GIMP 3.0 and 2.99.18 will not open .jpg, .png, .psd files - Ranger1951 - 12-01-2024
I am running MacOS Ventura 13.7.1 on iMac 21.5" Model 18,1 with 8GB DDRAM.
I had installed 'unstable' version 2.99.18 prior to installing version 3.0 earlier this week. I had no problems opening psd, png, & jpg file provided they were located on my internal HD. External HDs will not be recognised by either GIMP version.
Today, I downloaded the GIMP Plug in 'Resynthesizer' for GIMP 2. Following the 'Davies Media Tutorail', I installed the expanded .tgz files into the appropriate Application Support/Gimp 3.0 folders.
Since installing Resynthesizer Plug in, neither GIMP 3.0 nor 2.99.18 will open the above 3 file types, on each attempt displaying Gimp Warning windows stating "Unknown file type". A cumbersome 'workaround' has been to open the files in Graphic Converter Ver. 9, copy all (of the file on screen) and then switch to GIMP and use the 'file/open/create from clipboard' command to create a new .xcf file.
I have checked that the necessary file-ico, file-png, file-jpeg, file-psd files etc. are in the plug ins folder.
I will be grateful for any advice members may offer me. My email is <sylvia1913@rtutamail.com>: I don't know how to replace/update my member profile to negate the redundant gmail address which no longer works (another good one, Google!)
Sincerely, Ranger1951.

You said it, resynthesizer is for GIMP 2 because the python it uses is python 2+, GIMP 3 uses python 3+ thus resynthesizer will NOT work in GIMP 3
I would suggest to delete/uninstall all resynthesizer thing in GIMP 3 and clean the folder "Application Support/Gimp 3.0"

3.00 is a release candidate, so less experimental than 2.99, but still not fit for "production", especially if you depend on 3rd party scripts or plugins.
Inability to open files on external storage media is probably an OSX restriction for safety reasons (also happens with other OS).
The various file-* plug-ins should also be marked as executable to e recognized by Gimp.
