I am coming here because i tried freenode/#Gimp and they were the most mean spirited pompous and unfriendly people i have ever tried to deal with .
"<dindinx> mortuis99: so you are being anoying for 20 minutes about script-fus, only because you are reading an outdated tutorial and only in fact want to save the current selection to a pattern? "
I am new to trying GIMP and didnt know what i was talking aobut.
i am trying to do a watermark on some photographs a friend whats to post and i cant find the Script-fu. Is there a good tutorial for this?
can someone please help me
thanks

welcome
open Nautilus, press Crtl - H (or go to View - Show Hidden files) and look for a folder called .gimp-2.4. If its not there create it (right click create folder). then in that folder, look for (or create ) a folder called scripts. That is where you want to put the file.

Hold down Control key on your keyboard, then press the H key. Is that what you're after? Or as halitech says, go to the 'view' drop down menu and choose the option, 'show hidden files'. Welcome :)

Seems not. Open a terminal and type
gksudo nautilus
You will get the nautilus GUI, then follow previous instructions.

when you first open Nautilus, you will (should be) in your home folder. Press Ctrl - H on your keyboard. Then look for the .gimp-2.4(or .gimp-2.2 depending on what version you have) folder. That is where you want to look for the scripts folder or create it if needed.
