Can't get resynthesizer to work on Gimp 2.10.34

Hi,

I downloaded the plugin from the github repository but I get this ouput:

Code:

How do I get Resynthesizer to work? Thanks

Look like you are trying to run in Python v3 a plugin written for Python v2.

Gimp python plugins must be run with Python v2, and Python v2 (and is support for Gimp) is being removed from major distros (Ubuntu, in particular), since Python v2 is no longer supported.

There are ways around this, see for instance https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Heal-S...1#pid18351

Note that in your particular case on your system the python command elicits Python v3 (which is why the plugin is run with the wrong Python version) and Gimp (and the plugin authors because the shebang says: #!/usr/bin/env python expects it to run Python v2. This can possibly be tweaked if you want to keep python as Python v3.

It helps if you give details of the linux distro you use and the version of Gimp 2.10.x (+ any other details, such as self-compiled / flatpak / snap )

You downloaded from the github site: https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer Then what ? Did you self compile the resynthesizer / resynthesizer-gui plugins for your system or get them from some where else ?

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I don't have python v2 and I made a symbolic link to python3 on my Debian 12. Thank you again.

Thanks for the reply. I run Debian 12 bookworm and Gimp 2.10.34. I just extracted the *.py files from the plugins folder in the zip file downloaded from github. I don't like Flatpak.

Yeah, I do not like flatpak either, but in this case it is probably the solution, there is a specific flatpak resynthesizer package

Those python plugins require the resynthesizer / resynthesizer-gui compiled plugins Compile them or get from another source. Regardless the python plugins not work anyway without gimp-python2 installed.

There is a solution using an appimage to launch Gimp and add python 2 but these are based on Ubuntu and MXlinux
https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appim...-for-Linux
I do not think the ubuntu version works with Debian but try it anyway.

An alternative solution is the gimp_gmic_qt plugin http://www.gmic.eu and the inpaint filter equivalent to heal-selection. Example of use here https://patdavid.net/2014/02/getting-aro...ware-fill/

The one for MX Linux should work on Debian as MX is based on Debian
But you might need to install fuseoverlaysf, if the appimage does not work (all is explained on Tas_mania github )

Code:

sudo apt install fuse-overlayfs

Thank you all guys, I appreciate.
