Plug-ins

Plug-ins

Introduction

These plug-ins currently only work in the latest GIMP development version or Artbox, my custom GIMP build. Once GIMP 3 is officially released as a Flatpak, they should work fine there too. They may not work on Windows, I’ve shifted to Linux for development, but with a small tweak or two, they might work just fine.

Installation

  • Find or add a plug-ins folder; GIMP -> Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-ins
  • Extract a <plug-in-name.zip> to that folder, keeping the plug-in inside its own named folder.
  • plug-ins-folder/plug-in-name/plug-in-name.scm
  • Right click the <plug-in-name.scm> inside an extracted plug-in folder.
  • Properties -> permissions -> allow executing file as program.
  • Repeat for any other supporting plug-ins.
  • Restart GIMP.

Keyboard Shortcut

This forces GIMP to save the shortcut for the next session. First, search for the plug-in name, and assign a shortcut.

Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Once the shortcut is working as you like, save your work then;

File -> Quit

When GIMP restarts, your plug-in should be activated by the assigned key.
