.txt   Verbose listing starting Gimp.txt (Size: 49.48 KB / Downloads: 18)
OS Windows 10 Home Build 19045.5854
Gimp v3.04

The plugin ofn3-layer-tiles fails to register. The verbose console messages of the Gimp-start on this point are:

Querying plug-in: 'c:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\ofn3-layer-tiles\ofn3-layer-tiles.py'
gimp-3.exe: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): unexpected EOF

You find the verbose console messages in the attachment.

Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Works for me Angel

Otherwise:
  • Is ofn3-layer-tiles.py exactly 17571 bytes?
  • What is your exact Gimp version? 3.0.0, 3.0.2, 3.0.4? Other?
  • If you go to Help > Procedure browser and search for ofn3 do you see ofn3-join-tiles?

Huh

Did you delete or as a minimum re-name your Gimp user profile. ? 
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0

Reinstalling rarely does any good. I have found Gimp is very good at finding old settings without a complete purge.

For the installation, Are the python files in their own folder in your plug-ins folder ?
-----------
Edit: from your previous post Querying plug-in: 'c:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\ofn3-layer-tiles\ofn3-layer-tiles.py'
Should work but never a good idea to install in your Gimp system folders. Use your Gimp User profile.
Another Edit: From your txt file.
Querying plug-in: 'c:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\ofn3-export-layers\ofn3-export-layers.png'
GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "ofn3-export-layers.png"
(c:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\ofn3-export-layers\ofn3-export-layers.png)
png's in your plugins folder ??? Time to delete that ofn3-export-layers folder and start again in your User profile.
-----------------

   

Still not showing, Is python installed ? 

   

That is a Win11 / Gimp 3.0.4 ,  obviously working here so difficult to give advice.

The presence of the PNG is normal, it is distributed with the script, and is used thus:

   

What is not normal is that Gimp tries to execute it. However, this shouldn't have any impact on the other one.

Your plugin directory contents should look like this:


ofn3-layer-tiles
├── Doc
│   ├── ofn3-layer-tiles.html
│   └── ofn3-layer-tiles.md
├── gimphelpers.py
├── ofn3-layer-tiles.py
└── __pycache__
    └── gimphelpers.cpython-312.pyc

  • Make sure you have gimphelpers.py
  • the Doc directpry is optional
  • The __pycache__ directory is created automatically. Normally if it cannot be created (lack of write privileges) this doesn't prevent execution (but the module will be recompiled each time you use the script). If it's not there try to install the script in your use profile plug-ins directory
