First thing: In GIMP "filters", "plugins" and "scripts" are different things and are handled separately. In your screenshot, Resynthesizer and GMIC are plugins and can stay where they are. The files with no extensions that are showing in the screenshot are "scripts" and should go in another location.
From the folder that is showing in your screenshot, select all of the no-extension scripts. Cut them. In the location bar click near the top of the screen on "210". This time, select the "Scripts" folder and paste.
Back in GIMP, under the Filters menu, go down to "Script-Fu" and click "Refresh Scripts." [If you exit and restart GIMP it'll do this update automatically.]
If these are the Foundry scripts, some or maybe all of them may show up under a new main menu "Foundry" heading. Individual scripts also may show up under other main menu headings, "Script-Fu" or "Color" for example.
If the "Resynthesizer" plugin isn't showing up, you have to identify it to GIMP. Goto EDIT > Preferences. At the bottom of the Preferences window click on the "Folders" button. Select and open the "Plugins" item. Click the Plus-sign icon to all a new folder. At the other side of that navigation bar click the folder image icon.
Now you have to navigate back to AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins folder. IMPORTANT: You are not in the Windows Explorer while doing this. You are still in GIMP itself.
When you get there, the GMIC and Resynthesizer folders should be visible. Select the Resynthesizer folder and click OK. Its folder will be added to the "Plug-in Folders" list. Click "OK" -- DO NOT CLICK "RESET." Close and reopen GIMP and Resynthesizer should now show up under, I believe, the Filters > Maps menu.
If this sounds like a lot, it's because the first time through on your own it really is a lot. It gets easier each time.
THIS!! Thank you so much!! I was able to get everything moved where it should be, and the others added to Gimp. The Resynthesizer folder is showing up now, but I haven't been able to locate it in the program yet. I truly appreciate the walk through. It was very clear and I was able to understand it perfectly! I read the other posts that were suppose to explain it, but I was just not able to process what I was reading. Hope that makes sense. Again, thank you so much!!
Also, I'm trying to find brushes to download. Would I use the same steps for them as well?
