Resynthesizer will not make or configure due to old libs (2.x seems to be needed).  I tried beautify and need 2.0 libs or gimptool-2.0 to make.   I think gimptool-2.0 was deprecated several years ago and it is needed for compiling some plug-ins. Only gimptool-3.0 is available, and it forces the rev of GIMP back to 3.0.4.

Pleased you are not using AI, the questions seemed a bit repetitious but is a can-of-worms Just a caveat, I do not use Fedora.

First thing. Gimp 3 code is different from Gimp 2 code. All those old Gimp 2 scripts and plugins will not work with Gimp 3, unless they get a re-write. Those fx-foundry scripts, Beautify compiled plugins ...never going to work.

Your Fedora repo installs Gimp 3.0.4 with that you can get gimptool-3 and compile for Gimp 3. Some things have changed, resynth for example also needs meson, see: https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer...rom-source.

If resynth3 and gmic are in the repo then it makes sense to use those. g'mic_gimp does compile but it needs several dependencies. These are listed on the gmic site (but for debian vesions). EDIT: A quick search and it seems you are out of luck with Gimp 3 & gmic_gimp_qt for Fedora. Looks like you are stuck with using a flatpak and get-what-you-are-given

Quote:Starting to wonder if I need to install GIMP 2.0 (or some 2.x) and try compiling the plug-ins, then upgrade to GIMP 3.2.4 to see if they are pulled forward. I did try downgrading but could only go to GIMP 3.0.4.

Not going to work. see above about code \ difference The easiest way for a Gimp 2 installation is use a older linux in a VM

Quote:gmic-gimp 3.7.6 installed and appears in GiMP 3.2.4.  gimpfx-foundry is 2.6.1. It installs with no errors from the repository but does not show up in GiMP.

Which installations ? gmic 3.7 is probably Fedora repo (latest is gmic 4.0 2) (EDIT must be flatpak version ?) and that shows in a Flatpak Gimp 3.2.4 ? fx-foundry too old - scripts/plugins never going to work.

Quote:Wondering if anyone on this forum has installed GIMP 3.2.4 and then tried adding plug-ins like Resynthesizer?

Yes but not for Fedora https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp3-...favourites

I run both a Gimp 3 and a Gimp 2 using a combination of versions. Gimp 3 from repo and Gimp 2 as an appimage. Most of Gimp 2 python plugins have not been remade and an appimage is one way to go. For Fedora this one might work.
