XP: GIMP is looking for plug-ins, cannot find anything....

Hi all,

I did some "great" research on the field of disappearing plugins within GIMP, wiped out, my complete xp:registry and reinstalled GIMP version 2.7.1 form Jernej Simonic (wrong spelled, I know).?

But also old, stable working releases of GIMP react same here.

Nothing. No single plug-in: NO JPG, NO PNG, NO SCRIPT-FU, NO PYTHON-FU nothing appears to be working. Not even (save/load) anything other than XCF is doing anything at the moment.

SO, I do have a Firewall working (Zone Alarm) but even with ZA shutdown and GIMP restart, I got the same results.

Looking into my GIMPrc, everything seemed working fine, and when I start GIMP every little plug-in is listed and loaded (from console-view)...

Can you lend me a hand... I am totally stuck!

Thank you in advance, Andreas_P

Besides: System is WinXP SP3 on Netbook

Since the plugin are initialized at loading time i may only think to same old incompatible plugin left by previous version installed

If that just go to C:/Documents and Settings/ YOUR NAME/ and there just delete the gimp folder

Then reload (no need to reinstall , that folder will be recreated automatically

No need to be so radical, erasing the file "pluginrc" in said directory may be sufficient (il should be recreated) and will avoid losing brushes, gradients, scripts...
