Gimp Plugin Bimp - Problem with Config

I have problem with bimp plugin, its a gimp plugin for batch image manipulation [download link]. After installation its works only when i run gimp from terminal as root - when i run it from icon, plugin is inactive. Can you please help me understand why its works like that and what is an issue ?

Its how i install this plugin:

  1. Download tar
  2. Unzip
  3. Sudo -i and then navigate to plugin folder
  4. make && make install, apt-get upgrade && update

As indicated in the README.md file, you should either run

make
make install

to install the plugin in your own ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins directory, or run

make
sudo make install-admin

to install system-wide. Do not make the plain install target with sudo, since this will place a root-owned version of the plugin into your home directory.
