G'mic Flatpak missing in 3.0.4 Flatpak. - mholder - 09-06-2025

I have both Flatpak Gimp ver 3.0.4 and G'mic Flatpak. I am not seeing G'mic in filters-> anymore.

My list of Flakpak programs has G'mic there, and it is updated.

Also, the Flatpak Resynthesizer is also missing.

Any idea why?

What is your current OS ? Last time mentioned was some time ago - Mint 19.3
It might just be incompatible flatpaks even if they appear updated

Linux Mint 22.1

I am pretty sure it was working at some point.

I am well out of practice with flatpak these days, however If you have just done a flatpak update then you probably have a mixture of old and new packages. Both gimp_gmic_qt and resythesizer flatpak packages are there for Gimp 3.0.4

(1) Do a flatpak list and see if there are packages you need to uninstall. A new Mint 22.1 install looks like this

Code:

flatpak install --user https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref

(2) Gmic and Resynthesizer look like this
flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.GMic
and
flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer

I don't why my list is like this:

I removed all three of the G'mics, and then re-installed #3 version, still nothing.

RE: G'mic Flatpak missing in 3.0.4 Flatpak. - rich2005 - 09-07-2025

That is why I do not like flatpak's

I would probably purge flatpak itself and start afresh but you could try

Code:

flatpak uninstall --delete-data --all

flatpak uninstall --unused

then see what remains and install the new versions again if required.

Is there is a way to make Gmic and Resynthesizer work on the Appimage? I would be able to work with that.

I love the Appimage provided on the official Gimp website. In fact, Blender lets me link to it as the external 2d editor. (For some reason Blender doesn't let me use the Flatpak Gimp).

Of course Linux Mint is always behind in the repositories, so they still have 2.10 on there. I am trying to break free of 2.10 and all the scripts I use with them. But maybe I should get it and at least have my old scripts available.

There's just a few scripts in Gmic and the resynthesizer that I really need. Krita works fine with Gmic.

It is a little cumbersome to have multiple image editors open at the same time, because none of them have everything I need.

Great piece of work but based on Debian 12 - no good for compiling Gimp 3 plugins. Flatpak - sandboxed in its own little space. That is why I do not use flatpak

You can keep the Gimp 2.10.36 from mint. You could use this 2.10.38 appimage that comes with python for those older scripts/plugins.

..and for Gimp 3, you can install Gimp 3.0.4 from a PPA : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-3

Thanks Rich! The Appimage works!

Even better, it remembers my window settings, folder locations, etc.
