Just upgraded to GIMP 2.10.36 today and was trying to use the GEGL function 'Fog or Cloud Effect'. As soon as I clicked on that item GIMP said no way, I'm outa here.

You have an outdated version of Gegl LinuxBeaver plugins - you should update them (I know because now they are without the G icon ).

MareroQ - thanks for that. I have been loading those dlls of interest to me from the individual streams as they were posted by contrast_. but it all moves too fast for me!

I think I have seen a reference from you that theses dlls/plugins are now in a Gimpscripts repository somewhere - is that right?

No - but if contrast_ expresses such a wish, they can be found there (he can send it himself or I can do it).
Of course, you can find the latest versions here:
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver?tab=repositories

I sent an email to Gimp scripts back in late 2022 and was ignored. I would love to be on their though. Mr. Q can help me there.



I remember fixing the bug with Fog a few months back

MareroQ - followed your link but was confused by the techno babble and could not see a replacement/updated dll file for Windows.

Does this mean that I have to download code and compile it or do something else. Confused in my old age

MareroQ - thank you so much for helping me out. I have now updated both sets of files from the zips, to which you pointed. My apologies for putting extra work on you, but thanks again for your contribution. Old age sometimes worries me
