I've downloaded your ofn-text-along-path.py plug-in and I've put it in 
my C:\Users\techno6\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins sub-directory. I've restarted 
GIMP 2.8 twice, but I can't find the plug-in in GIMP.

Can you tell me where it should be in GIMP?

I think I've used the previous version some years ago. I used it once 
and no longer remember how to use it. Could you let me know where to 
look for it and how to use it? Thanks.
