I've managed to get DBP installed on my Mac (version 10.6.8). I've made the compiled plugin available on my blog, since compiling Gimp from MacPorts took an overnight compilation session, and is way too much hassle for folks who just want to plug-n-play.
[+Windows installer]; Apr 21, 2018 2 Only 7 blocking bugs left. The way I use DBP or Bimp is non-destructive as I write the files out. Using the Gimp flatpak (or snap) This version is 'sandboxed' and installed dev. PS: The tutorial referred to by Kasim dates back to Gimp 2.4. So it's at least 10 years old. I was not able to compile the source on windows XP professional. Has someone of you the capability to compile the DBP source for windows. Thank in advance!

Anyone is welcome to as they wish. If it's useful, please comment, and if it doesn't work, please comment; in either case if you can state versions of OS X and Gimp, that will hopefully help other users trying to avoid compiling it themselves!
Sudo apt install gimp-plugin-registry Installation seems to be successful, but when I restart GIMP and want to save an image using the 'save for web', this feature seems to be missing from the menu where it uses to be in earlier versions. The 'save for web' is my most frequently used feature in GIMP since i'm using GIMP to prepare images for a webshop. It seems that the plugin registry is successfully installed, if I try to 're run' the command to install, it says that the latest version (7.20170217-0x8ppa) is already installed, I really need the webexport feature so any help to get it working with the latest version would be great. You cannot find save-for-web in the menu because it is not there. The plugin name is webexport.
If you have Gimp 2.9.9 from the ppa then it will use the gimp-plugin-registry package from the gimp-edge repo. No webexport is included. Probably failed when compiling.
The package gimp-plugin-registry has not basically changed since Gimp 2.6 plugins both compiled and python that do not work, ancient scripts made for another era. About time it was dumped. My advice move what you want to your Gimp profile then uninstall the package. What to do about webexport. The attached comes from an older package, throws up error messages. The only function that works is exporting to jpeg and you can always get an estimate of file size from the regular Gimp jpeg export dialogue. Unpack it, put in your Gimp 2.9 profile /.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins, check that it is still executable.

For me, the save for web possibility is one of GIMP's most important features and should really me a default feature of GIMP - not a plug-in. I'm not an artist. But use GIMP for my daily work, mostly cutting out objects from an image, resize and 'save for web.
The save for web should be given high priority. My reason for installing the 2.9.9 is that it seems that the handling of exif data and image comments have been improved in this version. (, 11:47 AM)petter5 Wrote: Yes, as you told. When save to web to jpg, gimp crashes and must be restarted.

Gimp is built around plugins. Go and look in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ and see the number of file-(some file type) everything from file-aa through file-jpeg to file-wxd Just a note, no good complaining here. No gimp developers in residence Unlikely that it will be updated. If you go to you see the bulk is about 8 years old.
You could ask there if it can be updated. I once tried a compile for Gimp 2.9 but too many errors. If you look back at earlier posts, you see that png now has radically different modes and jpeg2000 looks like it has been dumped in favour of webp format. The jpeg export-for-web did work in that kubuntu 16.04, not working in xubuntu 16.04? It will be a dependency somewhere. Not exact but this was made for the people who could not get to grips with the idea of exporting: You can get a scaled copy.
You could ask one of the clever guys for advice on making a bespoke script/plugin. (, 12:28 PM)rich2005 Wrote: (, 11:47 AM)petter5 Wrote: Yes, as you told.

Yes, I know about webp format, and when it's fully implemented to be used in most CMS I would love it. But for now and mostly for several years to come, the webexport /save for web is a highly valued feature.
Sorry, I'm not a developer because if I was, the wevbexport plug-in would be high priority. I know GIMP have many very powerful features for artists and creators, but my option is that webexport is a important and valuated feature/plugin that should be updated.
