I moved all files to the ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ and none of them show up in the menus (i made them executable)

Same issue using a graphical installer in Manjaro Linux Gnome from AUR. menu items don't show

What Linux distribution? Do any Python language plug-ins for Gimp appear? Could be the issue that Python2 is no longer installed by some distributions. Issue # ??? for resynthesizer discusses this, says that many distributions have another package to install Python2 for Gimp.

I installed the python2- gimp package, and all is well. Thanks

I'm battling with gimp-python removal from Debian testing. https://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/21679-no-gimp-python-in-debian-testing Anyone has any suggestions?

can't install python2-gimp on manjaro linux, the package is even marked as orphaned.

edit : downgrading autoconf to v69 worked for me

MrCsabaToth: I recommend using flatpak'd GIMP and resynthesizer. Install flatpak. Then "flatpak search gimp" will list both the latest GIMP and Resynthesizer flatpaks (and other GIMP plugins that are flatpak'd.)

mirsella: that issue is with the GIMP build system. It seems the GIMP build system has build scripts that are not updated for the latest autoconf.

For anyone else reading this, Resynthesizer's plugins are Python2. Since Jan. 2020, many distributions are no longer building a Python to go with GIMP ( usually called the python-gimp or python2-gimp package) so if you get GIMP from your distribution's package, it won't support any Python plugins such as resynthesizer. However, gimp.org is still supporting building Python2 to go with GIMP 2.10.xx, and gimp.org distributes GIMP with Python support in a flatpak, and also there are many flatpak'd GIMP plugins on flathub. The gimp.org recommends using flatpak's.

You could also build GIMP and resynthesizer yourself, choosing the option to build Python support for GIMP.

But you will not be able to install GIMP from most distributions, and then only build resynthesizer, since the GIMP from your distribution will probably not support Python2.
