I would have sworn I read that the developer had an agreement with the GIMP team to just put it into GIMP 3 natively.

Was I imagining things?

If you've never heard of it, it's a plugin that adds "Heal Selection" to GIMP that behaves a lot like the same feature in Photoshop. It's a killer feature! It can also "Heal Transparency", and the plug-in itself can be run manually with many more options. It works really well.

Here's the discussion I found about getting it to work in GIMP 3 under Windows: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/need-help-installing-resynthesizer-plug-in-for-gimp-3-0-in-windows-10/49019/2

In short, the files go into your app settings GIMP folder. The exe goes into "plug-ins" inside a sub-folder named the same as the exe (minus the .exe part), so; plug-ins/resynthesize/resynthesize.exe, and the scm files go loose inside scripts. The scripts will appear in GIMP under Filters/Resynthesize.

I figured it out. I have the community blocked. Lemmy is dumb sometimes. Why it will happily show me the post via a direct link, but not any of the comments is beyond me! Not even that comment I specifically requested. Makes no sense. It should show both the post and comments, or neither, and not this in-between, confusing state.

I wish I could say this was the first time this exact issue has happened to me.

Original post:

I'm using 0.7.0-1, and I clicked a post that had this link and Thunder said there were no comments, yet the website itself shows several.

The link is to a specific comment.

Incidentally, after submitting this post, I tapped the eyeball to view it and nothing happened.

Wasn't my fault after all. GIMP has a quick update to fix the issue for Windows users.

I tried both the "Hello, World" one, and the Goat one.

I saved the "Hello, World" one as C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins\py3-hello-world\py3-hello-world.py as instructed. I did the same for the goat one, but named it "goat-exercise-py3". I double-checked the plug-ins folder path in Preferences, and that's one of the two.

Incidentally, the code in the two files are different in regards to initializing the plugins. The Goat one includes ".py" in the call to init, but the "Hello, World" one does not:

GimpUi.init("goat-exercise-py3.py")

plug_in_binary = "py3-hello-world"
GimpUi.init(plug_in_binary)

I tried using the nominal shebang line included, and also tried changing it to an actual path to Python on my system. I can see GIMP attempt to load py3-hello-world.py during startup, but when I create a new file and look for it anywhere in GIMP, including the Procedure Browser, I don't see it.

I've made a few python plugins for GIMP 2 using python fu, and have had no trouble with them, but I can't get either of these demo ones to load. I don't even know where the "Hello, World" one is supposed to show with a menu path like this: "<Image>/Hell_o Worlds", so I changed it to "<Image>/File/Hell_o Worlds" like I've done for custom export scripts I've made for GIMP 2.

Any ideas?

This issue has bitten me several times. It was a problem in 0.6.0 and maybe earlier, and it is present in 0.6.1.

I'll make an edit to fix a couple of typos that I saw immediately after posting, and then I'll see something else or want to add some more context. So I'll edit the post again, but this edits the contents of the original post, therefore I put back in all my typos! (And lose anything else I added in my first edit.)

When it first happened, I thought I was going crazy and ended up going back and forth, fixing the same few typos over and over while adding more content! 😂

For a test, I'm going to edit this post to add the text, "first edit". Then I'm going to edit it again after 10 seconds to add the words "second edit".

Second edit.

Third edit:

Now that I manually refreshed, I can see "second edit", and when I edit the post, those words are there, but "first edit" is gone.

Here's a screenshot of my post immediately after adding the first edit:

You can see that it does not contain the words "first edit" at the bottom.

Same with making a post. I accidentally cancel making a comment all the time while simply trying to select text.

Like this:

I select some text and them try to drag that little blue tear drop on the left to change the selection and invariably just close the comment editor. It's so frustrating.

I have all gestures disabled because all they do is fire by accident, but I can't see any way to disable this one.

Here is a screenshot of it in action. I turned on the developer option to show touches, and you can see how wide the activation area is for dragging from the left.
