Good job!

I have a proven operation to make an inner glow in GEGL graph but it is insanely complex and would be tedious to port to a filter.

Here it is.

GEGL Effects now has an inner glow but it is disabled by default for being resource intensive. All you have to do to enable it is move the sliders up.

New version for Windows 64bit in attachment.
Tested for Gimp-2.10.30 and 2.10.32

Old attachment removed - new version in post # 57

If you compile this is automatically comes with the stand alone GEGL inner glow.

Of course it is.

Wowww! @MareroQ, your screenshot just show the real need to find a way to have sub-menu or tabbed sub-menu/menu in this window to be able to arrange all the GEGL by category.
Just an idea, It would be even nicer if it's the end user who can create the tabs, like a "+" button on top to create a tab, then drag n drop the filter to that new tab.
Anyway, this window need to have sub-menu or tabs...

An update may be coming soon that has a checkbox to enable/disable inner glow. This is because inner glow has objectively slown down GEGL Effects. It only makes sense because inner glow is 15 filters GEGL operations long.

If i cannot figure out a way to disable the inner glow with a checkbox then I will have to make a fork of GEGL Effects and consider the inner glow version to be a beta.

GEGL Effects got an update that gives inner glow a checkbox. It is disabled by default but once checked it will load a normal inner glow.



This speeds up GEGL effects significantly. What I did before was not as effective as this.

If You want the latest version, replace the gegleffects.dll file (from downloaded in post # 44).

Hey I noticed the drop shadow doesn't have any softness. This is likely because you have an outdated copy of invert transparency which doesn't contain the "crop" command. Inner Glow will still work when powered by the old version of invert transparency but it will not allow any softness (like a dropshadow or vignette) below it. My copy of GEGL Effects already comes with the latest version of IT and IT is the only hidden operation to have updated so far.

Check your /gegl-0.4/plug-ins filter to see if you have two copies of it.dll and remove the old one. If not you need to use the latest one.

Eagle Eye.
I had a duplicate (forgot that the Invert Transparency menu item is from invert-alpha.c and not invert_transparency.c)
Thanks for Your valuable attention.

Edit.
Is it my mistake - never:
It's the fault of Rich2005 who proposed a very nice option to store files in subdirectories without warning that this could happen (duplicates won't show up without subdirectories) when new Gegl plugins are developed so quickly (and who will check a lot of subdirectories?).

GEGL Effects and inner glow got a minor update that allows inner glow's radius to shrink to 2. Where as previously it would be stuck at 4. As a result it works better on small text.

We now have two inner glow operations.

The Inner Glow that comes with GEGL Effects is now hidden. The stand alone Inner Glow is now the one that is shown and it has more options such as the ability to fuse with blend modes.

Update version for Gimp-2.10.30/32 Win 64 bit in attachment (8 files).

GEGL Effects may be getting a linear gradient overlay option soon.

It is not ready yet but here is a look at the progress. The checkbox to enable and disable the gradient is not complete.

GEGL Effects now has a gradient checkbox.

GEGL alone has limited on canvas abilities that by definition "suck".
It is impossible to use Gimp's on canvas abilities without rebuilding Gimp from source and white listing GEGL Effects. Something even I had not done.
