Hi,

You'll probably have to install the Layer Effects script here in your
.python-2.6/scripts/ folder.

No suggestions? Perhaps reinstall GIMP? Or is Script-fu not available with GIMP on a Linux platform? Unlikely, I guess. I've checked Preferences but couldn't see anything relevant.

Quoting mamboze :

Script-fu is installed (most likely); however, there has been no top-level "Script-Fu" menu since GIMP 2.2 -- all scripts and plug-ins are now placed in the menus according to their function, not what language they happen to be written in.

"Layer Effects" is a third-party script and not provided with the GIMP distribution. It is available from the GIMP Plug-in Registry.

In 2.6 all the scripts are in other places, mostly under Filters.

That is incorrect. Script-Fu scripts are loaded during the time when the splash screen is showing "Starting Extensions" with "extension-script-fu" below that. The "Refresh Scripts" menu is used to reload script-fu scripts after a file was changed without the need to restart GIMP.

Plug-ins and scripts are no longer in the menus based on the language used to create the script but based on their functionality. Most of them are located under the Filters menu.

For example, Drop Shadow is under the Light and Shadow sub-menu of the Filters menu. Bevel is under Artistic, and Emboss is under Distort.

I think these are from the Layer Effects script: http://registry.gimp.org/node/186

Did you install these appropriately?
