Tried for six hours. Could not make it work. Kept getting "abrView as shut down".

Hmmm...will this method still work in GIMP 2.8.6?

Ya, will it? I'm using 2.8.6 as well but I'm about to download 2.8.8 so would it still work there? :/

MacSpeedRacer In reply to ILoveULZZANGandSNSD [2014-02-27 07:12:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, no reply yet, so, I'm assuming they're either working on making it work, or it just doesn't/

Sorry it took me so long to reply...I've tried using the brush-batch script in 2.8.14 now, and in 2.8.6, and every version in between...unfortunately, the script is still borked...at least, I can't get it to work.Β  I don't know all that much about script-fu...so, I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to how to make it work...I mean, you can still do it -manually-, after you get the pngs from ABRviewer, so, the method does still work, just not the automation part of it.

No need to convert brushes anymore. Gimp vers. 2.6.10 and forward just load the PS brushes into the Gimp brushes folder like you would a regular Gimp brush and it will recognize it. Don't forget to refresh or restart Gimp so they will appear in the brushes toolbox!

ok, I did everything and I can do it all up to the converting by using the script-Fu, it says "Error while executing brush-batch:

Error: set!: unbound variable: a" What the heck does that mean and what am I doing wrong?

Heyo. Your and kward's brilliance astounds me, and i bow down in humility at your graciousness. however, I am using gimp 2.0, as you have suggested in your very descriptive tutorial, and it is having some sort of problem. I do EXACTLY what your tutorial tells me to, and then on the last step when i tell it "ok" to convert the pngs, it says...
"Gimp Message

Brush-batch message

Error while executing brush-batch:

Error: set!: unbound variable: a"
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Gives me this messsage:

RAR is a compressed file. You need to extract (decompress) it using some thing like 7-zip. You can get that at file hippo. RAR are one of the most common files to have viruses in them. You need to scan a rar or exc file before open them.

2.)I keep getting an error message when using the brush batch converter script-what should I do?

Error while executing

I have that problem too. And I know you can convert each brush one by one, but I'd rather use the script. How do we fix this?

I just open each brush, flatten and greyscale them, then convert them. It takes longer though

To those wondering "How to see it" I assume you mean viewing the pdf?

You have to click the download link next to the picture. That will link you to the PDF that you download, then view with your native viewer.

Also, nekomukuro, thanks for the info about Mono. Could be helpful, as I'm a linux user too. Thanks for making the tutorial, also! I'll have to give it a try sometime.
