Heal selection not working in GIMP 2.8.20 on macOS

Off the top of my head, may be wrong, requires further study.... yes, related, resynthesizer-gui should show the Map>Resynthesizes menu item. The PDB part of Gimp scans the plugin directory as Gimp starts. I don't know how the Gimp PDB recognizes plugins, maybe it looks for the .exe suffix (as well as .py) ? Or aren't the C-language plugins (resynthesizer and resythesizer-gui) installed in a different directory than the Python plugins? Or is it the "plugins" directory, not "plug-ins". I presume you are building it yourself. I have little experience building it for Mac OS X. Let me study some more...

Being on macOS, they don't have an .exe extension. The plug-ins folder was already there, also, the .py plugins are working in that location. No, I downloaded it from here.

You're right, I was just blue-skying. But you downloaded from a site that doesn't have Mac OS X executables? The executable (C-language, not Python) plugins must be compiled for the platform or the platform won't recognize them as executables. Try downloading from a site where the executables are specifically built for Mac OS X. The Python scripts will run on any platform that has Gimp installed, but the Python plugins all invoke the C-language executable plugin resynthesizer.

I tried building this myself but stumbled upon the same issue as in #23 :(
