Plugins can go in a folder with the same name as the plugin Example Canny.exe in a folder Canny
In my opinion this does not make much sense for single file plugins. The popular resynthesizer.exe and resynthesizer-gui.exe each need their own folders.

You can see examples of plugin-in-folder in the system C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

It does make more sense if the plugin has dependencies, for example the gmic plugin which has about 60 .dll dependencies + a couple of sub-folders.

The plugin-in-folder will be mandatory in Gimp 3

Do you need to add the path to these in the new Gimp Edit -> Preferences -> Folders ? It might be a portable drive path issue.

Well I'm still trying to find a solution to the problem I commented on https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Flicke...6#pid29956

Samj provided me with a .bat to make it easier to update my version 2.10.28 to version 2.10.32. But the problem persisted. Then she/he gave me another instruction:

This was toilful, as with each removal I had to reopen Gimp and do the verification test.

I noticed some difference when I removed the plugins and scripts personal folders. So I thought I might be installing these files incorrectly.

However, the biggest difference is when I run Gimp via gimp.exe and not via gimp_eng.exe.

Running Gimp through gimp.exe the whole problem disappears.
