GIMP to Spine

Installation

• To download, right click GimpToSpine.py and choose Save As.
• GIMP must be installed with Python plugin support.

• If you don't have a Filters > Python-Fu menu, you don't have Python plugin support and will need to reinstall GIMP.

• Find your plugin directories by choosing Edit > Preferences > Folders > Plug-ins.

• Choose any plugin directory which has a green circle when selected and move the GimpToSpine.py script file to that directory.
• Unix (Linux, Mac) users need to set the executable flag on the GimpToSpine.py file (e.g. via chmod +x GimpToSpine.py)
• Users having installed GIMP via flatpak may find the plug-ins folder at /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/current/active/files/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
• Restart GIMP.

Usage

After installation, choose Export to Spine under the File menu.

It can be helpful to create a Gimp Keyboard Shortcut that runs the script. A function key can be specified for the action, allowing the script to be run with a single key press. A new Keyboard Shortcut can be set under the Edit menu. Just search for Spine in the Keyboard Shortcut window.
