That is the place for user-specific plugins. For system-wide
plugins try /usr/lib/gimp-2.0/plug-ins. Things like despeckle and
destripe in the Filters -> Enhance menu.

For anything written with script-fu, just find it, install it, and
see if it works (a lot of things don't because they need to be
changed for 2.10). I guess python scripts are similar. Unfortunately
there is no successor to the registry.
But for g'mic, you need to compile it and nowadays it needs Qt5.
When I build it (my current version is 2.4.5 which I expect is now
quite old) I only build the plugin (the deps for the other variants
such as command-line are more extensive - see e.g. the Arch (AUR)
script for some more details if you need them.
For gimp-qt the deps include Qt5 (qmake - perhaps only the base part
of qt5 with development files if your distro offers that) and
therefore cmake, fftw3 ("plain" and _threads libraries), plus of
course gimp and its deps. Apparently, 2.5.4 needs qt-5.10 at a
minimum : I'm not sure what version your distro offers, nor if the
latest and greatest g'mic_qt heeds a newer version of qt.
For 2.4.5 :
cd gmic-qt
qmake GMIC_PATH=../src HOST=gimp
make [ you can use -jN but much of it only uses 1 core ]
and as root
install -v -m755 gmic_gimp_qt /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
The first time you use it, you need to click on the box on the
dialog to download more filters - sorry, my current system is in an
earlier stage of the system build exploring various options in
CFLAGS etc, so I don't have the plugin installed and can't tell you
what the text for that option is - it's near the bottom of the
centre part.

If you mean it was too bright, try turning down the brightness - on
modern laptops which seem designed to blow out our eyeballs, in
Xorg (no idea about Wayland) :
xrandr --output --brightness 0.N
where the value is something like 0.7.
I'm old-school enough to not use a graphical login, so I put that
into ~/.xinitrc but I guess it should also work in ~/.xsession.
And the dark theme might also help (Preferences -> Interfaces ->
Theme) if you aren't already using it.

[Gimp-user] Gimp Plugins
Thanks for the response. I am running Ubuntu 19.04 64 bit. GIMP is version 10.10.10. When I navigate to ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins and run 'ls', there are no files that show up. In GIMP, if I follow the Filters dropdown menu to Python or Script-fu, there is little there other than Console/Console-Refresh Scripts-Start Server. I would like to install GimpLensFun, G'Mic (which I understand is a plugin), and explore some of the other offerings. I do not find any GIMP plugins available in the Ubuntu software center, and, as you seem to indicate, my online search returned plugins that I guess are for the Windows version of GIMP. GIMP 10.10 "flogged my eyes" such that I took serious notice of darktable which, in the first 10.10 GIMP that I installed was called as the RAW converter whenever I clicked on a RAW file to open it in GIMP. I am very happy to have become acquainted with darktable, but have not spent much time in GIMP lately. I don't ask you to do all the work for me, just point me in the right direction. When you say that plugins in the ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins folder have to be set to executable, I understand what you mean, but have never set anything to executable, so have no idea what I would be looking for or how to "flip the switch." I apologize for not giving you a better description of my setup in my original post, but would appreciate if, given what I have described here, you could provide a few more clues. Thanks.

Is that still the case? Assuming (big assumption) you have updated over the years and are now using Gimp 2.10 Generally, plugins either pre-compiled (binary) or python scripts, go in your Gimp user profile. The hidden folder in your home partition/directory ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins These plugins have to set as executable. The sites that list 'x' best plugins are mostly for Windows users and links are to Windows plugins. The python plugins should work (but not always), compiled (Windows) binaries, no good in linux although there might be linux versions. Where to get linux plugins? Depends on your linux distribution. Some binary plugins are packaged (.deb or .rpm depending on distro) many not. Traditionally linux users compile their own. Is this what your question is really about? Not always straightforward. Python plugins are widely available, depends on your interests. A search usually finds some reference. Give more information, Gimp version / Linux distro and if 32 or 64 bit / some of those 'x' best plugins and you might get some leads. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
