I see what you wrote about the dll but that is a different matter

I do not think it will run right out of the box.You will still have to select it in the installer.
I compiled on a windows machine with codegen already installed so the build included it for me. :)

I am sure the new official release of the setup will include a choice still.

I am pretty sure the Random Color uses the selected Gradient. Do we have diagonal guides now? Or just cropping?

I can send you the compiled version Graechan in a link via PM.
All you will need to do is unzip to your gimp-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins folder and restart Gimp-2.6.12.
Keep in mind i have not tested it in Gimp-2.6.12 , nor Gimp-2.8 RC-1 as i do not want to mess up my current install.
I tested on Gimp-2.7 versions only, and it fails. A small hint... i believe it's missing a crucial dll file. Possibly mono.
I will include it in the zip if you like.

As far as Gimp-2.8 for Windows i only compiled it out of curiosity. With the dll problems i keep getting i wouldn't dare post an installer yet. Not until i fixed that at least.
Besides i believe the official installers will give you a choice to allow older plugins to work. Mine wouldn't.
You are much better off waiting for the release from the official Gimp team in my honest opinion. :)

Attached is one that you can unzip to RC1 /lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins folder and it will work. I tested this one.

Hi Rod.

The libintl-8 problems are not from gimp itself, otherwise you wouldn't have it getting compiled.
I had some problems, too. Always moaning that there is no pointer to __printf__.
I got rid of that, by:

- making sure, that tehere is only one libintl-8.dll on my system.
- the path, where the only one resides, is in systems PATH (in my case my gimp/bin directory).
- deleting all (except especially for a plug-in) dll's from plug-in directories.

okay, I am just waiting for a 2.8 (64-bit) stable version for Windows that I don't have to worry about compiling, and that all the tools and scripts will work in.

Is there any such beast yet?

If so, could someone post a download link to it. If not, I will just sit and wait for a Linux Fedora version :pengy

Rod,

Your build is available on gimp.org? I couldn't find it. Can you give me the URL?

Thanks!
Partha

The official installer is out: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

I read here http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403965,00.asp
Quote:
But there's a catch: the GTK+2 image toolkit that was used to create GIMP 2.8 is not compatible with graphics tablets like Wacom, so those that use a graphics tablet will have to downgrade to version 2.6, the developers said.


Anyone know if this is true? I'll have to stick with 2.6 if there is no tablet support :(

Yeah; saw, I believe at GIMPUsers that someone complained about the lack of tablet support Rob. For the life of me, I still don't understand why the developers feel that 2.6x has to be uninstalled too; just finished re-installing 2.6.12 (and yes, 2.8 works perfectly fine with 2.6.12 installed and can be run simultaneously if you know the secret too. lol). Only difference between rc1 and the official release is the TIF bug is fixed. Actually, someone here (think it might have been Graechan, but I'm not sure; may have been Onkel too) found a workaround for the TIF bug so I really gained nothing upgrading to 2.8 official release other then an extremely cool splash screen. :)

L i believe that are not the developers but a idea of who made the builds

Bad idea in my opnion and even worse is trying to import preference from the previous version..that make sense for minor upgrade not when come a new milestone

So to install both versions you just installed 2.8 in different path than 2.6 like this
2.6= C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0
2.8= C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.8

Just an example the 2.8 makes new folder in user data I assume (.gimp-2.6 ,an new .gimp-2.8 ) ?

The release notes talks of environment variables but i checked mine an nothing is in path line

That's right Ed. In my case, 2.6 installed in program files(x86) and 2.8 in program files (since I went 64-bit with 2.8). 2.6 uses .gimp2.6 and 2.8 uses .gimp2.8 in my user profile directory. Still, it's going to be a pain to have to uninstall 2.6 each time I install a 2.8 upgrade, but do I will until all the bugs get eliminated and all my scripts and plugins work in 2.8. I figure 2.8.3 will be the golden release; hope 2.8.2 will though (just based on my past experiences with releases; the rest usually are more addressing very specific (and sometimes esoteric) bugs). :)
