Hi - I just updated to GIMP 2.10.30 and now getting this when I select David's batch processor -

The procedure entry point _ZdaPv could not be located in the dynamic link library C:Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\2.0\plug-ins\dbp\dbp.exe

Can anyone help at all?

Probably not.
For Gimp-2.10.30 two problems combined:
- changes to Glib (this can be fixed by recompiling dbp),
- outdated code needs updating but the author abandoned the plugin 9 years ago.
Therefore, the older build for Windows has also been removed from gimpscripts.net.

That is a very old plugin Try the attached, a 64 bit samj compiled file. Unzip, put dbp.exe (replace what you have) in your plugins folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins.
A quick test, resize - rotate - rename - change format. Got a warning but it worked.



A far better bet is the BIMP batch plugin from https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/

Edit: This is probably the same as the 64 bit plugin removed from gimpscripts due to crashes. I really do recommend BIMP.

Thanks rich2005 that worked perfectly.
I'll check out the BIMP first chance I get.

As you are obviously very knowledgeable on these matters can I ask your opinion on the best software to fix and perhaps colorize old photos on windows10?

I had a 2 week trial of myheritage and the results were good but I didn't fancy the cost as it included things I didn't need like fam history. I looked at remini as someone said they were behind the myheritage and the price is a lot more reasonable.

Any opinions? Sorry if this change in subject is frowned upon - not sure on the rules.

MareroQ - thanks for your reply also.

I would start a new thread, asking for advice. There are gimpchat members who are skilled in fixing old photos.
Include a typical 'old photo' if possible.

Who will remember that tomorrow?
Load image, click 1,2,3 and Gimp Crash.

Who will be "guilty": You? maybe me? or Samj? or maybe Gimp developers?

I have a question about the BIMP plugin.

Is there a way to add a GIMP procedure to the manipulation set that doesn't show up in the procedure list?

Thanks.

When I do that, that is when the procedure that I want to do does not show up in the procedure list.

What procedure (function) would You like to perform?
Sometimes You need to write a mini plugin to get around a problem.

BW-border-ENG-v2.scm

Submit the script and maybe I'll show you a different solution.
(BIMP has a few limitations - e.g. when the plug-in creates new layers, especially without merging them).

Submit how?

Make a copy of the file, compress it (zip), and attach it to the next post.
We no longer use carrier pigeons.
Since some plugins have more than a dozen versions - I need to see the one You are using.

BIMP has a whole list of restricted terms that can stop a script-fu or plugin working. Not everything that registers can be used without a modification/work-around.
However BW-border-ENG-v2.scm see: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6164&start=20 is not one, it just registers in a strange way.

In BIMP and Other GIMP procedure search for start (that's right start) That gets the dialogue where you can enter the values previously determined. I have tried it in linux Gimp 2.10.22 / BIMP 2.6 looks like this. Seems to work but not very well, Rounded corners not working ?



A better alternative for borders (and lots of color tweaks) is the Gimp gmic plugin http://www.gmic.eu. You determine the effect, copy the parameters to clipboard and paste straight into BIMP. All-in-one screenshot, once you have the gmic parameter, you can close gmic.

Rich2005: Whoa, Dude!

That was it!

Don't know how you come up with that, but you awesome!

Thanks!

You mentioned GMIC. I used to love GMIC but I haven't been able to get that to work for me for some time. Any suggestions on that? I am using Gimp 2.10.28 flatpak on Linux Mint 20.2.

Thanks again!

You should probably update to Gimp 2.10.30 however for a flatpak
Open a terminal and 1) flatpak list to see what is installed.
Then, 2) flatpak install gimp which should give a listing of what is available
You should be using the 2-40 gmic (I think) type in the relevant number and follow the instructions.

Well, I tried updating to 2.10.30 flatpak but it keeps telling me app.org.GIMP, branch stable is already installed. I did what you suggested concerning gmic but it tells me that it is already installed.

open a terminal and type

It'll produce a list of what is installed which you can post here, so we can help further

Here are the results:
