Plug-in Resynthesizer not Found (Big Sur)

[potatogater]

I'm new to GIMP and have read that the resynthesizer plug-in is an easier way of removing an object from a photo while maintaining the background so I tried to download it. I'm using an M1 Macbook Air running GIMP v2.10.22 and I've followed each step from Davies Media Design Tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiE-buxZij4&t=287s). However when I try to use the plug-in (Filters>Enhance>Heal Selection), a dialog box always appears saying this:

An error occurred running python_fu_heal_selection
error: procedure not found
More Information:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help would be appreciated!

It might be the plugin is incompatible with your macOS / Gimp 2.10.22 versions. There are reports about intrusive mac security issues see: https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-plu...ion/issues

Otherwise, are you sure the plugin files resynthesize & resynthesize_gui are set as executable. Looks like this in an old mac VM and old Gimp 2.10 (and works there)

I had the same issue, and it came down to the resynthesizer plugin not being able to start, as it was missing a required dynamic library: libintl.9.dylib 

The instructions I found at https://www.mattpopovich.com/posts/how-t...-mac-2021/ was useful for getting it all working.

I followed the instructions in the tutorial but it didn't work. I always get the same error: libintl.9.dylib missing.

(macOS High Sierra)

I had to reinstall gettext  to have libintl.8.dylib libraryto have libintl.8.dylib library. Now it works.

Code:

brew reinstall gettext
