For the test - check that the attached file is displayed in the menu?

Easy to make a mistake in editing - sometimes missing or in the wrong place, space or comma is causing the problem.
My sytem is 32 bit so the path for 64 bit by Lylejk.

Someone at another forum noted that you can drag and drop for the 4 stand-alones any file type (tif, jpeg, or png). That led me to try tif again. I still occasionally get errors box pop-up with tif but the layer gets transferred back to GIMP. I guess I assumed you coundn't pass tif due to the error box. You still cannot pass png though. Now at least you can work with alpha channels too. Will duplicate this prose at the other NIC thread as well.

Just updated the list; replaced jpgs with tif and added the pre-sharpener preset.

Now this file is works! finally show the ShellOut section, maybe had a corrupted file. Awesome thank you!



I've update the file with the new file types, tried any filter its getting error message kind of "unsupported image format" (with the tifs) and others (pngs) get "the file xxxxx could not be opened because it does not exist or access to it was denied"
neither works with jpgs.

Now what?

Again, thanks a lot for your help Lyle! very appreciate it!!

I think it is a mistake in the path of Shellout.

Show code shelout [programlist] and location (full path) to Nik Collecttion (executable file).

Also check the path to the temporary directory folder [Edit-> Preferences-> Folders] and see if you click OK in Shelout created a new file (gimp-temp-XXXX.tiff)

The location seems ok, its open the program but getting these error messages in the filter programs (each of them)
I've checked the temp directory and its create new files.

GIMP 2.8x did have a problem with tifs in older versions. They've since fixed that. What version of GIMP are you running Psy. I'm using 2.8.16.

Yes 2.8.16, but also in jpg I get same errors..
I also tried to reinstall GIMP..

Now the paths that I shared are for 64-bit OS. Not sure if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit OS. Could also been copied wrong. Can you share a screenshot of your shellout file?

My OS is 64bit, the paths are correct (I install the Nik Collection on D:\)
Again, seems the 'calling' of the filter programs are works very well (programs opens)

The structure of your file is completely wrong. The sharp character (meaning ignore) should be to the left of each line for starters. You lines appear to be right justified so hard to follow as well; Still, I see line enters that might be messing up the python script. It should look like the file below:

You right, mine looks like a mess!
Worked to fix all the damn mistakes (of "],[,(,) and now again its not showing the Shellout option on filters... :\
What is the best way to edit the shellout.py file? every notepad that I use its f$@ked it up.

I use notepad (turn off wrap). I would first re-download the python script and then add the lines by the way.
