I like to make a panorama from a few images with Pandora.

http://www.shallowsky.com/software/pandora/

I copied pandora-combine-0.9.3.scm to the folder /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/

In Gimp: Filters > Combine, I see not the Pandora plugin.

Has someone experience with this topic?

.scm is a script, not a plugin. The instructions say to put it in your scripts folder which is probably /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts

I've never used this script but the how-to-use instructions makes it seem hard to use. Have you used hugin? It's in the repos. Here are some panos I've made with hugin:

Sorry for de mix between scrips and plug-ins. All types of files are collected in the folder plug-ins (.pyc, pyo..).

Hugin is a wonderful program that I will definitely try.

I wonder only in which folder I have to place pandora-combine-0.9.3.scm
I only had the choice between the folders environ, interpreters, modules and plug-ins.
Just to put things in order, I would fain know the proper procedure.
Other scrips or plug-ins can then aldo be used.

You are looking in /usr/lib64. That is not where scripts go. You should have a scripts directory in /usr/share.

If you are the only user to use the script on your computer you can also put it in your home directory at:

~/.gimp-2.8/scripts

Thanks dbg,

I was indeed in the wrong folder.
Starting from the Downloads directory, I give the command:

Code: Select all

cp pandora-combine-0.9.3.scm /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/


Now I can study the matter

If you are wanting something basic to get the job done fast and normally give pretty good results there is a kipi-plugin for gwenview that does an excellent job.

The nice thing about this is that it uses hugin/hugins backends to do the work, so you make make it save the .pto files and then use hugin on them afterwards if they need further work.
