I cannot find the "heal-selection-tool"

[joppla]

Hello,

I am not very familiair to GIMP, but I hope somebody can help me.

I use Ubuntu 20.04
I had GIMP 2.10.18
I installed the Resynthsizer plugin
I see now f.e. FX-foundry and Script-Fu

In the map with plugins I see the heal-selection-tool.py and other files from resynthesizer

But when I go to Filters>Enhance> I cannot find the heal-selection-tools that there should be.

That's why I updated Gimp from 2.10.18 to 2.10.34.

But still I cannot find the tool.

I is it replaced to another location? Or is there a setting that I missed anywhere?

Thanks for a reaction

See https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Heal-S...1#pid18351

Basically:

• The resynthesize code of the plugin is written in C, but its interfaces (Heal Selection and others) are Python plugins.
  
• Gimp uses Python v2.7
  
• Python 2.7 is no longer supported by the Python foundation
  
• Ubuntu removed Python v2 from the default install, and removed the gimp-python package that depends on it
  
• So your .DEB-installed Gimp has no python support without extra work (see link above for solutions).

Since you are using Ubuntu 20.04 (..and I still use it on a laptop )

Use the PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp - there are directions on that page to install Gimp, then there is a gimp-python package.

   

The gimp-python package is not a dependency, you need to install it either using a package manager or CL sudo apt install gimp-python

Unfortunately not true if/when you upgrade to ubuntu 22.04, then use the appimage from https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appim...-for-Linux - I use this for kubuntu 22.04 (..or maybe use a flatpak Gimp which comes with some limitations)

Just a note for linux resynthesizer + python plugins https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-2...1#pid11261
