GIMP X11 Cursor Plugin???

**ohnonot** · December 24th, 2012

Hello,
i read it's possible to import, edit and create xcursor themes with the gimp.
I also read it's included in 2.8 (which i'm using now) but i can't find it anywhere!
i also tried downloading & installing it from here, and get this message:

Code:

dpkg: error processing 95308-gimp-xmc_2.0.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-xmc', which is also in package gimp 2.8.2-2

can someone help, please? thanks.

ps: my system is 64bit.

thanks!
this is what i get:

Code:

sudo dpkg -r 95308-gimp-xmc_2.0.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[sudo] password for me: 
dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, 
not by quoting the names of the files they come in

me@computer:~$ sudo dpkg -r gimp-xmc
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove gimp-xmc which isn't installed
me@computer:~$ sudo dpkg -r file-xmc
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove file-xmc which isn't installed

also i can't find it in synaptic nor anywhere else.

afaik, it's part of the default gimp installation.

it seems to be a plugin to open x11 cursor files.

i was thinking of a more complete solution that allows me to easily open, modify and save complete cursor themes.

unless i'm missing something really obvious in gimp.
also "file-xmc" does not show up in the plugin browser.

ok do this

Code:

sudo -i
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
apt-get update

then try again .

nope, still the same as in post #1.
i guess there's no magic cursor-theme-create-plugin after all, just a plugin to import graphics from cursor files....

wasn't there a standalone prog?
gursorcreate or sth? if so, it's not in the repos...
