Yeah, Graechan, I've had a look at the other presets, but there's a lot more work involved.
The two I've done were relatively trivial and just required the "core" command sequence extracted and parameters substituted.
But the other 3 are long presets and need a lot more thinking about. It would be better, really, to get these presets back into GMIC proper. I don't know why samj has removed them.

Oh, and the preset used by your "Hallucination" option uses another GMIC gimp- command which requires a text sequence enclosed in double quotes .. which is another problem .. I've already used escaped quotes to contain the GMIC command and so I can't nest another level of quotation ..not even sure there's a way around that yet.

Thank you so much jontait2 and Graechan. You are fantastic!

Maybe a hint : you can include a complete G'MIC command file in a G'MIC pipeline, using the -command as well, like this :



where -command1 is defined in file command_file.gmic.
If you can put the command file in the same folder as your .scm script, I suppose there are no reasons your .scm script couldn't load it and use the G'MIC commands defined inside. Of course, doing this also overloads the previous commands defined with the same name.

Hmmm...
That may well be a better way of doing it!
Thank you, David.

@Ronounours:
I have now tried running the missing samj filters from a .gmic file with some success.

Good news: these filters all work okay, both from my personal .gmic file (~/.gmic) and from a special file (~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic) and with both GMIC versions 1.6.2.0 and 1.6.3.1pre ...so these filters have not been "broken" by the recent changes to GMIC.

Bad news: when run via the Gimp-GMIC plugin, the GMIC interpreter seems to require a full path specification (from root) ..it does not recognise "~" for the home directory . (It works okay using GMIC command-line from Linux terminal, of course, but not from the plugin!)
eg. if I try executing: (plug-in-gmic 1 1 0 1 "-command ~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic"), I get this output on the Gimp console:
[gmic]-1./ Start G'MIC interpreter.
[gmic]-1./ Import custom commands from expression '~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic'
[gmic]./ *** Error *** Command '-command': Syntax error in expression '~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic'.
[gmic]-1./ Abort G'MIC interpreter.

[gmic_gimp]./error/ When running command '-command ~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic', this error occured :
*** Error in ./ *** Command '-command': Syntax error in expression '~/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic'.

I'm not even sure what directory the Gimp-GMIC plugin takes as its default-directory ..it's not ~ or ~/.gimp-2.8 or even ~/.gimp-2.8/plugins.
So the only way I've managed to get this to work so far is by specifying a full path like this:
(plug-in-gmic 1 1 0 1 "-command /home/jjt/.gimp-2.8/scripts/Gmic-Logos-presets.gmic")

This is obviously going to be a bit of a problem because it is platform-dependent and user-specific.
[In Python, there is an "os" library with methods to automatically construct pathnames for the particular platform in use, but there is no equivalent in TinyScheme ...so constructing pathnames is always rather problematic.]

Any ideas?

Since the filters work perfectly well from ~/.gmic, I still think the best solution would be to get these filters back into the Gimp-GMIC filter repository ..I don't know why samj took them out (if she did) but if she doesn't want to maintain them any more, perhaps you could (at least temporarily) adopt them into Testing>Ronounours. That way, the filters will also be available to the user for manual invocation in the Gimp-GMIC filter tree.

Maybe this could help :


?

Aha! Excellent, that works. Thank you David, I'll have another try now.

Edit:
Just as a footnote:
Script-Fu does provide some platform-specific literals to construct pathnames, including:
gimp-directory = "/home/<user>/.gimp-2.8" (Linux) or "\Users\<user>\.gimp-2.8" (Windows)
DIR-SEPARATOR = "/" (Linux) or "\" (Windows)

So the same effect can be achieved thus:

We have the technology to re-build him it...







@Graechan
I've tested this on Linux but not Windows ..it should work okay, but...
Please give it a good testing and then, if and when you're happy, make an official release on GimpScripts.
(Change my "hack3" designation to your Rel 1.5 or whatever.)

Unzip and copy both files to your personal scripts folder.

Edit:
I have now tested this on Windows 7 x64 and it seems to work okay.. over to you Graechan.

That's strange!
Has anybody else tested this latest version - if so, did it work? (I notice that it's been downloaded several times, presumably by people other than Graechan).

@Graechan:
please try starting Gimp from console and see what messages come out when you try running the script for eg. "Hallucinogenic".

It runs OK on my Linux gimp 2.8.14 running Gmic 1.6.3.1.

Okay, thank you Kimba.

The initial declaration (at line 86 in the latest script):

sets up the path-string which will be passed to the G'MIC plugin and thence the G'MIC interpreter.

[The "@{-path_gimp}" tells the G'MIC interpreter to use the setting in it's environment variable "path_gimp" as the start of the pathname; that should be automatically set to "C:\Users\<user>\.gimp-2.8" on a Windows system.]

As I said above, please try starting Gimp from console and see what messages come out when you try running the script for eg. "Hallucinogenic".

This is the error returned when running
