First off, I am not a coder, but I have been trying for the last year to convert a GIMP 2 plugin to GIMP 3, even trying AI and it simply just won't work for me. At my age (70+) I am really struggling to succeed with this task of understanding how to write a GIMP 3 plugin. Years ago I somehow managed over several months to write a plugin in GIMP 2.10 to do some basic repetitive tasks, like adding solid color layers with masks, in groups and set other various parameters. The first thing that happens in the plugin is the original image layer is copied and desaturated.
I posted here a year ago and Ofnuts kindly wrote an example showing how to desaturate the original layer. That code worked perfectly. I have tried for the last year to add to that plugin like trying to add solid color layers with masks, into groups and set other various parameters and have completely failed because of my lack of understanding and ineptness. Even AI has not been able to come up with something that will show up in GIMP3. I'm at the breaking point where I'm about to give up on using GIMP 3 and just go back to GIMP 2 so my basic plugin will work. I am back here now asking if someone could point me to someone or a website or a forum, anything!, where they take requests or would rewrite a gimp2 plugin into gimp 3 format. Any help would be appreciated.
I am really struggling with rewriting this simple task plug-in in GIMP 3 format...I can't even get anything to work or show up in the GIMP menus (nor can AI even write working code for GIMP3) even after copying the basic code from another GIMP 3 plugin example. I'll upload my GIMP2 plugin so you can see what I'm trying to do, but I am really hoping there is a GIMP forum group somewhere that would specifically rewrite code for us non-coding users. I just cannot simply understand how to write GIMP3 python code structure when I cannot understand the examples to do basic tasks like adding a new layer. Thanks for any feedback you can provide or direction you can point me in.
