How do I run the replay gain 2.0 plugin in picard?

I am using Fedora 37 Silverblue, installed picard through flatpak.

$ flatpak info org.musicbrainz.Picard

I installed the replaygain 2.0 plugin:

Also downloaded regain and specified location just in case despite the update in the replaygain 2.0 thread saying flatpak supports it. Not very sure how I would set the path to make it work without the external binary.

Anyways, the main concern is I have no way of activating the plugin.


My eyes cannot find the option called “plugin” → “replaygain” as the explanation specifies.

Usage
Select one or more tracks or albums, then right click and select Plugin->Calculate ReplayGain. The plugin will calculate ReplayGain information for the selected items and display the results in the metadata window. Click the save button to write the tags to file.

I have been stuck on this for months. Please let me know your thoughts.

You need to add the files to a release (so they show in the right pane instead of the left). Then you will see the option. Perhaps this should be clarified in the plugin description.

Oh thank god. I have not used the release function for a long time since I want to tag my own stuff.
