September 19ok,
I have copied the…tgs file to …plugs-ins.
mac says something like “unknown softwarehouse”
To make it clear, the gmic plugin from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-plugins-collection/releases/download/continuous/GMIC-Gimp-2.10-OSX.tgz
can only run with GIMP 2.10 from gimp.org
With wget command in Terminal, if you have that command, the plugin and the necessary additional libraries are copied to the folder of plugins.
wget -q -O - https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-plugins-collection/releases/download/continuous/GMIC-Gimp-2.10-OSX.tgz | tar -xC ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ -
Did you something similar? Or is that something with seven seals for you? This sequence of commands copies the tar file from the GitHub server, unpacks it to the location of plugins of GIMP. there should not be any message concerning security or from gatekeeper!
Only the possibly new installed GIMP should throw some message. The plugin gmic-qt will be started from within GIMP.
I have cleared all the restriction in the “safety and privacy” area
mac says “file is corrupted”
These are possibly messages from Mac if you try to start the plugin. That cannot work. The plugin is only startable from inside Gimp.
I have originally downloaded it from parta.com
what can I do?
With McGimp from Partha you can only use the gmic plugin ready packed in the bundle, not the one from Github server above mentioned. If you open an image in McGimp you might see under menu Filters the gmic entry and you can use it!
In worst case the copied plugin from Github server might interfere with McGimp from Partha, then delete them, possibly the whole folder plug-ins! Attention inside your user Library ~/Library, not anywhere else!!
