Doesn't work on Gimp 2.10.32 on Mint 21.

[oliverhbailey]

This plugin does not install on Mint Linux 21 with GIMP 2.10.32 at all. It didn't work on Mint Linux 20 either using GIMP 1.10.30 either. Are there dependencies required that aren't documented?

Today, on Fedora 37, this plugin doesn't work with 2.10.36

Not getting any error messages. Doesn't show up in the menu.

This is a GIMP in transition issue. There is no gimpfu available for systems that have python 3 on them. You need to use an earlier version of Python 2 and install gimp-python.

From what I have seen, there is no clear answer how to write working plugins. I also see that it may be possible to get plugins working in flatpacks and maybe appimages.

This isn't a transition issue at all, it is a problem with the plugin cheater script not being complaint with the newer versions of python. The tool used to write the plugin with was a cheater script to allow a non-python plugin to appear as a plugin. It is not officially supported by python and newer updates of the cheater script don't work. The plugin needs to be written as a pything plugin and not from a help script that makes it look like a plugin.

It is a discussion on GIMP forums, they say that you need to load python 2.7 on your system or install the development package for version 3 (2.99). Or use a snap pack that comes with the correct version of python. I have not tried the snap version to see if it does work.

This does raise the question of fixing the plugin and changing it to python 3 code which does work in GIMP 2.10.

The plugin could be written in C as intended by gimp.
