For shellout.py (or other python plugins) to work it does of course require a Gimp python2 installation. Not there in Mint 21. It can be 'added' with an appimage.

Thanks for the information

I was able to get NIK to run standalong using a nik4nix.exe on Linux. At the moment I can't find the location I downloaded it from, sorry. I used wine to install NIK. When I say I got it running, I only tried define 2. That's the main NIK program I'm after. I like the results from Define 2, but maybe it's time to find something new. 

From https://github.com/ericoporto/NikInGimp I got the impression it could be made to work with GIMP but it's starting to sound pretty difficult.

Unfortunately your apps don't work on my Ubuntu 23.10. In any case I would like to have Gimp flatpak and manage the nik collection from here. I have tried other ppa solutions but they are equally unsuccessful.
