Additional. Contactsheet does also not run in Gimp 2.8.20 for Linux....snip...
I did a video capture of Xubuntu (VM) + Gimp 2.8.20 installation + contactsheet-v2.16.py but it is horribly boring, so just the result. Exactly the same source for Gimp 2.8.20 as my regular Kubuntu 16.04.
The plugin does throw up some errors but works with a default Gimp installation.
Indexprint is a different matter. I get plenty errors and a strange 'permission denied' even though permissions are set for all users. Installed all the required files pyexiv2, libglade2, python-gtk (comes in with Gimp) and the plugin fails with plenty of Gimp error messages
unable to open file. Generates an image but it is blank.
Exactly the same setup in Kubuntu works fine. Trawled through all the installed python stuff on both, the same packages installed. First conclusion is the Xfce DE is the problem.
I modified contactsheet according the workaround: not working.
Starting Gimp -- verbose I saw too my surprise that contactsheet is not even parsed. Same for contactsheet-smallscreen.
Making contactsheet-smallscreen executable (I forgot to do that
) contactsheet-smallscreen pops up
Next what I did was contactsheet making not executable and executable again. Now it pops up. Very weird.
I have Xubuntu running with xcfe and Indexprint runs for me perfect. I will make a fresh installation with Xubuntu 16.04 onto a VM and try again what exactly is needed.
