It is a question of QT compatibility.
Using 'buntu 20.04 or a spin-off such as Mint20 and a Gimp appimage then the appimage uses an earlier version of QT which is built into the appimage.
So you need a plugin which works with that earlier version of QT. The ones I compile are for this (from 'buntu 18.04 source), the ones from the gmic site use the newer QT hence are not compatible.
simple as that.
---------
For 'buntu20.04 (or Mint20) the default Gimp is 2.10.18 - that comes from the base debian that 'buntu uses.
You can add a PPA and get Gimp 2.10.24 - This is active and should update when 2.10.26 comes along. This might be an idea, since it looks like the maintainer of the appimage has given up. I hope he is ok in these worrying times.
The official gmic_gimp_qt plugin does work with this installation. It does come with snags. There is no official python support for Gimp 2.10.24 All those nice python plugins no longer work.
It is possible to add python using some old deb packages, see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Heal-S...4#pid18354
Not difficult but does need some understanding of linux.
