Flag waving
July 22, 2009 - 16:15 — Themroc
This little plugin makes an animation that looks like a flag fluttering in the wind from any given (single layer) image. This one requires gimp with perl-support.

What is Perl?
Is it a program I have to download in order to be able to use this plug-in? If it is something that has to be downloaded can someone post the link(s) where it can be downloaded from? Or does Gimp 2.6 already have it?
I like the effect by the way :)
Perl is a programming
Perl is a programming language.
If you're using a platform where it is usable within GIMP, you probably already have it installed. On other platforms, it will be considerably harder.
How the plugin should be installed?
I'm linux (ubuntu) and I drag the plugin file into the scripts folder but doesn't run. How should I install the plugin please?
How the plugin should be installed
First the plugin should go with plulgin not with script, so in a plugin folder.
But then this plugin require Perl so you should have Perl installed
Now... i never used Perl scripts so i have no idea if that suffice...anyway in the plugin's comment there is a link for a dedicated page, there should be explained what is needed to install it
How the plugin should be installed
I can't make heads or tails of this.
All I want to do is create a waving flag.
Please reply with the steps as if you were talking to a 6-yr. old.
Thanks
Step-by-step
Ok, lets try it... This should work for Debian and derivates (like Ubuntu):
1. Open a terminal window (a.k.a. "terminal emulator", something like konsole, xterm, eterm, ...)
2. Type
su -
3. Enter root password
4. Type
apt-get install wget libgimp-perl p7zip-full
exit
cd /tmp
wget http://69b.org/web69/dl/gimp-flag-waving.7z
cd
ls -d .gimp*
Now you should see a list of gimp versions that you have used. The highest Number is what you need:
5. Type
cd .gimp-x.y/plug-ins (where x.y is to be replaced by your version)
7z e /tmp/gimp-flag-waving.7z
chmod a+x flag-waving
6. If gimp is already running, stop it.
7. Start gimp
8. Open an image
9. Click Filters/Animation/Flag waving...
Hope That Helps!

It doesn't run in Ubuntu at least.
Why not?
Without any details nobody can help.

Sorry about my last post, I follow all the steps and then the script runs in Ubuntu 8.04.
A lot of thanks.
