Hi,
I am running the 2.10.15 appimage of Gimp on Debian 10
I have Lua and OpenEXR support, and Darktable is in my path.
When I look in my gimp plugins folder however I don’t see the file-darktable plugin.
Anyway I can install this ?
I also want to be able to use the gimp.lua from lua-scripts/gimp.lua at master · darktable-org/lua-scripts · GitHub
I’ve git cloned the repository
I created a luarc file and placed in it the following:-
require "contrib/gimp"
I see the option to edit in Gimp my darktable export options, but gimp doesn’t open, I assume this is because the scripts doesn’t see the app image.
How to I call this script and get it to recognize my appimage version of Gimp?
What I’ve noticed in Gimp 2.10.15, in the preferences under Import, it shows the file-darktable plugin. But if I browse to the directory it doesn’t exist.
The AppImage is self contained. You need to put the extension in the proper extensions folder.
For the DT lua script, open it in a text editor and adjust the path to point at your appimage.

Hi paperdigits, thanks for responding.
I understand that the appimage is self-contained, but i’m not sure how I specify the path for gimp in the gimp.lua script. Would you be able to elaborate on this a bit.
Line 106, “gimp” looks like it checks to see if gimp exists, edit “gimp” with the full path to the appimage.
The better solution is to enable executable_manager from the tools directory, then select gimp and modify the path to the executable. gimp.lua always checks there first for a path before relying on the operating system path and the default gimp name.
I downloaded an appimage of gimp and tested the above instructions. It worked correctly.
