I downloaded the file from one of the original messages as it appeared in my browser, and placed it in Kate with the filename gimp_plug-in_file and I did a diff between that and the save-export-clean.py file that I downloaded iaw the directions, as I said. diff reports that the files are identical. I also restarted the computer from a warm start and rebooted the system and tried the whole thing again. No change.

Hi OK, if you open a terminal and start gimp from there, any error messages appearing?
OPened the program via kdesu gimp--gave the root password--Gimp came up, now with the 3 panels, which it hasn't done from the PC menu. But no error messages, and no "save/export clean" either.
What version of Gimp is in your PCLinuxOS install? The directory to place your plug-ins in is specific to your Gimp install version. The instructions I provided were valid only for Gimp 2.8 with openSUSE 12.3. If PCLinuxOS is using some other version of Gimp or names the .gimp<version> directory differently, you will have to adapt the steps accordingly. Why.. why would you run Gimp as root? That's not a good idea.. and totally unnecessary. The reason Gimp came up with 3 panels is because you launched it as root, and it defaulted back to the original default settings (3 panel vs 1 window). Simplified more generic instructions: 1. Exit Gimp 2. Copy the Python plugin to .gimp<version>/plug-ins (or whatever the "dot" directory is in your User home for your version of Gimp) 3. Make the Python script executable 4. Start Gimp The new menu item will be File > Save/Export Clean C. -- openSUSE 12.3 x86_64, KDE 4.10 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
