menu items missing in 2.10

[sam2332]

as the title says 2.10 breaks your menus, cannot get the plugin to load at all

Probably the plugin did not load properly. start gimp with gimp --verbose and look out for stable-boy in the output to get a hint.

Which Operating System are you on?

In my case (@ Ubuntu 22.04) using the flatpak as suggested in the comments on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69962119/error-importerror-no-module-named-gimpfu-in-gimp-plugin helped.

I ran into this too. The error (gimp --verbose) was:

Querying plug-in: '/home/gia/programs/gimp-stable-boy/src/main.py'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/g/programs/gimp-stable-boy/src/main.py", line 24, in <module>
    import gimpfu
ImportError: No module named gimpfu
gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error
Terminating plug-in: '/home/g/programs/gimp-stable-boy/src/main.py'

On Ubuntu 23.10. The issue is that gimpfu is only provided for python 2 (officially dead and out of support for 4 years!) and therefore modern(-ish) distros have dropped python 2 support in default installs. We're in this in-between state where the latest gimp stable release (2.10.36) requires out-of-support python2.7, and the dev branch of gimp has no official stable python api. So things are a mess right now. Really puts authors of python plugins in a tight spot.
