How to install Gmic plugin for GIMP in Debian 13 (Trixie) ?

Hi,
It seems that there is no more gimp plugin package for gimp in the new Debian.
I downloaded gmic plugin for gimp (for Debian 13) from G'MIC - GREYC's Magic for Image Computing: A Full-Featured Open-Source Framework for Image Processing - Download and extracted the zip file.

I place the gmic_gimp_qt file into the gimp plugin directory (either the system wide one, or the user one) but there is no gmic entry in the gimp menu.

That does not look correct.
You download the zip: gmic_3.6.1_gimp3.0_debian13_trixie_amd64.zip
Unzip and it is a folder gmic_gimp_qt containing the plugin gmic-gimp_qt and a Readme. The plugin should already be executable but check anyway.

Put the whole folder in your gimp 3 plugins folder. ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins

It works.

In a first attempt, I just put the file gmic_gimp_qt in the plugin folder, not the entire folder.
Maybe the README file should clarify this ?

Thank you !

It is a requirement of Gimp 3

A plugin newplug (either binary or .py or .scm ) goes in a folder of the same name without the extension.
