I found a new crash in GIMP 3 that happens with image upload based GEGL plugins of mine. Technically only 35+ something plugins updated but I decided to just wrap all 90 plugins; which is everything. It is not likely most users will trigger the crash but here's the fix. The crash force closes GIMP so you'd lose all work if it happens.



All 90+ GEGL plugins below - crash free







Also off topic this ships with my new plugin Text Logo Maker, my new text styling engine that is simpler then GEGL Effects but faster, much faster when doing live text editing. Above you can see a pic of it.

Also I wouldn't mind using this thread to discuss the weakness of GEGL plugins. Unlike normal plugins they actually crash GIMP when they crash, always without exception as they are not independent/containerized like script fu, gmic and python stuff. The only way GIMP team can fix this is to make a container for GEGL plugins like script fu and python have but that would take A LOT of work.

I don't know if you can containerize them if they are utilized in non destructive layer effects Beaver. Because it seems if any GEGL plug-in that is used on a layer effect fails, then that effect will also become void as well.

Maybe if you could merge layer effects to contain them in case of a crash, and then unmerge them if they needed to be adjusted? Perhaps merging them before a crash.

Thanks for the update by the way.

I have not had any issues with your last set of plug-ins but i will replace them just in case.

@contrast_

It's great to be able to download all your filters from GimpChat too.
Gegl has a description of the operations:
https://gegl.org/operations/
Are you planning something similar for your plugins?

Every Github profile has descriptions of my plugins, even GimpChat pages talk about them. I don't know if I should mimic Pippin's format at gegl.org.

The Pippin format has the advantage of listing the next variables and their scope. If this cannot be achieved semi-automatically from the source file (.c) then I understand that for 91 filters it is too tedious a task.

its very easy now for me to compile all my plugins. Back in 2023 I had a sloppy disorganized workflow now things are type/click and go

Attached is latest source code and binaries of everything (except bash plugin), no emergency if you already updated here. Just a few new filters like Orton and minor changes elsewhere

In case of duplicate plugins or scripts, the first one encountered is loaded.
I wonder how it looks in the case of Gegl in Gimp 3?
Are your plugin updates included in the filters available by default in Gimp 3?
A lot of messages (I know they were always there, but they have increased significantly)

There should only be one of each plugin without duplicates

No none of my plugins are default in GIMP 3.

The defaults are "Styles", "Inner Glow" and "Bevel" and they are gegl: namespaced, not lb: name spaced.

Thanks for the plugins. I will save them and use them when gimp 3.0 is officially released.

Latest Update, Inner Glow and Misc Bevel Collect updated to use a crop with aux.

Let me clarify. Micro updates to my plugins happen all the time like this I just wait for many of them before alerting the public. Now I tell everyone every time something little changes.

GEGL Effects image opacity switch was broke this update fixes it. Other then that no changes have been made. The latest GEGL Effects is Dec 5 2024

1. Photo to Cartoon 2 had a mistake where it used the GEGL name space (gegl: was changed to lb:)

2. Mini shape inprints was added

No other changes and from here on I'm only going to alert on updates when something big happens this is getting ridiculously but mini updates like this happen all the time I just keep quiet and only alert the public when serious updates happen.

GEGL's lead developer broke presets on GEGL inner glow and all plugins of mine that use it. Including GEGL effects.

If you update the presets will load accurate. If you don't update all GEGL inner glow presets above 1.0 will be set to 0.5 making them semi translucent. That's all the March 8 2025 GEGL Effects update goes

Thank you for the updated plug-ins Beaver.

Download to all plugins of mine updated March-16-2025

This may be the final update ever, two things changed so far.

1. A breakage with my plugin GEGL Metallic was fixed
2. Edge Bevel was updated to use a different default preset









Now that GIMP 3's released I can a guarantee stability on that particular version of GIMP forever.

In this update I renamed three filters without breaking non-destructive edits or presets. The operation name is still the same but titles and sliders are different

Bevel (to blend) now has different slider names with a working azimuth slider

Sharp Bevel was renamed to Sharp Chamfer Bevel

Custom Bevel was renamed to Bump Bevel

Source code and binaries of over 105+ GEGL plugins.





1. A new version of GEGL Effects is released called just "GEGL Effects" (lb:effects)it can co-exist with all the others versions of GEGL Effects. It has a better outline only ability and easier to use gradient. One new thing about it is that it locks sliders that require a checkbox to use. meaning certain sliders will not move until their checkbox is active.

2. a filter called "Day one" was released which is a mimick of GEGL Effects the day it was first released May 11 2022

3.a generic plugin called "outline" that does an outline and nothing else was released based on one of the first proto plugins I made but never released. Though the code was rewritten from scratch

4. A important but unnoticable change is that GEGL Effects Classic edition (lb:layereffects) was modified so it no longer applies emboss at 1% at startup. The vast majority of users of this plugin will not notice the difference because it is obviously difficult to see a filter applied at 1%.

Update includes all 105+ GEGL plugins on their latest versions. I confirmed all of them work on Windows 10 64bit. But Engrave was excluded from Windows due to paranoia of a crash in GIMP 2.10







If Windows users want to download engrave due so manually at your own risk here

I'm very surprised by Your comment because the plugin "Engrave Image" works perfectly in Gimp-2.10 Win10 after Your last fix.
