i just downloaded this archive and looked at the contents. the files all end with ".scm" which means they should be gimp script-fus. i am not sure how to install plug-ins on windows, but with linux gimps, you need to type "gimptool --install-script filename.scm" and it will install it into your home gimp directory (~/.gimp-2.2/scripts/ for me).

if you got your gimp from a linux distribution, you might need to install the libgimp-dev package to get this gimptool.

it does other things also, gimptool --help explains some of these other things.

i hope this helps,

In my "standard" Windows XP installation, .scm files are in: C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts

Just put them there; no installion needed.

actually, i was wrong. the cvs version of gimp is now installing things into ~/.gimp-2.0/ i guess until the plug-ins catch up with the version numbers.

GIMP 2.2 will be using the ~/.gimp-2.2 directory.

I must warn that wouldn't recommend that.

You should probably install to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\.gimp-2.0\scripts\

where USERNAME is whatever your user name is.

that way the script is installed for the current user only.

If you are sure you want to install the script for all users of gimp on your computer and you have the necessary adminstartor access there is nothing wrong with doing it as was suggested but I just wouldn't recommend it as the first choice.

Good point. In my case, it does not matter at all. But good to keep that in mind.
