I'm the author of BIMP and this is a GREAT VIDEO! Many thanks for helping people with BIMP for Mac. I'm not an apple user so the installation was not perfect, but I will fix it with your suggestions for next release! Good job 👌
Hi Alessandro! You've created such an amazing plugin! Thank you! I wanted to drop a quick question. I've installed it on a windows laptop and it works perfectly fine. But when I use your Mac installation files, the process goes smoothly, with no errors, but in the end the "Batch image manipulation" option just doesn't appear in the File menu. I'm using an M1 Mac, so maybe the problem lies there. Do you have any idea? I would be tremendously greatful if you could help.
I've been trying to add the BIMP Plug-in with Mac Sonoma and it doesn't work. I've followed every step in your video, and all looks like it should be there, but it's absent in the file menu. I think it's just because it doesn't work with sonoma. Do you have a solution for Macs running sonoma?
Hey Doudou - thanks for this terrific video. It took me a couple of hours of fiddling around to get it installed. This video was the one that got the plugin installed on my Mac. And even though it doesn't work perfectly, I can set up the tasks and save it as a template. In future, I can just run the template. It's going to save a LOT of time. I pull stills from video and then downsize and compress these for a blog on my site. Thank you again for the excellent and thorough videos on GIMP. If you ever wanted to do a collaboration video, just let me know my friend. All the very best, Cheers Rick
Hello Askdoudou, I followed your instructions exactly and the batch editor does not show in the File dropdown. I am using Sonoma 14.6.1... is it not compatible with this?
Hi, I followed all the instructions, and I have the thumbs up in the folder... But it doesn't seem to work with MacOS Somona. Do you maybe have an update ? thanks a lot
Hello, thank you for your videos! I just did everything - I am on Monterey and took the last version of BIMP for macOs.. It seems to be working except I see no Bimp on my Gimp !
Hello Doudou, When I click on the "install" file, the terminal window that opens does not show a lot of text. It show only 2 lignes saying "BIMP is installed. You can close the program.""Operation is over" and then when I follow your further steps of installation, BIMP just does'nt show up anywhere. I use MacOs Catalina. Do you (or anybody) have any idea what could be a solution? Thanks a lot!
Hi DouDou -- I feel I have followed your instructions installing BIMP on my MacBook -- But I don't see the App in Bimp>File. I have restarted the computer. I see Thumbs Up in File Location Dialog Box. All software is up to date. Can the library folder become misplaced? This is where mine is located. [*hidden] /Users/Macbeth/Documents/*Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins Great Videos! Thank you. 🙏
Same problem, same specs. Uninstalled and reinstalled Gimp, went through all the hoops. Thumbs are up in the plug-ins folder, but no BIMP in the files menu.
Yes in deed if the app is not in the right location then the Path wont work. After all Applications folder is a standard location for apps. But if you dont want to keep the app in a subfolder you just have to change Path and add Subfolder name after Applications/subfolder/...
jesus christ 🤦♀️ thank you. i just spent forever trying to figure out why it won’t work and then i remembered i have 2 applications folders for some reason and it was in the wrong one lol problem fixed thank you
I followed each and every step and didn't work. I did not have the batch option in the gimp drop down. So I deleted the file and updated my Mac to Big Sur and did it all again, but still nothing changed.
Plz do make sure that the GIMP is located in APPLICATIONS folder. Also you can download this ready version of BIMP. It contains all edits and changes made in this tutorial. All you have to do is run the install script with Terminal. Let me know if it works.
@@Askdoudou thank you for your quick reply; it didn't work. I just unistalled gimp and installed all over again; the folder "plug-ins" was already there with thumbs up. I downloaded the bimp from your link few times ( after deleting it all to see if that would work), but didn' t work. every step works, but I still don't have the batch manipulation option.
@@Askdoudou my gimp is in the app folder. it was before and when I installed again, I manually moved it there. all looks normal, but for some reason I can't get the batch to show up. I had it when I used linux. installed everything and worked. I even updated my Mac today to Big Sur to see if that would work.
tried it. still doesn't work. i was able to bypass the security settings. bimp is loaded in the plugins folder, which corresponds with the plugins path inside gimp. i'm able to open it. it just... doesn't work. there's no batch manipulation item in the file menu. no error message. just... nothing.
Can you please do a video on how to install Da Big Gimping plug-in (for laser engraving) on a Mac. I am beyond frustrated and when I search online there are no answers. I know Mac users use this plug-in, so it is possible but all of the installation tutorials are from PC users and it does not work with Mac. Please help me!
Followed all the steps. BIMP does not launch even when allowed in Security and Privacy. It's in the plugins folder. Running Big Sur and GIMP 2.10.38 🤷🏻♂

HI Alessandro, does the current BIMP work with Sonoma 14.6.1?
@@CurtRanta not yet, Sorry! My spare time to keep it updated is very low nowadays
@@alessandrofrancesconi320 No worries... just wanted to try it out!
oh my gosh. HOORAY! after almost a full day of tinkering finally found this video and it worked. thank you so much!!

Did you ever fix this? Same issue for me
same on Monterey

Thanks for the great description. After many hours the first video what could solve the problem.
I m happy that this helped you 🙏🏼
Thank you. You solved the problem of the MacOS not permitting the installation of BIMP, saving me time and frustration.
Can someone help me with doing this on macOS 14 Sonoma. Please and thank you.
Works perfectly (just be sure to follow the instructions exactly). Thank you very much!
This is so GOOD. it works! Love this, Good job!!!! It works like a dream. reduced my work from 5h to 1h Love it!!
Hello Askdoudou, I followed your instructions exactly and the batch editor does not show in the File dropdown. I am using Sonoma 14.6.1... is it not compatible with this?
I can't open anything cause I get this warning that install cannot be opened because its from an unidentified developer? what can I do with that?

Same issue here. Did you find a solution?
I also was not able to install BIMP. I'm on Ventura, Apple silicon.

Thank you. 🙏
BIMP submenu doesn't show after installation (all steps already followed). any clue?
- GIMP 2.10.32
- BIMP 2.6
- macOS Catalina (10.15.7)
Same problem, same specs. Uninstalled and reinstalled Gimp, went through all the hoops. Thumbs are up in the plug-ins folder, but no BIMP in the files menu.
@@LaMEUF same here
same problem
I downgraded Gimp to the exact version on the video. Same for BIMP version as on the video. On Ventura 13.4.1 and it's working
@@chrisbrowsky1130 did it works for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) processor?
selection tools not working on macbook how to solve that problem please teach me. thank you
make sure that the Gimp program is in the APPLICATIONS folder. I have it in a subfolder in the Applications, and would not work until moved.
