Just been trying out using guix as a package manager on Debian and have a question: I've been able to install and run GIMP using Guix but it isn't picking up my plugins. Why is this, and what would I need to do to make them work?

Yes, gimp can (ordinarily) read plugins from the home directory. It seems that the guix install of GIMP is isolated somehow. I've installed a plugin using guix and that isn't accessible either though, despite both it and GIMP being installed as guix packages.

Hmm, that is weird then. I'm not sure why it would be any different from a regular gimp install at that point. Wish i could be of help.
