GIMP memo

header-gimp-icon
GIMP is free software for editing images, and I tried to add some function by downloading a file called “arrow.scm

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp

Download and install as above.

nobu@HP15z:~/Downloads$ ls -l
total 283036
-rw-r----- 1 nobu nobu     11508 Jan  9 12:49 arrow.scm

And copy to under “scripts” folder for gimp directory:

$ sudo cp arrow.scm /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts

The file has been copied:

nobu@HP15z:/usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts$ ls -l
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  7713 Nov 22 13:13 alien-neon-logo.scm
-rw-r----- 1 root root 11508 Jan  9 13:06 arrow.scm
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  4840 Nov 22 13:13 i26-gunya2.scm
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jan  9 09:44 images

Let it be readable by changing the permission:

0	---
1	--x
2	-w-
3	-wx
4	r--
5	r-x
6	rw-
7	rwx

chmod [option] [mode] [file or directory]

$ sudo chmod 644 arrow.scm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  7713 Nov 22 13:13 alien-neon-logo.scm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11508 Jan  9 13:06 arrow.scm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3559 Nov 22 13:13 basic1-logo.scm

Permission has been changed.
Note: By some reason, icon is still disabled

nobu@HP15z:~/Downloads$ sudo cp arrow.scm ~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/
nobu@HP15z:~/Downloads$ cd ~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/
