On the latest versions compiled with an updated MSYS2 environment, there is a problem with the ‘boxfitting’ and ‘fx_pack_ellipses’ filters on G’MIC GIMP QT et G’MIC QT:
The result is a black image.
This problem does not exist on G’MIC CLI.
These 2 examples work properly:
To have a result with ‘boxfitting’ and ‘fx_pack_ellipses’ on G’MIC QT I must modify ‘repeat inf’ by replacing ‘inf’ with an integer.
For example: repeat 1000 for ‘fx_pack_ellipses’ repeat 3 for ‘Boxfitting’
Currently, we use the -Ofast optimization flags when compiling G’MIC-Qt, while gmic uses only -O3. This is related. We should have used -O3 as well for G’MIC-Qt.
If you change -Ofast with -O3 in the gmic_qt.pro file, then the filters are working as expected. This is something we’ll do for the next release.
