I recently ed the portable version of GIMP 3.0.4. I haven't tested it extensively, but have noticed that Nik Plugins don't work. I use the python script found at https://github.com/iiey/nikgimp/blob/main/nikplugin.py.
I put this file in its own folder, nikplugin, in the plugin folder D:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\references\plug-ins. However, this plugin is not detected by 4.0.4 whereas the G\MIC plugin in the same directory is detected. This plugin works without any problem in the installed version as well as the portable version ed from https://www.techspot.com/s/6809-google-nik-collection.html
BTW, this plugin worked without any problem on the 2.10.x versions ed from PortableApps.
Has anybody else faced this problem? Is there something I need to do differently for the 3.0.4 version ed from PortableApps?
Would appreciate any help to solve this problem.

That's likely the wrong location. Please see the note about paths here: https://portableapps.sitesunblocked.org/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable#app-notes
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I put the plugins, nikplugin as well as the G'MIC plugin in the directory you mentioned. Unfortunately, again the G'MIC plugin is detected correctly but not the nikplugin. Any workaround? Need the nikplugin badly!

Are you sure it's compatible with GIMP 3?

I am pretty sure since this works with the installed version of GIMP 3.0.4 and the portable version from Samj.
I am following the instructions given in https://iiey.github.io/nikgimp/
I can confirm that the plugin isn't showing up correctly in GIMP Portable 3.0.4 on Windows 10 64-bit and that it does show up correctly for the installed version.
You mentioned it worked on GIMP Portable 2.x. Do you know what specific version and how you'd installed it?

It worked with all the versions of GIMP Portable 2.10.x. The python script file has been modified for GIMP 3.x. As I have mentioned it in my earlier posts, it does work for the portable GIMP version from Samj ed fromTop
