GIMP Version: 2.8.10
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level

I recently noticed that I had 2 Gimp versions installed in my program files. So I uninstalled the two, and did a clean install of gimp 2.10, the latest one on the gimp.org site. I did not erase my user files. Then G'mic claimed it could not start because it was missing a file, so I downloaded a full copy from the g'mic website, and added all the files to my user plugin folder (overwriting what was there already).

Now when starting gimp, I get an error about G'mic. "the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click okay to close the application."

But I can open G'mic, except the user interface it too large. The buttons for cancel, apply, etc, are totally off my screen, so I can't resize the box by dragging it up at the bottom.

I had the same problem the other day with the ML Bevel Reflect Plug-in. Somehow, adding the scroll bar file resized the UI box so I could access the bottom buttons.

So just now I went to http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f ... &start=190 and followed Graechan's instructions to add the scrolling file.

That didn't make any difference on the G'mic window. It is still too big.

I am wishing I had just left everything alone, but I haven't visited system restore yet. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Hi Grits, you could try changing the preview size:

On the G'MIC window near the bottom left there's a drop-down box called "Preview size", if you can reach it try changing to a smaller size.

Hope that helps

Thanks for replying. I hadn't noticed that. Changing it to "tiny" changes the UI a little, but not enough to drag the bottom up. If there's no other fix, maybe I can make-do with that.

edit:
after minimizing gimp, then maximizing it, the g'mic box is now about half my screen size, YAY! Thanks again!

Glad you got it working, gmic is too good to miss out
