Presuming that the content of the plug-ins folder is as described in my previous mail. Here is a screen snapshot of my preferences
I only have the first two. How do I get the third?
the third line is from my test environment, not necessary for you
So my preferences are correct, than? How come GMIC is not working?
Good question! I don’t know.
I would now
- delete the folder ~/Library/Applications Support/GIMP/2.10
- start Gimp-2.10 and quit it
- recopy the gmic plugin from tgz file to plug-ins/
- sart Gimp.
Just before , you could show me your actual content of the plug-ins folder!
Preferences Gimp 2.10 says the plug-in folder is located in:
Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
But there is no plug-in folder in Gimp 2.10 when I look it up in Finder.
So do I create a plug-in folder AND do I just copy the gmic_gimp_qt file or everything in the extracted tgz file (the entire GMIC folder)?
Hmm, after deletion of ~/Library/Applications Support/GIMP/2.10 and start of Gimp-2.10 all necessary folder should be created, hence no handmade folder creation!
Download the latest plugin built! The content of this tgz file including the GMIC folder has to be copied into …/plug-ins/
After that Gimp has to be restarted!
The link you gave isn’t the last version? What is then?
Hmm, it is the latest prerelease with all necessary libraries (in folder GMIC). You should try it
Possibly the latest stable version works only with gimp 2.10.8, I don’t know.
I’ve already tried this version… also a no-go.
If you don’t know, who does?
Good question, no idea!
My next step would be to start gimp from terminal to get the log during start:
In Terminal type
/Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/MacOS/gimp
and look where the plugin crashes
I don’t know how to start Gimp from terminal…
cmd space/Spotlight Search: Terminal
Start Terminal
Type the line
/Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/MacOS/gimp carriage-return
This is the result (some of it is in Dutch):

There is no gmic plugin in your plugin path!
Show me
ls -l ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/
In Terminal it says:
No such file or directory
Try this please
ls -l “~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/”
or better
ls -l “/Users/youraccount/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/”
Apparently this new user can only create a limited amount replies on his first day. I’m sorry for my late response…
So… in Terminal for the first line:
ls: Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/”: No such file or directory
ls: “~/Library/Application: No such file or directory
For the second line:
ls: Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/”: No such file or directory
ls: “/Users/youraccount/Library/Application: No such file or directory
Ok HHJT,
Terminal use can be tricky. Still how did you manage to copy the plugin into the hidden folder Library?
Lets try without Terminal:
Open Finder Menu Goto…-> Entry Goto Folder… and type “~/Library”! (tilde ~ is “Option N”, backslash \ is “Option Shift 7” not necessary here, at least on my keyboard)
Open “Application Support → GIMP → 2.10 → plug-ins” by clicking and tell me what is there stored! That is the place to copy the unpacked content of the gmic plugin tgz file! (listed in an earlier mail)

Again, there is no plug-in folder in the my Gimp 2.10 folder. Do I need to create it?
