My Opinion on Two Projects GSoC2025 for GIMP
- Gabriele Barbero will design and implement a GEGL filter browser for GIMP.
- Ondřej Míchal will enhance the plug-in/filter development experience by developing a new browser for discovering which GEGL filters are available and how they can be used from a plug-in/filter.
These could be interesting projects if it weren’t for the fact that there is already a solution that combines both tasks.
I’m thinking here about Batcher by Kamil Burda.
The program has a browser for Gegl filters and other Gimp procedures and allows you to easily create your own plug-ins from existing procedures.
Batcher also has other interesting options, but you can learn about this from the excellent description of the program.
Choosing such projects is a waste of time and opportunities to solve other problems.
