Re-Focus plug in failing

December 2, 2008 - 01:44 — Nevtiger

Hi,

I have been trying to download the Re-focus plug in via photocomix, when i try to run the download i get an error message:

'libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not found'

Has anyone got any ideas what this means and where i am going wrong???

On a positive note i worked out how to load up the Smart Sharpen Script and get it working - a first with GIMP for me............

Cheers

A confused Nev

Ok, When i press the

Ok, When i press the download icon on your site i get the standard Run or Save choice. I chose Save and point the Refocus_*.exe at the GIMP plugin Folder. There is no *.zip. When the *.exe file is in the Plugin Folder i can see it there using Windows Explorer. I have found that if i rename the *.exe as Refocus.exe by removing the long title it then appears to work within GIMP. I am a little confused about the *.zip file you mention??? Cheers Nev

that is not a installer,

that is not a installer, that is the plugin! just move it in one of the gimp plugin folders. (same for most of gimp plugins under windows,very few require a installer, most need only to be dropped in the plugin folder (did i miss to explain this in the comment and in a How-To-Install file inside the zip?)

Re-Focus plug in failing- fixed now

now is fixed, there is a additional reason to compress in zip or tar.bz the plugin files, most of web host had the bad habit to automatically rename the files, adding the uploader's name or code if zipped is just the zip to be renamed, that do not create any problem , but in this case was not zipped and the way was renamed was not acceptable by some computers again thank for the heads up
