When you start GIMP, you will see it discover and initialize plugins, etc.
On a local installation of GIMP, you will see some Python stuff and (when the GUI is up) you will see:
- Filters>Python-Fu>Console
- Filters>Python-Fu>Console-extended
- (...and any scripts you've added)
On all of the PAF versions of GIMP 2.10-??; this has always been missing.
I had planned to track this down myself and give you a bug report with some useful information in it.
But many months have passed; and the short windows of time I have had to play, have amounted to bupkis.
This is a bug in the 32-bit version of GIMP which does not work correctly on Windows 7. Previously, our patches allowed it to. Once they failed, we transitioned it to a 32-bit and 64-bit app. As you're using Windows 7 64-bit, it will work correctly now.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
