I'm having a play at using G'MIC commands from a GIMP script, but this question probably applies equally to the CLI interface

I'm using the film emulation filter:

And that leaves me aware that I'm essentially picking which emulation to use from a list, here it's going to be item 1, which at present is "Agfa APX 100".

The problem is that G'MIC is constantly changing, so I have no guarantee that item 1 will remain "Agfa APX 100".

So my question is: Is there a way to query the preset labels so that I can at least confirm it's still what I think it is?

Ideally I like to be able to get the complete list so that I could offer those options to the user of my script.

Hello paynekj.
I guess this could work for you, as we it explicitly invokes the preset name (instead of a number) :

Thanks and now I've dug around in the G'MIC source code I can see all the others.

I think I might manually pick out 9 of the B&W presets and make a script to give me thumbnail examples of the 9 to help choose which I like best for any particular image. I feel I need this as G'MIC offers too many choices to be able to make reasonable comparisons between.

Well that was fun.

I made the script create a smaller image and put various emulations as layers to make it easy to compare the effects. I've attached a smaller .xcf to show what I created.

Thanks for the help.

My favourite emulation for this image was the Rollei Ir 400:
