Basically, you need to pass the layer to the command and place it as a parameter in front of $1. Also when you use this modified command, you would need to select the input layers to active and above.
so, if I understand you correctly, this is so trivial that you are leaving the details as an exercise to the reader, right? well, “RTFM” would have been a more concise answer
It is just that I don’t have time or energy and am in a lot of pain today to help further. Also implying that David could easily make the change right away if he had the time. But I wanted to give you something to go by for now.
Thanks a lot! I just tried using the latest GIMP appimage provided by @Carmelo_DrRaw, which includes a pre-release version 2.7.3 of G’MIC, but I get the following error:
*** Error in ./fx_smooth_guided/*if/ac/_apply_channels/*repeat/*local/_ac/ *** Command 'restore': Invalid binary encoding of variable '_guide'.
Any clue? I simply duplicated a layer, selected “All” as input layers, and “Top layer” as guide – basically what you show in the screenshot above
That looks like a bug, but I don’t understand why this could happen on Mac (I assume you are using the Mac version of the plug-in?), and not on Linux.
I’ll test it on Windows to see what happens.
I really don’t know what is happening.
Maybe @Carmelo_DrRaw should check if the sources he is using to compile G’MIC are indeed the latest ones ? I’m not able to reproduce this bug on Linux, nor on Windows, so I suspect that maybe the binary you are using has been compiled at a time where there was a bug in the repository.
Definitely not sure on how to handle this.
If you have the possibility to recompile the plug-in by yourself, directly from the latest development sources, it would really help.
