Cannot Install BIMP to GIMP 3 - msindc - 07-03-2025
Folks:
When I try to add BIMP to GIMP, I get an error message that says:
"The installer cannot find GIMP installation by itself. Please click OK and manually select teh folder where GIMP is installed."
OK, fine. So I navigate to "C:\Program Files\Gimp 3" and select OK, but that triggers another error message:
"Error: Invalid GIMP plugins folder C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins."
The problem seems to be that BIMP is looking for C:\...gimp\2.0... but in my computer the folder is ...\3.0.
Is there any solution or workaround for this?
M.

No solution, because except for a few very simple scripts, code form Gimp 2.x won't work with Gimp 3.
There is a Batcher plugin that does more or less the same for Gimp3.
