Gimp Script: Hex Grid

[MadMikeD]

Hey Derio, this is a big help. Thanks!
As I am new to GIMP it took me a while to figure this out, so I thought it would be helpful for others to know how to load the script. After some research I found this link:

http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/install-script-fu.html

Next, I had to figure out where the script folder is located and then simply copy the script into the folder. I did that by going edit/preferences and then scroll down to "folders" and select "script". From there it displays the folder directory. In my case it was the following:

C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts

PS: using XP and Gimp 2.6

Thanks again,
Newbie Mike

Hi Mike!

I'd suggest you not put use scripts in the installation directory, as they will get overwritten if you ever have to reinstall gimp.

There should be a second script directory (along with directories for patters, gradients, etc.) under XP located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.gimp-2.6\scripts

(where <username> is your login/account name without the angled brackets.)

This is designed so multiple users can have different resources available, as well as when upgrading (say to gimp 2. they will get copied to a .gimp-2.8 directory structure without erasing the stuff in .gimp-2.6
