Gimp 3 support

[obriat]

Is this PhotoGimp is ready for Gimp 3 (or 2.99) ?

OS: Arch Linux
GIMP: gimp-devel v2.99.12

To expand a little bit on the previous comment for non-Arch users: on Debian I have installed GIMP 2.99.14 (debian experimental channel), cloned the PhotoGimp repository and moved these files:

cp -r .var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/* ~/.config/GIMP/2.99/

Gimp starts and the UI is PhotoGIMP'ed but will emit warnings because apparently the plug-ins that PhotoGIMP installs are in the wrong place, so I followed the warning suggestions and moved them. The plugins structure now looks like (not sure if it makes sense, I'm no GIMP expert):

$ pwd
/home/$USER/.config/GIMP/2.99/plug-ins
$ tree

19 directories, 20 files

Now at least on my debian bookworm GIMP 2.99 will complain onstartup (for each plugin):

/home/$USER/.config/GIMP/2.99/plug-ins/xxx/xxx: error while loading shared libraries: libgimp-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I guess I'll investigate a bit more and test if Gimp 2.99 works for real (besides starting)

GIMP 3.0 RC1 has been released (blog post): would be cool if someone that subscribed this issue could help and test PhotoGimp again (I might do it myself but just not quite soon).

I took some time to test PhotoGIMP with Gimp 3.0 RC1. Since I don't use flatpack I used the instructions posted in my previous comment.

Here some new warnings on plug-ins I don't think I noticed before:

Warning on gimprc value 'u8-gamma'

Gimp-Config-Message: 16:10:22.058: Error while parsing '/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/gimprc' in line 19: invalid value 'u8-gamma' for token precision
Gimp-Config-Message: 16:10:22.058: There was an error parsing your 'gimprc' file. Default values will be used. A backup of your configuration has been created at '/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/gimprc~'.

Note: unsure what is that for (code). Gimp will automatically remove it from the config (and backup the original gimprc). The warning will just disappear.

A few plugins in PhotoGimp are broken

These plugins:

/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/webexport/webexport
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/wavelet-denoise/wavelet-denoise
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/streak/streak
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/separate_import/separate_import
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/separate/separate
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/plug_in_lqr_iter/plug_in_lqr_iter
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/gimpmask/gimpmask
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/gimp-lqr-plugin/gimp-lqr-plugin
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/fix-ca/fix-ca
/home/me/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/dbp/dbp

Will fail with the same error because linked to libgimp 2.0

error while loading shared libraries: libgimp-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I didn't investigate further.

A number of other plug-ins won't work but I think that's not relevant to PhotoGimp
