I have installed V2.99.4 flatpak and can run this or V2.10.24 as I wish but not quite in the way suggested where you have to use a flatpak command to select the version that is to be run (beta or stable). If I use the command to select the beta version the Menu/Graphics/GNU Image Manipulation Entry always starts V2.10.24. To start V2.99.4 I have a bash script. I'm not sure that this is relevant to the issue noted below.
When I start V2.99.4 in a terminal window I see the following error message:
Gtk-Message: 17:32:23.772: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
So far as I can tell I have this module installed (file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/modules/libxapp-gtk3-module.so exists)
I have also taken the text for the Python Goat exercise and renamed all occurrences of 'goat' to 'goatee' and placed the file in a subfolder of the user plug-ins folder but it doesn't appear in the GIMP menus. Initially I made the mistake of placing it directly in the plug-ins folder and received a warning from GIMP - so it is looking in the user plug-ins folder.
The latest version of the python goat exercise script, as downloaded from the gitlab site, contains statements that it relies on Gimp 3.0 and GimpUi 3.0 - I have tried changing these to 2.99 since that is the beta version - this had no effect.
Has anybody else had more success in this respect?
I thought I would go through the scripts that I have written and those that I have downloaded from elsewhere and update them for GIMP 3 if I could (starting off by running them in V2.10.24 with the --pdb-compat-mode=warn option to report deprecated scripts). I have successfully updated all the .scm files - some run without a problem but many fail with the (known) error message about GimpObjectArray being an unknown return type - I think I just have to retest these when V2.99.6 becomes available. However, as noted above I have hit a problem with the .py files.
