I can launch 1.2.4 from Windows, but not form DOS prompt or Python MareroQ. That's what's weird. When I try to launct 1.2.4 form DOS or the Shellout, I get the error as I stated before. Not sure why; again, I even tried to add the path to the library in question but to no avail. I can, however, copy paste though or save file and open it within 1.2.4 (if I need to preserve the alpha channel since copy paste apparently does not). Of course GIMP 1.2.4 copy/paste is a little different then what we all know GIMP 2x is for those old timers who know what I am talking about. You have to copy to clipboard or paste from clipboard in 1.2.4. GIMP copy/paste used an eternal format for only GIMP otherwise. Dilate/Erosian, as I recall, was backwards from what it is now too. lol

Just wanted to say thanks MareroQ. Can't get LqR or Filter Factory Convertor to work in 2.8 64-bit, so at least I do have a workaround for now. Graechen figured out how to get Mathmap to work in 64-bit 2.8 so at least I am happy with that.

It is only thanks to RobA - great tool - it can in GIMP version 3.0 will be unnecessary - but at the moment is still very valid plugin!

"Since I do like mm's sigmoidal contrast plugin, I'm happy that at least I don't have to use the hack anymore to get this plugin to work, but mm's labcurves plugin still bugs out, so I added a comment at Mickey's thread at the registry and hope he will find a work-a-round to it since labcurves is a cool plugin in (both need TIF; wish Mickey would have used PNG. lol)...."

It is after all the solution (important - ShellOut in version 0.7):


also for Photivo:


Ps. LabCurves requires a complete library Python tcl

Thanks MareroQ!

I still get the identical error when I use shellout in GIMP 2.8 as I do mm's labcurves python Script MareoQ. Not sure of the solution to this one; suspect the version of python that GIMP 2.8 uses is somehow not compatible or interferes with Labcurves or using 64-bit GIMP is the culprit. Don't use it that often and, like many thing's in GIMP, there's more then one way to skin a cat, so I may indeed have to live with this one.

What the hey; now that 2.8 is official, the new side by side. lol

4 years between stable releases.
Hope we don't have to go through that again!

Works for me through Shellout and Gimp-2.8
I have them all installed in the C:\Tools\ directory so i don't have to change the script. (line 66)
Did you install in different directory than Tools Lyle?

No; identical per MareroQ's entry. It still works in 2.6.12 too. Has to now be a 64-bit GIMP issue then since I believe you are still using 32-bit GIMP (and my 2.6.12 is indeed still 32-bit). No other explanation makes sense. I did post this issue at the Registry, but I have now idea what the work-a-round will be.
