Hello again. My flatpak Gimp version updated to 3.0.0 this morning and of course the resynthesizer plug-ins no longer work. Can anyone help me. I use Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. They don’t work on the Windows version either!
For Windows, there’s a GIMP 3 Resynthesizer plug-in here: Resynthesizer for GIMP 3.0 RC2 Win64 • GIMP Chat
I can tell you it was a lot of “fun” to find actually a fork of that plugin that works properly with gimp 3. I hope that situation improved in the mean time and the plugin has an official release with gimp 3 support.
Many thanks but it doesn’t work. I get errors. (libgimp-3.0-0.dll was not found) (libgegl-0.4-0.dll was not found) (libglib-2.0-0.dll was not found) (libgobject-2.0-o.dll was not found)
I had the same problem, and it’s not too big of a problem if you are ok with a little CLI ! ^^
So, here is the general idea : on the Flatpak of Gimp, there is 3 branches for the Gimp itself & all of the plugins : 2-3.36, 2-40 & now 3.
When Gimp update to 3.0 on Mint, the software did use the “3” Branch, but strangely it doesn’t goes on the “3” Branch for the plugins, so you have to do it manually in a terminal :
- First, uninstall the plugin :
flatpak uninstall org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer
- Then install it again, but choose the Branch 3:
flatpak install org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer
You’ll might have to choose a remote flathub between “System” & “User” (I choose “User”), then it will give you the choice between the 3 runtimes, choose
“runtime/org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer/x86_64/3”
For now, only G’MIC, Resynthesizer & Fourier are on the Branch 3, I’m waiting personally for the BIMP one ^^
Many thanks saberwarthog. This worked perfectly!
Slightly off topic but the other one I’d like to get to work on 3.0.0 (flatpak) is “ofn-list-guides.py”. Any ideas???
@borebonn no problems, happy to help !
(So @Ofnuts is here ? I might have questions in the future, seems like he maintained a script I was using, but it might be too old… 2013 is quite some times ago now ^^)
I’ve installed Gimp in Appimage and for the moment I have no solution for installing Resynthetizer and G’mic.
If I install Gimp via flatpack, I can’t launch it from Digikam (also installed in Appimage). 
Yeah, I got a problem like this, but in reverse :
If I install Mypaint by Flatpak, impossible to get it to see Gimp in Flatpak too, but Mypaint in Appimage does see Gimp in Flatpak. (I should try again with the version 3 tho).
I’m guessing it has something to do with the sandboxing of Flatpak apps, but I haven’t found the correct tuning needed using Flatseal yet.
I think we’re touching on a major Linux black spot here. AppImage, Flatpack, Snaps are getting really complicated.
I think, that’s by design. Everything is in one package and can’t be extendet.
I think you can start flatpaks from the commandline like this: flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP Perhaps you can enter this somewhere in Digikam. Or perheps it helps if you create an alias with alias gimp='flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP'. (Not tested.)

Unable to compile Resynth Plugin for Gimp 3
(Manjaro Linux, without Flatpak or Appimage)
Aur package gimp3-plugin-resynthesizer-git is broken
Any ideas?
However, when Gimp AppImage is first launched, it installs the directory : ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins
In fact, I haven’t found the binaries for Linux yet.
OK, perhaps I’m wrong. Even better, if it works.
Run an appimage and it is a temporary mount as example : /tmp/.mount_gimp_36oZTrF/
You can unpack an appimage by running with the switch --appimage-extract as
./something.appimage --appimage-extract
Probably not much use to you guys, but for (k)ubuntu 24.04 / Mint 22 users this one might work. Just updated to Gimp 3.0 and does contain gmic_gimp_qt 3.5.3
@saberwarthog This worked for me! I could uninstall and reinstall GMic and Resynthesizer plugins for GIMP 3.0 flatpak on Ubuntu 22.04. Thank you so much for the guidance…really appreciate…
