Yes i know
the point is see what part of the gimp core was modified to support the tool, its dependencies
Then what was modified in the code is reflected in the binary and i have the binary of both ... and luckily both version are sufficiently similar to support "transplants" (to successfully transplant all plugins i had only to fix a couple of "missing dll " errors )
i hope you follow my reasoning :
i prefer work at binary level when possible and MAYBE in this case is possible
I like much Onkel version but there are at least 2 features in the Samj build i was using ,
(1 the possibility to load the program choosing a "Basic" version that will load faster and smoother, or a "Full extra version "
2 the possibility to run a fully portable GMIC ,Samj version stores GMIC definition files internally )
that i want to preserve.
Also the Onkel Hatti "gimprun.exe" that allow to use his version alarm most of antivirus , that with default setting will delete , or block it , ..and then gimp will not work
...for some reason instead the Samj utility is much more tolerated by antivirus so i will prefer use it to avoid to respond to all users alarmed by antivirus alert or deluded because "It doesn't work" (In the ,alas very frequent cases of antivirus just silently deleting "suspect"files without asking confirm )
But i believe for doing it i would need the help of Samj and/or Onkel HattiAnyway i am quite satisfied with this new version i am testing
