List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:all (^;
I debated whether this should go here or in Scripts-and-Plugins, but decided that even if the answer is:
"Oh, blazes, NO!"
there may be others wondering if there is any GIMP Help for accomplishing it.
[I did find
this mention of the topic, but I am interested in learning What Specific Steps would be required, in the general case.]
Elsewhere I reported hoisting myself upon my own petard,
again.
@rich2005 pointed out that, in addition to a flatpak, user @Tas_mania has
addressed the problem by publishing a GIMP-version-that-will-work. And, I will go that route.
However, it is obvious--to someone as blind as myself--that, ultimately, all Python2 plug-ins will have to be modified to work with Python3, because GIMP 3.0 will use that version.
Q. If that is not wrong, then could ordinary, but motivated, users "somehow" learn to modify existing Python scripts to work under Python3--and presumably offer the variants to others?(I have an uncomfortable feeling that I am going to be--rightfully--flamed for this... I have next-to-no-feeling in my backside anyway from "prior encounters with dragons.")
