The 2.10.25 AppImage (with plugins) still uses the old 2.9.2 gmic_gimp_qt plugin. Which version ? Apart from top of the gmic window, hover the mouse over the gmic menu entry (with an open image).

I think you updated recently to 'buntu 20.04. Get the ubuntu 20.04 zip from http://www.gmic.eu
https://www.fosshub.com/GMIC.html?dwl=g ... _amd64.zip
Unzip it and put it in your Gimp user profile ~/.config/GIMP-AppImage/2.10/plug-ins/

That is what I am using here. If still on 'buntu 18.04 then you need the plugin I compile. Let me know which version.

Thanks @rich2005

As per the method described before it showed 2.9.6

I will try the zip to plugin folder. So nice of you to help

Hi, this is a new 20.04 installation on a desktop I have. I unzipped and added it to 2.10 > plug-in folder. Sadly, the old GMIC qt is also gone from the menu. I am not sure how to proceed. Thanks.

PS :It is set as executable.

PS 2 : Looks like it is a permission issue. Should I try 644 ?

Update 1 - I set the permission to 644 and the menu entry under filters is back. But upon hovering, it says 2.9.2.

It is probably a QT5 issue. The required lib files not installed. Easier for me since I use kubuntu and QT5 is already there. Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libqt5core* libqt5widgets5*

should pull in the required dependencies.

Your chmod should be 747 (644 marks it non-executable

)

Tried the command and used 777. There is no entry for gmic at all under Filters

Thanks.

PS : I installed a deb package for 2.9.7 gmic from FOSSHub and can open it through Activities.

Update 1:

Code: Select all

$ ./gmic_gimp_qt
./gmic_gimp_qt is a GIMP plug-in and must be run by GIMP to be used

The owner of the file is Me

I tried using

Code: Select all

sudo chown username gmic_gimp_qt

But the owner is still Me

Then I tried sudo bash and used the above command. Sadly, the owner is still Me.

If you are using an appimage, you can not install gmic_gimp_qt from a deb. It installs to /usr/lib/GIMP/...something-or-other and probably tries to install a regular Gimp as well. As with any other Gimp plugin, you can not run it on its own, only via the Gimp menu structure.

I am trying to switch from kubuntu 18.04 to kubuntu 20.04 (new laptop) and for some reason everything seems a problem with 20.04 Beginning to hate ubuntu.

The Gimp 2.10.25 appimage does use the ubuntu 18.04 plugin. The regular one does give errors. All to do with the QT5 versions. I should have remembered that, a similar problem came up recently.

You can get gmic_gimp_qt 2.9.8 from here on my storage:
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code ... lGrJGFii8V
This is the latest from a couple of days ago.

This a demo of the appimage + the gmic plugin + the comicbook plugin. Very basic and short.

edit: definitely packing in for the day, had enough

Thanks rich2005 for the compiled version of gmic_gimp_qt 2.9.8. Works fine for PPA version of Gimp, but still reports errors on AppImage of Gimp even though it works correctly.

BTW, here's my version of B/W comic drawing of original image:

Now everything is working fine. Except for the pencil-like line art style. I tried the G'MIC > Curve option but it taking a life time to convert the comic like output and it never ends.

Thanks for your time.

I can reproduce that error with the linux appimage.

First, I hope you are using an up-to-date gmic_gimp_qt plugin (for appimage QT5 version) You can get one from https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-gmic- ... untu-18-04

After latest compile (18 June), I noticed that the updated, update298.gmic (4,563,169 B) breaks some filters.

Fortunately had a backup of the old file. (4,515,900 B)
Download this https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code ... ObzX1Hfxm7
Unzip and replace the file in ~/.config/gmic Still the same number of filters, 568.

If you have gmic set for automatic updates (daily / weekly...) my advice, turn it off. Look in gmic Settings -> Other -> Internet Updates You still have the option to update manually (but do not do it for the moment

)

Hi @rich2005 Thanks. I have been using the same app image for around 3 months now. Does AppImage and plugins used get auto updated ? Everything was working fine.

Edit : Not my doing. But the update is set as " Weekly "

rich2005 · **Joined:** Mar 04, 2011 **Posts:** 2425

See: the previous post #31 You need to replace the current update298.gmic which is causing problems with this one. https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code ... ObzX1Hfxm7

some python file using G'MIC will need to be updated for G'MIC 2.9.8

https://discuss.pixls.us/t/bug-latest-g ... 7?u=pixlab

From David Tschumperle:

Quote:

That’s because with 2.9.8, the correct filter command is :

fx_curves_interactive 7,0,1,7,"0,0,40,60,100,100,-1,0,0,30,70,100,100,-1,0,0,100,100,-1,0,0,100,100,-1,-1,0,0,100,100"

(note the double quotes).

also from grosgood in the same thread

Quote:

-fx_curves_interactive changed such that the two numeric parameters before the final double-quoted parameter should be removed.

which mean that Line 35 should be changed there https://github.com/cl4cnam/gimp_cartoon ... ede2.10.py to reflect the G'MIC changes

Current stable gmic_gimp_qt 2.9.7 users should not worry it is a pre-release 2.9.8 issue.

That fixes it for the pre-release gmic_gimp_qt 2.9.8 because of the nested quotes you need a mix of single and double.

Code: Select all

   pdb.plug_in_gmic_qt(img, layer, 1, 0, "fx_curves_interactive 7,0,1,'7','0,0,'+pointLum+',100,100,-1,0,0,'+pointSat+',100,100,-1,0,0,100,100,-1,0,0,100,100'")

That leading dash as in -fx no longer required. It is a problem using gmic in a gimp plugin, gmic evolves rapidly and what works today might not tomorrow. I would not be all that surprised if gmic version 3.0 arrives soon.
