This plugin installs and looks to have everything in order, but when you open up gimp (even after reboot) and go to filters\>Enhanced there is no “heal-selection” or other plugins from it to be found.

any idea how to make this work?

they are all located in ` /usr/lib/gimp/2.0.plug-ins/`  
 → I do not understand why it’s not showing up in gimp.

The issue here seems to be that the maintainer isn’t willing to add one of the dependencies. It appears that installing `python2-gimp` is required.

Of course, you should be aware that you are installing a bunch of unmaintained or marginally maintained software.

Lack of heal-selection was the reason I moved using GIMP Appimage. No need to install separate plugins.

But gimp appimage is really old (gimp version 2.10.22) and not maintained.

Actually, I’m using appimage GIMP 2.10.25 withplugins-x86\_64. It’s true it’s quite old, but to me is most important it just works.
