Resynthesizer Plugin for Mac

Question

Body

GIMP is NOT recognising or reading the Resynthesizer Plugin on my macOS Ventura 13.2.1. I followed every instructions and when I checked: Filters > Enhance, it never appears.

Is there supposed to be something under Filters, called a Resynthesizer Plugin Registry?

Can anyone help? Thanks very much!

Hi @4pastor 👋🏽

It seems like the Resynthesizer plugin is not installed correctly on your macOS Ventura 13.2.1 system. To properly install the Resynthesizer plugin for GIMP, follow these steps:

1. Download the Resynthesizer plugin: First, download the Resynthesizer plugin for macOS from the following link: https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/releases. Download the latest release available.

2. Extract the files: Extract the contents of the downloaded archive.

3. Locate the GIMP plugins folder: In GIMP, go to Preferences > Folders > Plug-Ins. Note down the path to the plugins folder.

4. Copy the plugin files: Copy the extracted plugin files (.py and .plugin files) to the GIMP plugins folder noted in step 3.

5. Adjust permissions (if necessary): You might need to adjust the permissions of the plugin files to make them executable. Open Terminal and navigate to the GIMP plugins folder. Run the following command:

chmod +x *.*

This command will make all the files in the folder executable.

6. Restart GIMP: Close GIMP and restart it. The Resynthesizer plugin should now be available under the Filters > Enhance menu.

If you still face issues, ensure that you have the correct version of the Resynthesizer plugin for your GIMP version and macOS. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the plugin's author on GitHub or seeking help from the GIMP community forums.

Thanks very much friend! I will try this, but, is there a way to use the terminal to download and extract the zip file, or does it have to be done manually?

Hi @4pastor,

Yes, you can use the terminal to download and extract the zip file. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do that:

1. Open the Terminal.

2. Navigate to the directory where you want to download the Resynthesizer plugin zip file. For example, if you want to download it to your Downloads folder, you can run:

cd ~/Downloads

3. Use curl or wget to download the zip file. If you don't have wget installed, you can use curl which is usually installed by default on macOS:

curl -L -o resynthesizer-master.zip https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/archive/master.zip

Replace the URL with the actual download link if it's different.

4. Extract the zip file using the unzip command:

unzip resynthesizer-master.zip

This will create a folder called resynthesizer-master containing the plugin files.

5. Now you can follow the installation steps mentioned in the previous response to install the Resynthesizer plugin.

Remember to replace the folder names and paths with the appropriate ones for your specific case.

My friend, Which of the two must I download for macOS? * Source code(zip)<https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/archive/refs/tags/v2.0.3.zip> Jan 9, 2018 * Source code(tar.gz)<https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/archive/refs/tags/v2.0.3.tar.gz> Jan 9, 2018

You can download either one, as both contain the same source code. The only difference is the compression format. I recommend downloading the Source code (zip) as it's more common and macOS natively supports unzipping .zip files.

Here's the download command for the Source code (zip):

curl -L -o resynthesizer-2.0.3.zip https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/archive/refs/tags/v2.0.3.zip

After downloading, extract the zip file using the unzip command:

unzip resynthesizer-2.0.3.zip

This will create a folder called resynthesizer-2.0.3 containing the plugin files.

I am a novice in these things, but it seems everything went well so far as shown below: Last login: Mon Apr 10 13:59:54 on ttys000 ***@***.*** ~ % cd ~/Downloads ***@***.*** Downloads % curl -L -o

[SMelidoni]

I'm glad you've successfully downloaded and extracted the files. Now, let's move forward with the installation steps. Since you are using macOS, the default plugin directory for GIMP should be located at /Users/[your_username]/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins. Please replace [your_username] with your actual username on your macOS.

Follow these steps to install the Resynthesizer plugin:

1.Open Terminal and navigate to the extracted folder:

cd ~/Downloads/resynthesizer-master

2. Run the autogen.sh script to prepare the build environment:

./autogen.sh

3. Run the configure script:

./configure

4. Build the plugin using make:

make

5. Now, create the GIMP plugins directory if it doesn't exist:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins

6. Install the plugin files to the GIMP plugins directory:

cp src/resynthesizer/resynthesizer ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/
cp src/resynthesizer-gui/resynth-gui ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/
cp -r PluginScripts/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/

Now, the Resynthesizer plugin should be installed. Restart GIMP if it's already open, and you should see the new plugin options under the Filters menu. For example, you should find "Heal Selection" under the "Enhance" submenu.

It's okay my friend, the Resynthesizer is not a big deal. Thanks very much for trying to help.

Do you know how I can register on GPT-3? NOT ChatGPT.

[SMelidoni]

No worries, sorry we couldn't reach the solution.

You can check out the OpenAI Product Page and click 'Get Started' to make an account.

Make sure to review the API documentation and pricing details before using the GPT-4 API, as there may be costs associated with its usage depending on your subscription and requirements.

[4pastor]

Yes, I did already and it does NOT live up to the hype they have on YouTube about it. But, thanks again. I am now trying to see if I can find a version of BlueStacks that is compatible with macOS Apple Silicone. Do you know of any or any other free alternative that allows one to run Android apps on macOS? Thanks again my friend and JAH bless you!

[SMelidoni]

Fair enough, I'm not familiar with BlueStacks unfortunately but it may be worth looking into Android Studio as a possible alternative emulator for running Android apps on macOS, including Apple Silicon Macs.

However, just to note that it is more geared towards development and testing. If you're a developer or are comfortable with a more technical setup, you can use Android Studio's emulator as an alternative to BlueStacks for running Android apps on macOS.

[4pastor]

No, I am NOT geared toward development. I downloaded NoxPlayer, but it won't start up, for it is stuck at 99% on it's way staring up. I have checked out some YouTube vids that suggested running NoxPlayer in VirtualBox first in order to resolve that problem. But, I have a difficult time following them.

Do you know what I can do, or can you suggest a more better option for a free and/or open source Android Emulator? All I want to do is to be able to use Android apps on my MacBook Air Apple M1. Thanks graciously!

[jricciardi]

Hi folks! This is the wrong category for this topic. I've moved this to Programming Help

[4pastor]

OKay, thanks!

[AbderraoufAbla]

It's possible that the Resynthesizer plugin wasn't installed correctly or there may be compatibility issues with macOS Ventura 13.2.1. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Make sure the Resynthesizer plugin is installed correctly: Check that the plugin files are in the correct directory (usually in the plug-ins folder inside the GIMP program directory) and that they have the correct file permissions. You can try reinstalling the plugin to make sure it was installed correctly.

2. Check that the plugin is enabled: In GIMP, go to Edit > Preferences > Folders > Plug-Ins and make sure the checkbox next to "Resynthesizer" is selected.

3. Try running GIMP in a different compatibility mode: Right-click on the GIMP app icon and select "Get Info." Under "General," you should see an option for "Open in Rosetta." Try selecting this option and then opening GIMP again to see if the Resynthesizer plugin works.

4. Look for alternative plugins: If none of the above solutions work, you can try looking for alternative plugins that provide similar functionality to Resynthesizer. Some examples include G'MIC and Liquid Rescale.

I hope this helps! 🙌🙌

[4pastor]

Thanks, I will check when I can get back to it.

[4pastor]

Can anyone guide me to where I can start a conversation about Android Studio Emulator?
