sure, the link was in the wiki page: “http://wiki.synfig.org/wiki/Doc:Gimp2synfig
I think this is the link to the file “https://sites.google.com/site/akhilman/synfigexport.py?attredirects=0

Looks like you’re not using Linux, right? In Windows location folders might differ from the wiki explanations. I’m not used to work with Windows in such kind of things so I can’t help much here.

Hello ganimedes_1 and welcome here,

You are trying to install a Gimp plugins (to use it for synfig…) , a little search in the web with “howto gimp python plugins install windows” give me :

[code]Just in case someone reads this, the python files go in your “plug-ins” folder, not the “python” folder.

There are two places to put them:

Multi-user location, depending on your OS, will be located in the GIMP installation library folder.
(example Win 7: - C:/Program Files (x86)/GIMP-2.0/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

Single-user (recommended) will be in your User folder under the hidden folder .gimp-2.6
(example Win 7 - C:/Users//.gimp-2.6/plug-ins)[/code]http://registry.gimp.org/node/25461
