GIMP Resynthesizer Plug-In
October 20, 2012 - 04:30 — Tindomerel
I am trying to install the Resynthesizer Plug-In and make it part of the GIMP program. I need to remove the text from a picture I have of an animal in the ocean. When I click on the exe file of the Resynthesizer, I get the message that it does not work because the libgimp-2.0-0.dll is not found. How can this be fixed? I need to stress that I am not a techie and don't understand most of the terminology I have read on the blogs, so can someone explain it in layman's language, thank you.
I need to know how to fix the problem and how to download and install the Resynthesizer Plug-In and make it a part of the GIMP program.
I am using Windows Vista Home Basic Version 6.0., 32-bit system.
Thank you.

A plugin isn't a reallly a "stand-alone" executable
A plugin doesn't work by merely clicking on it. Once it's properly installed, and Gimp is restarted, it appears as an additional menu entry somewhere in the Gimp menus (read the plugin documentation to know where)
Normally a simple plugin is installed by copyin,g it to the Gimp plugin directory (on Windows, something like "C:\Program Files\Gimp\lib\gimp/2.0\plug-ins). The resynthetizer may be a bit more complex to install, but it seems it comes with a dedicated installation program. Asking in the propoer thread could help: http://registry.gimp.org/node/25219.
re: GIMP Resynthesizer Plug-in
Not sure if this fixes it, as this is common on Linux systems as well.
If you can find any libgimp-2???.dll copy it with the name libgimp-2.0-0.dll or put the libgimp-2.0-0.dll in with the rest of your windows' dlls. (i.e. C:\WINDOWS\system32) Hopefully its backwards compatible with the plug-in.
Many authors cross compile from linux systems for Windows and while not realizing they have done so, inadvertently already added the missing dll in the name state the app is looking for. What I have learned is, before one provides apps to the general public one should try their release on a bare Windows machine less they become a source inflamed.
