Updating python plugins for Gimp 3 - NickJP - 02-17-2025
Not sure whether to ask this here or in the Gimp 3 forum. Is there any documentation anywhere on how to update python plugins that work with Gimp 2.10 so that they function with Gimp 3? I have half a dozen for calling the various Nik collection programs that I use with Gimp 2.10, but when I copy the same plugins to the plugins folder for Gimp 3, they don't get added to the Filter menu.

The version of Python used by Gimp 2.10 (python 2.7) is deprecated, no longer used by Gimp 3.0 (python 3.11 )
As you found those old plugins do not work, the new format is very different. Very unlikely that they will be re-written soon or even at all.
There is this for Gimp 3.0 https://testing.docs.gimp.org/2.99/en/gimp-using-python-plug-in-tutorial.html

Hi Nick,
Download this Python script (nickplugin.py) in a sub-directory of GIMP 3 plug-ins that you'll name 'nickplugin'.
That's all. It should work.

If using nikplugin.py, above link is a very first snapshot that have some bugs. See related thread.
