About using pfgimp in Linux Ubuntu #75

Closed pmo-19 closed 8 years ago

pmo-19 commented 8 years ago

Anyone can provides information about how to add the pfgimp exec. within GIMP 2.9 ? $ ./pfgimp ./pfgimp is a GIMP plug-in and must be run by GIMP to be used However this is an exec. file and is not alike other plugins located in/usr/share/gimp/2.0/ for Ubuntu. Should I have to compile / build GIMP 2.9 ? However how to get pfgimp seen / run by GIMP ?

aferrero2707 commented 8 years ago

The plug-in is for the moment only compatible with GIMP 2.9, and it only gets compiled if the GIMP 2.9 development libraries are found on the system.

To use it, you should copy the pfgimp executable to

$HOME/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins/

Further information can be found here.

Sure, however there is a git build of the 2.9 version widely available as an Ubuntu PPA. I am using it for more than a year, mainly because it provides support for 16 bit per channel vs. only 8 for GIMP 2.8. As well I intend to provide the plugin build in my PPA as a separate package. So in order to use it I missed the location for plugins. It has been a while since I didn't use GIMP though. Thanks for the details, however this is the user location, is there a global location available ? As well in which GIMP Menu does photoflow appears ? It looks like from your link it opens automatically when opening a RAW. There is no way to chose between ufraw and photoflow ?

aferrero2707 commented 8 years ago

The photoflow gimp plug-in only work at the moment as a file loader, i.e. it gets automatically invoked whenever gimp attempts to open a RAW file. There is therefore no menu entry for it.

I am not sure if/how it could be possible to select between UFraw and PF...

AFAIK the global gimp plug-in folder is /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
