    I am currently using a Windows XP 32-bit machine, and I am trying to make some gimp plugins. I just learned Python yesterday, and I saved a sample script here: C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts. I don't know why but it is not showing up in Gimp at all. I've also noticed that since I've upgraded to Gimp 2.8, all of the built-in plugins are not in this folder anymore. Are they supposed to go somewhere else?

    Try the C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\plug-ins\ directory.

    It is in C:/Documents and Settings//.Gimp-2.8

    You may have to unhide hidden folders under the Folder Options control panel.

    Try

    C:\Users\<<YOUR USERNAME>>\.gimp-2.8\scripts

    Please note that .gimp is a hidden folder/directory

    I was having the same issue there isn't a .gimp-2.8 folder anywhere after I installed GIMP. However, I realized the .gimp-2.8 folder doesn't appear until GIMP has been run at least once... Once it's there, it's in <%UserProfile%/.gimp-2.8>

    Hope this helps

    plugins - How to show/hide layer by name in GIMP?
  • parxier

    I received a pack of .psd files from a graphic designer that I need to use in the desktop app I'm developing.

    I managed to open those files in GIMP (I work on Ubuntu) The problem is that there are too many layers in there and it is very hard to navigate through them to get to the layer I'm interested in.

    Is there way in GIMP (or maybe plugin?) to show/hide layer by name and/or search for layer with specific name?
