Release of G'MIC 1.6.0.0

Ronounours · **Joined:** Jan 03, 2011 **Posts:** 1656

Hello Folks !

I'm happy to announce a new version of the G'MIC image processing framework, released today (and numbered 1.6.0.0).
The Changelog is quite long this time, and is available here :

I'm looking for someone to compile the G'MIC plug-in (and opt. the cli utility) for the Win64 architecture

I hope you will enjoy this new version. Hopefully, it will be stable enough to avoid releasing another new version in few months !

Just hoping by the time you get to 2.0.0.0, that gpu acceleration becomes part of the arsenal David. Will wait until samj compiles the 64-bit version or has she already done so. Going to check as soon as I hit the enter key. lol

This is a link to the gmic sourceforge 64bit files gmic_gimp_1.6.0.0_win64

Thanks....do I download and install gmic-gimp 64 bit then the gmic?

No Graechan, these links basically won't work.
The Samj's link is only the beta, and it has no chance to work with the update file of the current stable, so expect a lot of troubles by using it.
The other link is the link on the Sourceforge server, and it is still the 1.5.9.3 (stable).
I think that nobody has already compiled the 1.6.0.0 version of the plug-in for Windows64 yet.

Compiling now David.
Is this the correct GIT download?

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/gmic/source gmic

Seems to work fine.
Here is the zip attached. (64 bit gimp-plug-in only)

Tested on Windows 8.1 64 bit architecture.

Thanks Rod,
Anyway, I don't recommend compiling from the git repo right now, because I've already started the 1.6.0.1_beta version :p
Maybe it could be nicer to have a stable 1.6.0.0 version for Win64 instead, so from the source archive :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmic/fi ... z/download

In your screenshot, it looks like the version is 1.6.0.1, while it's still in beta !

thank you for the update David. Mine is the Linux64 one.

Thanks Rod, finally, samj has done the compile. I'm uploading the files into the Sourceforge server.

Thanks for the new update. So far so good, with my testing.

Thanks samj and thanks for the heads up David. Like Tux said, so far so good for me too. I know there were some new changes/features added so was (have to admit it) hoping there would be no issues and so far none.

You know, I love you folks. Really. GIMP and G'MIC are incredible gifts and I appreciate them greatly. You all work incredibly hard and you deserve big credit. :jumpclap

But this thread is such a perfect example of why I can't recommend open source software to most of my friends.

Like the overwhelming majority of computer users, I use Windows (my clients insist, and they are the people who pay me) and I run in 64 bit mode. Put yourself in my position and read this thread. What am I supposed to do, and what should I download? Most people could not make heads or tails of this thread.

I visited the G'MIC page on sourceforge this morning and downloaded the "64 bits only" version which turned out to be 1.5. I do wish that page specified what version you are downloading.

Eventually I tried updating filters from within GIMP and used the link provided under "about" to download a compiled Win-64 version. I extracted the files to the usual place, opened GIMP, and was told I am missing one of those blasted dll files ("libgomp-1.dll"). Now, as people say so often, my GIMP is broken. :gaah

Please remind me, where do I find a current libgomp-1.dll and in what directory should I install it?

Thanks. It's a good thing you folks are patient and kind. Otherwise, the rest of us common users wouldn't stand a chance.

Acmespace : You should try again, I've updated the gmic_gimp_win64.zip file few hours ago, and it has the libgomp-1.dll file included in it.

Many thanks, it worked this time. Like I said, you folks are the greatest!

After I installed Gimp 2.8.14 I noticed some G'MIC console errors.
The discussion started here, Subject: Script-Fu Scrolling Interface V1.1 For GIMP 2.8.14.

console wrote:

~$ gimp

GnuTux suggested I might have multiple copies of G'MIC.
Here's part of the console output using 'locate'. It looks normal to me unless I need to cleanup the updates.

This is what I'm seeing on my system, Odin.

$ locate gmic_gimp
/home/gnutux/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/gmic_gimp

I've always placed G'MIC in my user .gimp-2.8/plug-ins folder
