The plugin should be made executable, in one of the plugins directories 
(check Edit>Preferences>Folders>Plugins to see where they are).

It should be at the bottom of the Select menu of any image window, and 
appear in the plugin and procedure browsers (but you have already 
checked this). You can try to start Gimp from a terminal (if this can be 
done on OSX). If the plugin doesn't register you will likely see an 
error message in the terminal window. A frequent cause of problem is 
editing the plugin, and unknowingly altering the indentation. This 
causes Python syntax errors that make the registration fail (in case of 
doubt, download a fresh version).
