When I open G'mic in GIMP, it is to WIDE....it's alright VERTICALLY....how do I make it SCREEN-SIZE?

Try updating to the latest stable version 1.5.9.2, this is one of the main problem that should have been fixed.

It <IS> 1.5.9.2, Ronounours....

I guess I'll wait 'til they heal their ways....

Maybe you should try this one :

It's 1.5.9.3 beta, but it should work like 1.5.9.2. And there is the OpenMP accelerationn available for some filters

Wondering that myself. I downloaded and installed the beta.

OpenMP (http://openmp.org/) is an API for parallel programming. It helps in developing multi-threaded code able to use multiple cores when doing heavy computation (which is often the case for image processing). I've recently started (3 days ago to be honest ) to add a lot of OpenMP directives into the G'MIC source code, and I have already very interesting speed gains for time-consuming filters. If you have a multi-core machine, the next 1.5.9.3 version of G'MIC will be probably very interesting for you.

For instance, on my 12x2 cores machines, I get roughly a x3.5 speed gain on the computation of the 'Dream Smoothing' filter.

as I've described it here : https://plus.google.com/117441237982283 ... oshujYowPY

For some other operations, this can be even more.
This is of course adding an additional dependency to the OpenMP Library (so an additional .dll) for the plug-in, but this is really worth it.
Samj has been doing some compilation tests recently for Win64, and she confirms the speed gain as well.

1.5.9.3 is still in a 'beta' state, but it seems to be already quite stable. I will add more and more OpenMP directives in the future, so that 1.5.9.3 final should be even faster (on multi-core machines).

Think I'll just wait on the Alpha version of 1.5.9.3....

Thanks!!!!

My GMIC has been opening up at different sizes in the last day. Sometimes even changing but not during a computation. is this because of latest changes? I only have 1.5.9.0
Often when it does this it is too large for my screen and I haven't even got scroll bars.
I have them normally but not when it resizes itself.

Thanks for the info David, very much appreciated. I was messing around with it, with no issues at all. Seems quite stable.

I installed G'MIC & I am using the 1.5.9.3 version and I don't have any problems with the resize.

Hello. I am installing SamJ's install files. I downloaded the zip file, and extracted all. I put everything in the "64bits" folder into my plugin folder, which replaced my existing files.

Am I supposed to put the folders called "GMIC_filters" or "scr" somewhere?

Thanks, and thank you SamJ!

Grits, the entire 64 bits folder goes in to your .gimp-2.8/plug-ins file ..
location of folders is in your C drive->Users folder->YourName->.gimp-2.8->plug-ins

Thanks mackenzieh. I guess the extra files are just extra.

You're welcome. I don't think the G'MIC folder and the scr folder is extra since they are needed for G'MIC to work.
