How to make plugin active without image - snapzilla - 10-02-2020
GIMP 2.10.2 (revision 1)
Windows 10
I have written a plugin in Python that iteratively merges a sequence of image files creating an output image of each iteration.
When I launch GIMP the plugin appears in the menu as expected but it is greyed-out. If I open an image file the plugin becomes usable.
How do I get GIMP to activate the plugin at launch time without the need to open a random image file?

Just remove the PF_IMAGE parameter (and any PF_DRAWABLE) from the parameters list and set the image type parameter to an empty string.

Many thanks.
Had been googling and searching for that fix for days.
