Question : Are ".jpg" ".ico" ".cur" reading files function cut off?

In 3.19~3.2.1, Standalone uses Windows standard file opening dialog, and it can read more file types. (such as"jpg").
3.2.2 has a different file opening dialog, but it can read the same file types.

However, 3.2.3 has a different file opening dialog and it can read fewer file types.

Are “.jpg” “.ico” “.cur” reading files function cut off?
(especially, “.jpg”. If so, I need to rewrite my scripts.)

There is now a Use native file dialog option in the Settings, you can check/uncheck it to get the old opening dialog.

As for the .jpg support, we didn’t change anything about that.
We had issues with .jpg support on G’MIC-Qt in the past (on Windows only :frowning: ), but I thought this was fixed.

Bonjour,

It is simply linked to the packaging.
You can use the 64-bit version of gmic_qt.exe contained in this archive:
https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-community/releases/download/gmic-3.2.3/gmic-3.2.3_gimp-2.99-Win64_gimp-2.10-Win32.7z

Thank you, that option makes the native dialog come back.
However, the .jpg reading does not come back still.

Could someone please run the 3.2.3 gmic_qt.exe,
and test that they can read .jpg?
\gmic-3.2.3-qt-win64\gmic_qt.exe

gmic-3.2.3-cli-win64 is fine.
gmic-3.2.2-qt-win64 is also fine.
only gmic-3.2.3-qt-win64 can’t read .jpg.
If I run the qt from the command line with a .jpg file,
3.2.3 is simply down.

If this is only my problem, really sorry for disturbing.

There is no problem to open a jpeg image with the G’MIC-QT version of my previous message. I see that you do not use this version.

@makkkraid
G’mic 3.2.3 does read jpg’s for me.

The file is: GMIC Windows 64 Bits: Stand-Alone GUI
from GMIC download latest version
(Versión no via THE GIMP)

Bonjour,

To use ‘gmic_qt.exe’ Version 3.2.3 Just download and extract the archive:

https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-community/releases/download/gmic-3.2.3/gmic-3.2.3_gimp-2.99-Win64_gimp-2.10-Win32.7z

and click on:
\gmic-3.2.3_gimp-2.99-Win64_gimp-2.10-Win32\gmic-3.2.3_gimp-2.99-Win64\gmic_gimp_qt\gmic_qt.exe

Note: ‘gmic_qt.exe’ version 3.2.3 of GMIC download latest version cannot open JPEG files.

:o)

Why that ? I’ve compiled it with the libjpeg support.
What’s this another Windows witchcraft?

@David_Tschumperle

It is well known Windows is evil but QT even more (it’s a joke) :innocent:

I do not know if it is your choice to limit the volume of your archives but it lacks the QT plug-ins ‘Imageformats’.

I just did a test. With your archive it is possible to open a jpeg by adding the ‘Imageformats’ plug-ins.

:o)

OK, so I’ve posted a new gmic_qt_win64.zip pre-release archive on the G’MIC website, that includes the required imageformats/ folder.
Here is the link :

https://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_qt_win64.zip

Could you try to download it and tell us if that now manages .jpg files?
Thanks!

There is no problem with this new archive.
G’MIC QT can open and save in JPEG.
