking for it in the wrong place. The documentation states that it shows up under "/Select". However, I can't find it under the Image menu or the select menu. Please advise.

Thanks,

Dave

Question about golden-spiral-0.0.py script

Rich,

Thanks for the reply.

I have made the plugin executable. After GIMP restart, I can't find it in Plugin Browser. If I search for "golden" all I find is the Golden Rule Guide that I also installed and it is showing up in GIMP and working properly. I don't see the golden spiral at all by searching in the plugin browser.

That does lead to a different question, though. Should this be in the scripts folder or the plugins folder?

Thanks, Dave

The plugin should be made executable, in one of the plugins directories (check Edit>Preferences>Folders>Plugins to see where they are).

It should be at the bottom of the Select menu of any image window, and appear in the plugin and procedure browsers (but you have already checked this). You can try to start Gimp from a terminal (if this can be done on OSX). If the plugin doesn't register you will likely see an error message in the terminal window. A frequent cause of problem is editing the plugin, and unknowingly altering the indentation. This causes Python syntax errors that make the registration fail (in case of doubt, download a fresh version).

Question about golden-spiral-0.0.py script

OK, it works now. It was a combination of both not being executable AND having it in the scripts folder instead of the plug-ins folder. I had tried both folders but before it was suggested to make them executable.

Thanks, all! Dave
