Maybe a complete command line to be able to reproduce the bug could help !
Sorry, my computer had problems today. Here is the command. It saves _.gmz but can’t open it, showing the error I pasted in my first post on this.
gmic DSC02763-02765.tif _m1.tif n. 0,1 extract_region.. .,0,1 o _.gmz
DSC02763-02765.tif comes from HDRMerge + PhotoFlow (minimum under raw tab; Rec2020 linear 16-bit). It is too big to upload ATM. _m1.tif (347.2 KB)

My simple attempt:
- applied G’mic Retinex on duplicated layer
- set to Overlay
I was answering to your statement:
Maybe I don’t have the tools since I’m pretty new to the photo editing game. So I am curious what the veterans can do
So, because my primary intent in Gimp and Gmic is photo manipulation, I tought I could reply. If I’m wrong I’ll remove it.
Likely I misunderstood. Sorry to everybody
Nice - my image becoming a meme for hard to editing images spreading over pixls 
I’d be actually interested by the produced _.gmz file.
Is the filename important to reproduce the bug ? Does it work with another filename ?
Did not know G’MIC had a Retinex preset; use GIMPs version often. Will need to check that out, Diego. 
@David_Tschumperle Try _m1-1.tif (19.6 KB) DSC02763-02765-0.tif (19.6 KB) in the same command. They are resized to 50 px in width.
Yes, with these, I’m able to reproduce the issue. I’ll try to see what happens.
@afre, this commit should fix the issue : Fix name storage in .gmz format. · dtschump/gmic@7b40040 · GitHub
I’ll build some new pre-release binaries for Windows, so you’ll be able to test (available in 2 hours or so).
Looks good.
@David_Tschumperle coming back to help display on terminal. On my Mac “gmic h pink_new” shows this 
A slight enlargement shows this 
Seemingly the limits are set a bit sharp, or is it a Mac specificity?
What
gmic shell_cols e \$\{\}
displays for you ?
Exactly what is in the windows title bar shown, 85 and 80.
By the way, “help pink_new” in 80 column window needs only 84 to show without wrap-around.
I hope you don’t misunderstand me: I am enlarging the window without repeating the help call!
Hmm, updated and even recompiled, still don’t see the improvement!
That was yesterday, today everything is ok, no wrap-arounds anymore!
Thank you @David_Tschumperle!
I added translate_en.gmic to community. It is there in the update but GIMP doesn’t see it. Please advise or fix. Thanks!
I think this was meant to answer my question regarding French to English, and not @Reptorian’s, which is about programming languages.
Okay, I will look into making a PR at c-koi/gmic-qt.
PS1 Sometimes translations aren’t 1-to-1 and depend on the context, so I guess, to make it more specific, I would have to include more of the #@gui line…
PS2 Another tricky part is that I am translating the French from @samj to English. What if there are English and French words spelled the same way? Again substituting words alone won’t solve this.
PS3 I deleted the new translate_en.gmic as it serves no purpose.
