You'll need to restart GIMP for it to pick up a new plug-in.  Once it
appears you can edit it, as long as the menu item hasn't changed.

The "proc_name" must be unique - this is defined in the "register" function.

If there's a syntax error, the plug-in won't load.


Start GIMP in a command terminal to catch start-up errors.
