Hi Molly

Yes, thats right, not only .py, but also ELF executables. You would need the source code
for compiling it. Maybe it does it with gimptool. I don't know. I use windows.

Hatti

Thank you anyway Hatti, I don't know how to do that so I guess I will have to sulk. lol

I took the whole code from iwarp, because, it is very good indeed and does what I want.
I just changed some things and gave it an other name, I don't know the license of all
that stuff, wheather it is allowed or not, so I just gave it to rod for testing.
But. Take the source from GIT or whatever, it is just one .c file, make the changes I described
above and compile it. You will get the same results.

I have iwarp under distorts but I do not have it in my plug-in folder. It is not under iwarp and it is not under plug-in-iwarp. It shows up when I go to help in gimp and click browse plug-ins, Why wouldn't it be in my folder in Fedora? This is crazy.

Hi Molly

There are at least two plugin folders. They can be seen by choosing "Edit/Preferences" (I hope, my gimp is german :-) ) in the tree "Folder/Plugins".
See there.
a) normally: "/usr/gimp-2.7.5/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins" or "/opt/gimp-2.7.5/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins"
b) other is "~/.gimp-2.7/plug-ins"
iwarp should be in a)

But this is not the source code, this is the executable in ELF format, ready compiled.

Thanks,
In Fedora, as far as I know there is only one plug-in , script, brushes, patterns, folder etc. I went into hidden files and I guess I will have to see if one the the Linux guys can help me find it. Where do I find the source file?

Hi.

You didn't ever manually load the source? Then I think you sadly will fail.
You have to load the source manually. Gimp uses GIT revision control system, so it's best to get
the sources with GIT.
IWarp depends on libgimp, you need these librarys, too. libgimp depends on cairo, gtk, pixbuff, etc.,
so you need all these libraries, too. All in all, you need a complete developing environment for gimp.
My help is ending here, it was a hard work to put all the dependencies for windows together, i don't know,
how to do it in Fedora. Sorry. Maybe it is much easier, because gimp was written for Linux.

Hatti

Thank you Hatti, I am just getting used to Linux Fedora myself, I still have Windows on a second hard drive. I will learn where everything is eventually, I did find two plug-ins in preferences but I haven't been able to view the files yet.
Anyway, thanks, in the mean time I will put that plug-in in my windows gimp.

Are we going to get this account above my post removed for spam?

Sadly i did not get a chance to grab the Iwarp (Liquify), plugin.
Could you post the attachment again please?

I tried it in my Windows Gimp but it was asking for .dll files so it didn't work for me. It is attached below Rod.

Thanks Molly i will see if i can get it to work for me.

Molly i have it working fine in Gimp-2.6
I just placed the "liquify.exe" file in my UserFolder/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder and found it in Filters>Distorts>Liquify

Nicely done!The preview window looks really good.



I have not tried it in Gimp-2.7 yet.

Glad to see that Rod,
I did the same thing. I went over to Windows, opened my user/molly.Gimp 2.6 folder, put in the liquify.exe and I also put it in the Partha's 2.7. When I opened up Gimp, I got a message, missing dll's. in both Gimps.

Is it the libintl-8.dll Molly?

It will not work in Gimp-2.7 at all.The dll files are named the same but different.
Was this plugin compiled from Gimp-2.6 src files?

Hi Rod.

No, your version was compiled in the Gimp 2.7 environment.
I don't use Gimp 2.6 any longer. Gimp 2.8 will look more like 2.7 and I want to get used to it...
I don't use the .gimp-2.7 folder in my home directory, because it's just for me. I made a folder
MyPlugins and adjusted it in gimp. All of the .dll from gimp\bin folder are in this folder, too,
because otherwise I get errors for missing dlls.
The liquify plugin will not work in gimp 2.6.

Hatti

This works in Gimp-2.8

I guess I can't try it in Fedora 17, I can't put .exe files in plug-ins.
