Описание: #AskDoudou #BIMP #GIMP #macOS #BigSur

Finally, a 100% working installation process is here. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install BIMP plugin or Batch Image Manipulation Plugin for the latest version of GIMP 2.10 on your macOS Big Sur or Catalina version.

With the new plugin update released couple of weeks ago, now it’s an easy-peasy installation process. This new release contains an Installer script file that can do the trick. However, we still need to do some tweaks in order to avoid any possible installation error.

⚠Note! If you are a GIMP user and had you previously installed plugins, you are safe to proceed with the Installer script file. If not please follow these steps.
-------------------------------------------
👉 Requirements:
1- Make sure you have the latest GIMP version installed: GIMP for macOS latest version 2.10:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
2- Download BIMP source code latest version BIMP 2.5 (+ MacOS) from Github:
https://github.com/alessandrofrancesc...

*********

👉 Phase 1: Missing Plug-ins Folder

1- Open your GIMP and head to: Preferences 👉 Folders 👉 Plug-ins
2- Inside ”Plug-ins” make sure you have the following Path with a Thumbs-up icon 👍 ” /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins”. If YES proceed to Phase 2.
3- If you have a Thumbs-down 👎 : this means that the Path doesn’t exist. Therefore, you need to create it.
4- On the right of the selected Path, click on the “open folder” icon. This will bring you inside the plug-in folders.
5- From the top right corner, click on “Create Folder”.
6- Give it a name “plug-ins” and hit “Enter”
7- Once done, press “OK” button to confirm your changes.

*********

👉 Phase 2: Installing BIMP Plugin
1- Once you downloaded BIMP source files (Link above), double click on it to Extract the tar.gz file content
2- Select “installer” script file, and double click on it.
3- Your Terminal Window will pop up, and it will give installation details.
4- If you got “Process Completed” Then you are good to go. If not check what errors you got on your Terminal window. (if you need help put this on a comment bellow)

*********

👉 Phase 3: Enabling and Activating BIMP Plugin
1- After installing BIMP plugin. Go ahead and try to open GIMP, you will get a notification, about “BIMP”. Just click on “Cancel” and then quite GIMP to proceed with activation.
2- Depending on your security, macOS always block unknown plugins and disallow those from being installed. Therefore, you have to “allow” plugin’s installation manually.
3- Head to your macOS 👉 System Preferences 👉 Security & Privacy
4- On the “Allow apps downloaded from:” you will see (“bimp” was blocked from use…). Just click on “Allow Anyway” and you are good to go.
5- Next, relaunch again GIMP, and this time you will get more options about “BIMP”, click on “OPEN”
6- And that’s it, BIMP activation is complete.

Briefly, GIMP considered as the best free Photoshop alternative, is a very neat, yet powerful image processing program, with loads of options, and plugins. But there's one thing it does not do well - and that's automated batch image manipulations. Basically, you can't really record a set of image processing actions and then repeat them when needed. Unless you got the BIMP plugin installed on your machine.

With BIMP you can apply a set of manipulations to an entire group of images! It provides an easy-to-use interface and a lot of image batch functions:

• Resize
• Crop
• Flip and rotate
• Blurring and sharpening
• Color (and curve) correction
• Watermark
• Rename
• Change compression and format
• Image batch process with gimp
• ... and almost whatever you want!

If you know of a better solution, or if you face installation problems, drop me a question or a comment bellow by adding #AskDoudou, following your comment, I will get back to you as soon as possible.
