The best text editor to use is Notepad ++ in Windows, but regular ole Notepad should work.

Just don't save it under txt format.

I know one problem... I wasn't copying the ## things above and below the script, and what should I save as?

.gmic

NO extensions and not in TXT format, I believe you only have two file type options. (Depending on what you are using).

Well I opened it in Notepad++ and I just save it as .gmic? That made it a text file...

Wait no it didn't testing now
That is what regular Notepad did

Last question, where do I find this Script now?

Edit i wrote before all the replies...so "before" is not more actual

before reply that you can't save a file with a name starting with a dot get notepad++
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download

just lauch it chose to create a new file paste the code there and save as .gmic...again .gmic is the file name not a extension so would be not stained_glass.gmic but simply .gmic and don't forgot the dot or will not work

the # are not relevant are just there as separators

you will found somewhere on the top (where are the fav )

Hurray! Time for some fun now! Thanks for the help getting me along with this, as I am not exactly the greatest with computers

Thanks for the help, and look forward to your release PC

Just to clarify what PC just said about faves:

Faves are indented on top of the filters in G'MIC, see my screenshot:

Sorry for that oversight Willy; completely forgot that .gmic is not there by default (now you know why I hate doing tuts; lol). I use to have to be a details guy, but I've gotten lazy over the years now that I'm no longer required to be one unfortunately. .gmic is a text file without the .txt extension. If you have the setting to not see known extentions, then uncheck that, then all you have to do is rename .gmic.txt to just .gmic or, like Mahvin already pointed out, just save it under the any file option (instead of txt) and give it the .gmic extension and all is well.

I had the same oversight, Lyle. We get so ingrained to these things, we start thinking they are just there, automatically. I even had this moment on the tutorial, until I finally realized I had to make the file, 15 comments later.

Willy make sure also when you save your PRESETS (not filters) in the file .gmic_faves that they do not have any white spaces.
For instance

Preset here
Preset here
right underneath each other.
You will find quite a few of them on-site to add to your faves file.

Keep an eye out for new ones as PC adds them constantly.You probably will not find them anywhere else other than Flickr.Were kinda spoiled around here.Must be the rain dances.

Enjoy your new toys!

Actually i post preset here seldom on flickr
PS
also should be no blanc spaces also after the last preset.
And always use notepad++ for paste the code and save:
the standard notepad may break the lines

Thank you for all the tips guys

Look forward to some more of PC's Work,
Willy

I am sure you will not have to wait very long.
Looking at the gears going in PC's head right now with this Stained Glass filter he has been editing.

well may take a bit because i must first write a mirror filter ( or at least modify the mirror array filter )
because i will need that to complete a code for Symmetrical Stained Glass

PS please remember i am Italian and i hate cold even more rainy cold
So please forget rain dances and focus on Sun Dance

How about Humidity waves? Warm and makes you not want to go out... and they are both moisture so maybe there is a humidity dance

Still too cold here for humidity dance

Well what else is there? We could always just send you Good Mojo, and then you could finish faster...

before i going on, anybody noticed unwanted blur with the last version i posted respect to the previous?
(should not happen , i didn't notice in my test but i prefer be sure )

No reply
Fine , i didn't notice any unwelcome blur, you too or would be some replies so the blur trick worked as i hoped

well if so i go for next step...and in any case would be no problem remove the blur step

Now i 'm going to add some Magick Mirror options
