Sorry, no. Krita does not have scripting at the moment, and when we finish the current scripting support effort, it'll be using Python, with Krita-specific bindings to Krita's internals.

The native language for Gimp is C, by the way, while Krita and its plugins are written in C++.

Will scriping make it easy to make things like custom dockers and stuff? I still really want to make something like a pixel art plugin cause it's not really a thing krita is aiming for so plugin would be a good compromise! migh help me try to program again! I think that would be awesome O:>

Yes, that's exactly the use-case we're aiming for.

Are there anyone currently working on the scripting feature?
I think a way to easily customize and extend would add tremendously to Kritas usability.

I have several great ideas that I think I could implement as scripts but which now feels overwhelming to create as proper in-software features.

Well, right now scripting support is still being worked on, but it won't be ready for some time.

Hi,
After 3 years again - can we use gimp scripts in krita now. If yes how? Now we have scripting :) :) :)

Hi!
I might not be the best to anwser this… but, my short answer is: 'No' you cannot just use a script made for Gimp on Krita, or from Krita into Gimp.

Gimp can use Script-Fu (scheme) and, using the Gimp-python extension, python. In the case of Krita we use python. While both programs use python language for scripting (on Gimp using GIMP-Python extension), both programs defined their APIs differently. Also Gimp uses GTK and Krita Qt, which makes GUI tool defining quite different. (Perhaps if someone creates an interface to "translate" the script from one program to another on the go, but I think that would be potencially more complex than just rewritting the extension from scratch.)

For scripting on Python I found the following sites.
Gimp-python: https://www.gimp.org/docs/python/index.html
Krita: https://docs.krita.org/Category:Python_Scripting

Cheers,
