Managing plugins
GroIMP plugins are located in to directories by default:
/path/where/groimpisinstalled/plugins/~/.grogra.de-platform/plugins/
Additionally it is possible to add a directory with the argument -p /path/to/directory/. (e.g. java -jar core.jar -p /dir/).
When GroIMP starts it will automatically load every plugin in the given paths.
Note: It is possible to ignore a plugin path by adding it to the blacklisted file in ~/.grogra.de-platform/blacklisted.
Manually
It is possible to manually add or remove a plugin by simply copying/deleting them from the loaded paths.
The added plugin needs to be compiled and follow the plugin structure. See this guide on the plugin structure.
Note: if you do not have the permission right to delete a repository from the GroIMP installation folder, you can prevent the plugin from being loaded by adding it to the blacklisted file.
Plugin Manager
The plugins can easily be updated, installed, or removed from the GUI with the Plugin Manager.
