How to install plugins/scripts in folders?
#7
One difficulty with samj's portable is there is no way of opening a terminal when starting with one of the launchers, but they are needed to set the Gimp environment, paths etc. No way to see error messages.

I know in the past you have moved your whole User Profile over between installations. From what I see, on first run of Gimp it adds to the Preferences folder your specific settings - those xxxrc files. In particular pluginrc which holds the plugin registrations.
samj provides a clean.bat which removes all those xxxrc files but sometimes deleting pluginrc, start Gimp and let Gimp re-register your plugins helps. https://i.imgur.com/M9BVxD4.jpg

It might be time to reset your additional plugins and scripts. I do not see why anything that works in Gimp 2.10.30 should not work in Gimp 2.10.32 Adding one plugin at a time is very safe but should not be necessary.

A simple set-up, an 'extras' folder with sub-folders for plugins and scripts placed in the Preferences tree and added to the folders paths must work (mustn't it ?) https://i.imgur.com/xI4t7A7.jpg Filled a plugins folder with old and dubious plugins, they work no problem.

One problem might be that sync application you started using, might scramble things. I am a great believer in having 'extra' resorce folders in a more convenient place but when it comes moving plugins / scripts in and out, I do go back to a two-window file manager.

Looking at your animations, I have know idea why the layer dock refreshes slowly. Icons are large, is it the same with small icons ?
