Hi - Can anyone explain how to install UFRaw & what version to use for this version of GIMP???

I installed ufraw-0.19.2-2 and set the Settings for Remote GIMP Command to "C:\Software\GIMP-2.8\bin\gimp.exe". But when I click on the GIMP icon, I get the following error:
Error activating Gimp.
Failed to execute helper program (Invalid argument)

Thanks,

PaulS

From within Gimp have you tried to open (File| Open) a RAW file? If you installed gimp-ufraw plug-in properly you should see a UFRaw UI.

@Odinbc - I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit. I downloaded gimp_2_8_15-64bits_20140901_Portable.zip and the only thing I can find on UFRaw is: C:\Software\gimp-2.8\Preferences\old-plug-ins\ufraw-gimp.exe...

So my question is "how do I install the UFRaw plugin & where do I find it?

Thank you,

PaulS

I'm on Linux and did my own build of the latest version (UFRaw-0.21), so I can't help with Windows. I've read the last official Windows build of UFRaw plug-in doesn't work in Gimp 2.8. The stand alone version of UFRaw should work for you and integrates with Gimp via it's toolbar button. I believe it's the same in Windows.

yes - I see - however, as I said:

From the UFRaw toolbar,
Error activating Gimp.

Worth a look: Subject: Raw software

I saw that in my search... but I didn't get to Page 3 of 4 of the comments...

I downloaded the files & placed in appropriate folder (..\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins)
