Talk:GIMP/Installing Plugins

A special note about the BIMP (Batch Image Processing) plug in, installer for Windows
The new version of GIMP provides the users with an additional installation option, "Just for me" along with the default "All users". This option installs GIMP in the user's "AppData" folder, and if that happens, the BIMP installer, will error out, no matter what you do. Likely because (in my instance at least), the expected directory structure ("\lib\gimp\ \)" was not created.

I resolved it by uninstalling, then re-installing GIMP using the default option for "All users", so in "C:\Program Files". After that the installer ran perfectly, and it is working fantastic on my Windows 11 PC. Obviously, the generic instructions for plugins installation published here will not work. I have created a new pull request at the developer's site, asking for either a warning or an additional option for a manual install.

Thanks

 * Hmm... I don't know, maybe that's because this page is not a list of plugins, but howto on installing plugins. Soeb talk&#124;contribs 13:48, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

GNU/Linux
RTFM really should be the first piece of advice! One would think? Newbiegimplinux (talk) 06:23, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

On GNU/Linux, you might need to read the manual at the official site first under the section:

"1.3. Installing New Plugins" http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-scripting.html#gimp-plugins-install

In order to test the plugin
You simply test the plugin! Durrr!88.159.66.226 (discuss) 20:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * It would help if the instructions told the total newbie where to find the plugin once its installed in order to test it. SteveMcCluskey (discuss • contribs) 19:53, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed - I don't know where to find the plugin once it is installed. 2601:47:4302:2B60:E424:BE5B:8506:9B60 (discuss) 15:17, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
