Plugins Beaver as GIMP 3.2RC1

Software GIMP
1

Attention:

All Plugins LinuxBeaver · GitHub stopped working in GIMP 3.2RC1

The reason:

GEGL scans all plugins (added by the user) at startup.

The plug-ins in AppData\Local\gegl-0.4 plug-ins do not match the GEGL 0.4 version of GIMP 3.2 RC1 → hence warnings will appear if you use the CMD command line tool => type a command with the flag

–list-all:

gegl –list-all

messages will appear:

  • cannot find a specific procedure

and in Tools => GEGL library operation also do not appear.

This means that the plugins were compiled for a different version of GEGL / GIMP, so GIMP/GEGL can’t load them. GIMP 3.2 has a new API and the .dll plugins for GEGL must be recompiled.

Not-so-good news from LinuxBeaver [contrast_]:

Problem solved:

More than 130 GEGL plug-ins (Tools => GEGL library operation…) created by Beaver (also known as contrast_ ) worked only in GIMP 3.0.4.

MareroQ at: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=22057&start=20#p300704 provided a solution to this problem.

He found a very simple solution that also works in the latest versions of GIMP.

The culprit turned out to be a single file - libintl-8.dll in GIMP’s bin directory.

Downloading this file from GIMP 3.0.4, which is working properly, solved the problem.

Replace the existing libintl-8.dll file in the bin directory in GIMP 3.0.6, 3.0.8 and 3.2 RC 1/2 with it.

A working correct file is downloaded from: https://gimpchat.com/download/file.php?id=81677 zip

Replacing the existing file with it and restart GIMP (for the unbelievers, just in case, first rename the existing file to libintl-8.dllOld)

I also did this with positive results in the GIMP Portable version.
