Quote:I have GIMP 2.10.24 (flatpack) running on Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon....snip...Question: Has anyone successfully added the (resynthesizer) plugin to GIMP 2.10.24?
Not a great lover of flatpak Gimp seemed unnecessarily restrictive. Tried some time ago and discarded, time to try again, things have changed.
The basics:
(1) flatpak list Does just that, lists what is installed.
(2) flatpak search org.gimp.GIMP.plugin Lists the available flatpak'd plugins for Gimp. Used to be a single option, now with version options. To continue...
(3) flatpak install org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer Gives an option to choose the version. I tries both of these (for reasons later) This is the number 2 choice and says installation complete.
If that works for you, great. There should be a resynthesizer option in File -> Map and the 'heal' plugin entries in File -> Enhance.
Snag. Neither of the resynthesizer versions, showed in Gimp. I do not know why. (edit: I looks like it is a bug https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4208 )
A bit of digging and the resynthesizer files are installed in
/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer/x86_64/2-3.36/active/files/plug-ins/
Copied the files from there to the flatpak user plug-ins folder
/home/your-name/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/
Ten files in all.
And that got it working.
If you try this:
Which resynthesizer version used (1) or (2) ?
Did it work out-of-the-box ?
Did you need to copy the files to your user profile?
-------------------
Edit: Tried uninstalling the flatpak resynth package, leaving the 10 files in user profile. Resynthesize still working here
try:
Download the attached flatpak-resynth.zip Unzip, put the 10 files in
/home/your-name/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/
