there is a pre-compiled windows version of this well know plugin but was available only from a Japanese webside.
( http://www.geocities.jp/gimproject/gimp2.0.html )
For windows user that don't read Japonize ideograms, and do not know how to compile by source i found useful
mirror here

please for source code, versions for other OS, more info and updates refer to the developer page
http://refocus.sourceforge.net/

For some reason the freetype plugin, quite useful to edit text and fonts, was removed from gimp-2.4 , and many miss it Work well with Gimp-2.4 (at least on Windows OS)
The windows users that don't know how to compile by source , may found it here http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Lost-Found-Gimp-Freetype-...
ready to be installed

For source code , version for others OS and possible updates please refer to the developer side (www.freetype.org ) i'm just mirroring the windows binary because are hard to find

PDS/EDR format is the image format used by NASA Planetary Data System and by ESA Planetary Science Archives. PDS images from various space missions are available at http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/ and http://www.rssd.esa.int/index.php?project=PSA

With the PDS plug-in you can load images from these missions and others:

• Mars Express HRSC
• 2001 Mars Odyssey THEMIS EDR/RDR-QUB (RGB-loader)
• Mars Global Surveyor MOC
• Mars Pathfinder
• Viking Lander

Extends the functionality of /Export Path by allowing for the specification of attribute values (fill,stroke,etc) by encoding these into the path name.

Export path values as SVG file. Script assumes that the path name is an encoding of SVG attributes. These are encoded using:

_[2 letter code][value]_ where 2 letter code is one of:
- fc => fill color (SVG attribute: fill)
- fo => fill opacity (SVG attribute: fill-opacity)
- nm => name of the path (SVG attribute: id)
- sc => stroke color (SVG attribute: stroke)
- sj => stroke line join (SVG attribute: stroke-linejoin)  read more »

The plug-in loads common uncompressed AVI files into multilayer images. It saves multilayer images to uncompressed AVI. Audio is discarded, only one video stream is supported. Compressed AVIs may be loaded using mencoder to import.

This Gimp plug-in is a simulation of a streak camera. A streak camera images an object through a slit - thus getting a kind of "one dimensional image". This image is propagated along the second dimension of the image plane at a constant speed. The result is a picture of the time dependency of the object. The plug-in takes a film (multilayer image), cuts a slice of selectable width and position out of each layer and puts the slices together to the streak image.
"/Filters/Animation/Streak"

This Gimp plug-in splits an image into layers. The plug-in cuts an image into a number of rows and columns and composes a new multilayer image (film) of these pieces. It's just the reverse of the poster plug-in.

This Gimp plug-in combines image layers by attaching them in rows and columns. This is useful especially for films.
"/Filters/Animation/Poster"

This Gimp plug-in creates a new image/film by periodically extracting layers from another image. It takes one interval (number of sequent layers) every period. The number of periods can be limited.
"/Filters/Animation/Layer Extract"

This Gimp plug-in interlaces/deinterlaces all layers of a film (multilayer image).

interlace: The number of layers is divided by 2 merging two successive layers into even/odd numbered lines of one layer. You can keep the image height by dropping lines or double it and keep all the lines.
deinterlace: Even and odd numbered lines of each layer are stored into two separate layers. Thus the number of layers is doubled. Lines in between are interpolated or skipped (selectable), i.e. the new image has the original height or half of it.  read more »
