"plug-ins must be installed in subdirectories"

[Nosserkrasser]

First, thank you for your hard work bringing this plugin to Gimp.

I followed the installation guide and got it to work. But after restarting my computer, ML no longer shows up in the menu, and when I start Gimp from the terminal I get the following messages:

Skipping potential plug-in '/home/username/gimpenv3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gimpml/plugins/init.py': plug-ins must be installed in subdirectories.
Skipping potential plug-in '/home/username/gimpenv3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gimpml/plugins/plugin_utils.py': plug-ins must be installed in subdirectories.

Any ideas what that means and how to fix it?

OS: Manjaro Linux
Gimp 2.99.12

I had the same issue. Resolved after downgrading to Gimp version 2.99.6. Download links as follow
Windows users can use this link for GIMP installation: https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v2.99/windows/gimp-2.99.6-setup.exe

Thank you :-) I'll give that a try.

I downgraded to 2.99.6 on windows. It did not get rid of this error, but it added new errors. GIMP-ML appears in the Layer menu, but running any part of it causes an error that says "inference failed" and says to look at a log file that doesn't exist.

I tried both with and without gpu set on.

This is the output I get:

This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

This problem is related to changes in Gimp 2.99

Basically you just follow the pattern below for each plugin .py file. I got them to install once I made the changes but do be careful about tabs/spaces as python is picky.

def do_query_procedures(self):
self.set_translation_domain(
"gimp30-python", Gio.file_new_for_path(Gimp.locale_directory())
)
return ["superresolution"]

To this:

def do_query_procedures(self):
return ["superresolution"]

def do_set_i18n(self, procname):
return True, 'gimp30-python', None

I did all that, every call still failed.

This worked for me.

...there are two places the plugins will appear:
~/gimpenv3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gimpml/plugins
and
~/GIMP-ML/gimpml/plugins

The error disappeared and GIMP-ML was added to the layout menu after I made the changes to ~/gimpenv3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gimpml/plugins path.

Thanks a lot!
With spaces, no tabs!
Worked for me
