Cannot make it to work with Gimp 2.10 about mdcolors HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you put a list of the plugin directories (Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-ins) here? Also, can you try starting Gimp from the command line and see if there is anything relevant in the logs?

I tried starting it from the command line, and it showed nothing. Then had a look to the plugins path and found this:

/home/jalon/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

Moved the plugin to ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins, and did not work, but now launching GIMP from the CLI shows the problem:

jalon ~ $ gimp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jalon/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/mdcolors.py", line 24, in <module>
    from gimpfu import gimp
ImportError: No module named gimpfu
gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error

from mdcolors.

It seems gimpfu.py was removed from the GIMP package. It looks to me as an Archlinux packaging error. I was using latest Archlinux version 2.10.18-4. Downgraded to 2.10.18-2, and now the plugin shows in the menu!

I will open a bug on the Arch bugtracker. I think this can be closed.

Thanks!

I had come to the same conclusion, and was about to post something to that effect. Though it is likely that they will close it as a "won't fix", because it seems a deliberate choice (see this bug report for Gimp. Anyway, closing this due to it being caused by packager idiocy.

Then the removal is deliberate, too bad!. No bug report then. Thanks for the info!

You might as well try; maybe if enough people complain they will revisit the decision. Maybe.

Well, they were the first (along with Fedora) to switch to systemd. I do not think they are going back on this...
