Seem to recall a similar post a week or so ago.ĪFAIK, /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins is unique to a plugin built and installed using automake tools on an Ubuntu platform. Screenshot - resynthesizer / heal-selection: Resynthesizer / nufraw / gmic-gtk for example but many of the old Gimp 2.8 plugins work. Some of them I do compile in a 'buntu 16.04 VM. So at the moment my plug-ins look like this, and all of them work. Other compiled plugins might/will have dependencies which because of the flatpak ‘sandboxing’ need to be added. Resynthesizer will work without problems. What I did add was a more convenient place for resources, scripts, brushes, plug-ins as shown.Ĭompiled plugins are another matter. The more regular profile /home/rich/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ is there, but I can not remember if I had to add to the Edit → Preferences → Folders → Plug-ins section. The flatpak profile /home/rich/.var/app//config/GIMP/2.10/ was created (originally with gimp 2.10.0) but was empty, why I do not know. Sorry to have to refer to screenshots and your installation might have installed differently but… You can certainly add plugins to the flatpak - this using Kubuntu 16.04 and Gimp 2.10.2
#Gimp plugins 2.8 install
do I need a new libgimp2.0 as well as changing the scripts to define a new install location? But shouldn’t my changes to the preferences mean 2.10 would find the plugins for earlier versions of GIMP? Maybe I made a silly mistake.Īlso, anyone have notes on building plugins for 2.10 using the old automake scripts for the gimp plugin template, e.g. I suspect the build scripts need to be updated to the new install locations for GIMP plugins.

I also built resynthesizer from source and installed it. Anyway, in GIMP 2.10, I changed Edit>Preferences>Folders>Plugins and added paths to the old locations (something like /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins, which is unique to Ubuntu?) and restarted GIMP, but it still did not seem to find the plugins I expected (specifically, resynthesizer set of. I did not see that documented in the GIMP 2.10 release notes. I saw that the location of plugins has changed in 2.10 (to something like ~/.var/app…). It seems like it does not in my case: Ubuntu 17.10, I installed GIMP 2.10 from the official flatpak install, and installed the distribution package gimp-plugin-registry. Does GIMP 2.10 find third-party plugins installed for 2.8?
