Normal stuff that I expect. I don't see any file related issues.

OK thanks! Will have to keep an eye on this.

BTW, next incarnation will allow you to send to Gimp. Of course, only if you are using my Gimp build.

delaboratory uses lots of memory on final image generation, so if you have big image and you put lots of operations then it may take a while, and on 32-bit system you can hit out of memory problem

in any case of such problems please send debug.log so we could see what is there

delaboratory uses floats, so each color is stored as 4 bytes, if you are in RGB it means that each pixel is stored on 12 bytes but if you use CMYK it means that each pixel costs 16 bytes of memory!

and this is just one image, if you are using any action you need two images, but there is also opacity slider where you can quickly change opacity, that's another copy of image

during final image generation I am trying to optimize channels and remove unused ones, but still few copies of full size image is stored in memory and it may be problematic

please provide debug.log

A new version, version 0.7.9 of Delaboratory-Mac has been uploaded. On the Mac, if you are using my McGimp build, the "Send to External Editor" will work for you provided you move Gimp.app into your application folder just like any other Mac application.

As usual, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Partha

@Partha

I got the new version and when I try to export it fails.



I had opened Delaboratory ran a curves filter and used the "Export to External Editor" pull down. I did not have Gimp open, so was nice to see it launch. Unfortunately that's as far as it got. See the above error message.

I did this one more time but this time with Gimp open, I have the same result. Now I have 2 Gimp instances running

Here's the system.log stuff... I launched it once to check version. Then closed it. Downloaded the new version and opened it. The might show me starting it twice is why I say this. Probably not important

WW,

The issue here is that the tmp folder is not being identified correctly on your system. Can you tell me what is it being set to when you start your Mac? What do you get when you type
?

All the parts are there. Delaboratory is opening correctly and it's passing on the image to Gimp which is opening correctly. Now we need to figure out why the "middle-man" so to speak is not doing it's job.

Thanks,
Partha

well I think I must remove these ERROR messages because probably everything is OK (except the TMP thing) and user may be confused

@partha....this is what I get.

TMPDIR=/var/folders/Xn/XnlpqSiYGp0fIbfYEu7MiE+++TI/-Tmp-/

I tried to export after doing this and still get the error and no image. I do find the image in the /tmp folder.

I've not played with this aspect of the OS. I only just tried a little and that was basically just to move around with cd command.

Well logs probably show that Gimp can't be run because some linking problems, I suspect it's not compiled with good libraries or there are some shared libraries problems.

Actually Gimp is running fine. The dbus error and the lcms errors I am aware of. They are harmless and so I have not bothered with them. An usual user will never see them.

I am more worried why Gimp is not picking up the image.

It should say TMP, not TMPDIR. The environment variable that Delaboratory is passing off the image to is TMP. I am confused here and will have to investigate since you say that the image is found in the tmpdir?

@partha... I find the image in /tmp. I typed "/tmp" in Finder Go/Go to folder... this is lazy way for me to do find the hidden folder and see contents. I've not very proficient with unix commands. Sorry if I confused.

@partha...while thinking about ...here my system.log info from my console when Gimp starts....

WW,

Right and Gimp is working correctly. So as I said all the moving parts are doing their job. It's the middle-man. Delaboratory is handing off the image to TMP and telling Gimp to deal with it except the location of the file is not clear and Gimp says, "I can't find the file. What do you want me to do?" And so, Gimp opens and no file.

That's the part that is bothering me - the image is in /tmp but your environment variable is TMPDIR.

Let me think about it and let you know.

I think we are not logging the external editor call, so maybe we should log it and then see what was logged.

This is my mistake. It should be TMPDIR and not TMP. So you are OK WW. Now I need to figure out why this is not working.

Sorry about that.
