The Kaleidoscope plugin?
March 11, 2008 - 04:34 — VVK
The Kaleidoscope plugin is one of my favorite plugins, as it's great fun for creating patterns. It seems that it has disappeared from the GIMP Plugin Registry though. I found it back on one of my older computers, and it seems it can still be found here:
http://registry-archive.fargonauten.de/plugin?id=5180
It works on Gimp 2.4.5. on Windows XP and Vista, so why has it disappeared?
However, I can't seem to make it work on Ubuntu 7.10. On Linux, do you dump the same .exe file into the plugin folder, or do you have to use another file? There doesn't seem to be a Linux-specific version available. :( Do I have to compile it myself? (if so, link to a tutorial please?)

windows binaries?
Hi,
is there anybody out there able to make a windows binary out of the kaleidoscope.c file? Or does anybody know where to get one?
I really tried a lot to compile the file. I installed the MS Visual C++ Express compiler, where I didn't find out, how to compile the file with it. I even found a gimptool package for windows, where all the essential dlls were missing of which I only found hints to other programming packages, where they should be included and so on. It's all a big f*** if you don't want to restructure your windows-pc to a complete programming environment, especially if you are not a programmer!
So please, help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
Works like a charm, thanks samj!
windows binaries
I had a backup copy of Kaleidoscope but as now i have no idea of where, i have some dozens of "back up" dvd to search within
But i remember that i was not happy with that plugin, i appreciated much more a kaleidoscope script to be used with MathMap (a last update of MM required some correction, but i may found the updated version easily)
And there is another K. plugin included in GMIC
Let me now if you want me to search for the updated MM kal script
I'd be interested in the kaleidoscope binary
PhotoComix:
I loaded the kaleidoscope.c into my Ubuntu and it works fine, but if you can find the binary of that same script, I'd be interested in getting a copy of it. Don't go out of your way, but if you do happen to come across it, please post it?
Thanks!
the source
its here. should work on 2.6

Found it!
Nevermind! I've found the way :)
Having finally figured out that "gimptool" is hidden in libgimp2.0-dev...
This works:
1. get kaleidoscope.c
2. sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
3. cd [wherever kaleidoscope.c is]
4. gimptool-2.0 --install kaleidoscope.c
Voila! A working Kaleidoscope plugin.
would you be the developer who maintains it?
i use the kaleidoscope a lot too. i'd appreciate it if you would add it to the registry, so i'd be sure it will be around in the future?
thx

maybe what is is needed
maybe what is is needed more a new more flexible kaleidoscope plugin.,i use a lot Kaleidoscope, almost as a tool, and i found this implementation of kaleidescope very limiting
I found better results with a Kaleidoscope script for Mathmap ,but that obviously require the mathmap gimp plugin installed.
there is also a excellent and free, but not Open source PS-plugin for kaleidoscope from Medhi.
It may sort of works with Gimp and PSPI, even in linux ,but in any case with the preview messed up, and that for me is a critical problem
