ofnuts' addon-on manager crashing in 2.10.2

[rich2005]

You got more than me. An error message. I can not get addoncollectionmanager to work in Windows Gimp 2.10.2 either.

Tried all sorts of permutations without effect.

this starting with --verbose

Code:

Those couple of plugins anitools/guillotine are working, so plugins do work, but looking in pluginrc addonCollectionManager does not register.

Went back and tried in Gimp 2.10.0 and it works there. Conclusion, something in the update. The only difference in python is the version, 2.7.5 is now 2.7.15

Even went back to the old MrQ plugins - those do not work either.

Edit: Just checked my Linux 2.10.2 flatpak and addonCollectionManager is working there. Yet another sub-version of python 2.7.12

Edit again:

Maybe nothing to do with why addonCollectionManager not working. Some comparisons:

Windows Gimp 2.10.2 in a 64 bit Windows has a 32 bit python installation. (Gimp 2.8.x also uses 32 bit python.Why? do not know, presumably to make the dual 32/64 bit installer a bit more compact)

Windows Gimp 2.10.0 which is purely 64 bit.

and linux 64 bit just as reference.
