Resynthesizer / heal-selection plugins for Windows

[rich2005]

Quote:Now I tried starting up resynthesizer.exe (console) by starting it manually in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
.....
So what do I think I learned from this exercise?
That resynthesizer.exe and probably also resynthesizer-gui.exe keep looking for it's required dependencies (DLL's) in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins , in stead of C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin

The only thing you learned (hopefully) is not to try and start a Gimp plugin from outside of the Gimp menu structure. 

Quote:...I then repeated the copying of the DLL and starting up process over and over, and ended up copying many files from C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin

Now go back and undo all that you have done

Quote:Can this be solved?

You do not need to solve anything. The resynthesizer / heal plugins work like this. https://youtu.be/RTuil4TgMNM  duration 2 and a half minutes.





However, with the best will in the world, I have absolutely no idea of what is going on in your Windows / Gimp installations.
