This thread is for reporting any update issues, whether for the CLI or plugin. Please state your G’MIC version (and GIMP, etc., version, if applicable).
Current predicament of mine is that every time my PR goes through, the changes don’t show up after an update to the CLI and / or GUI. I generally wait 2 days to check but now I stopped caring and keep a copy of the up-to-date code in my user.gmic. However, that can be confusing because I might assume that it is already accessible to the public when it isn’t.
I’m not sure why is waiting 2 days at the min is a big deal. I get updates after a PR gets accepted in a day. There could be some sort of change logs to be placed so that I don’t have to make a thread on reddit.
I cannot retrieve an update for the code after the PR has been accepted. I then wait for 2 days before I report it. Maybe it is on my end. I usually check CLI and not so much GUI (for you, it might be the opposite), so I don’t know if both are being affected equally.
There is actually a script, running every hour, that is gathering all external contributions, and compile them to build the updateXXX.gmic file (which is then uploaded to the G’MIC website).
So, all newly added filters should be available at least after one hour.
Usually when I ask about it (2 days later), it updates properly shortly after. Maybe you did something on your end, or my system or location is the problem.
Checked again. afre_softlight doesn’t have its 3rd parameter yet, which means the accepted commit from 4 days ago isn’t in my update file at the moment of this comment.
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP’s internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
would anyone be able to assist me in getting g’mic 2.75 to work in gimp 2.10.14? i’m using linux (solus budgie 4), and i downloaded both gimp and g’mic from the software centre.
Could you give us more info on where and how you downloaded and installed your GIMP and G’MIC plugin? As I am not a plugin dev, I won’t know how to make it work or compatible. What I would say is to go back to using the combination that worked for you, in the meantime. Ping @David_Tschumperle.
i installed them both directly from the software centre. i’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling both, but for some reason all my gimp settings remain the same like it was never uninstalled.
i’m not too sure how to downgrade to 2.10.12. & i’ve tried getting g’mic 2.74 to no avail.
the plug-in folders are fine. i even made a whole new folder and added it to the preferences, but that didn’t work either. it looks like i might have to wait for the software centre’s g’mic to be updated to the latest 2.8.0 because nothing is fixing it right now.
I set the preferences in Gimp to look for the plugin and it still doesn’t find 2.8
I’ve even removed all instances of Gimp from my machine, installed from fresh (via PPA in terminal) and it still wont install gmic 2.8
I’ve read somewhere that gmic 2.8.4 isn’t currently compiled for gimp 2.10.12 on ubuntu 19.10. Is this true?
2.7 works like a dream. Gimp finds it and everything seems to work. I did Sudo to nautilus and installed gmic to the .libocation, 2.8 loaded but advised it was a ‘dying plug in’ and the had to be removed.
Which means at the moment you are stuck with gmic_gimp_qt 2.7.4
If it is just the gmic_gimp_qt plugin then I would try the zip from the gmic site, troll though the downloads at www.gmic.eu until you get to:
Unzip and put that in your Gimp profile ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins It should already be marked executable but check anyway. That should supercede the old plugin. Worth a try.
Personally not keen on the PPA version. the Gimp plugin is a dynamic version, with all the rest of the gmic stuff as dependencies. I tried it for someone recently and it pulled in a monster list of dependencies. The gmic.eu zip is a more regular static version for those (like me) who do not use the gmic command line application.
…and one I compiled for myself a few days ago. Seems to working ok, no disasters so far, but it is for 'buntu 18.04 / Mint 19
