Adding a Script to The Gimp (Linux/UNIX)

  1. Create an *.scm file with the script. To create a script you can follow this tutorial.
  2. It's recommended to keep them (scripts) in your personal settings. Enter your own gimp directory: ~/.gimp-2.6 or similar, the scripts sub-directory and copy the file there.
  3. The place in the menus it will be placed is set in the following command (usually a the end of the script): (script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-photo-scriptName" "/Script-Fu/Photo/"). This will place the script in the Script-Fu --> Photo menu.
  4. Then you need to run Filters --> Script-Fu --> Refresh Scripts command.
