g'mic with gimp 2.9

dinasset · **Posted:** Mon Sep 21, 2015 4:33 am **(#1)**

maybe this info is of interest for David (I informed Partha already)

I'm experimenting the new portable version Partha prepared including Gimp 2.9 and G'MIC latest 1.6.6.0 pre

When I apply a GMIC filter to an image:
- no errors if applied on the open layer
- no errors if applied on a new layer
- error ("gmic crashed...") if applied to a new active layer (but the filter is applied properly)

Thus IMHO there could be a problem in the interface gmic>gimp to change the layer which has to be active

Thanks dinasset, just tested here, and it works for me with Ouput mode -> New active layer.
Does it crash with all the filters or only few of them ?

Hi David
Because before your request I got the crashes with my personal G'mic filters, I wanted now to try with some std filter
I started selecting one from each Group, thus:
-ARRAY array faded: crashes
-ARTISTIC cartoon: crashes
-B&W charcoal: crashes
then I stopped because 3 over 3 looks very close to...Always

my environment is:
WINDOWS 10
GIMP 2.9.1 Partha's with G'mic 1.6.6.0 pre (portable edition)
As I said the crash doesn't avoid to get the outcome, correctly produced
(it only doesn't properly terminates because you can't "reverse" the action)
new layer (NOT active) works without problems

So, I've get the latest updates from the git, recompiled GIMP 2.9 again, and the latest version of the plug-in (1.6.6.0_pre09212015).
I run GIMP 2.9, open the G'MIC plug-in, select "Output mode" -> "New active layer(s)", and go for the first filter 'Array [faded]'.
And it works... And without any error message.
I have no explanations so far, as I'm not able to reproduce the bug.
If anyone else get the same issue, maybe he could tell us?

Ah thanks telperion, that helps for sure!
I've committed a quick fix on the git repo that should prevent this error to appear.
Maybe it will also avoid the crash on Windows ? I've told Partha about the fix, we have to wait he tries to compile the plug-in once again to be sure

Thanks for reporting!

This error also occurs for the basic version for Win32

The new version of the GMIC-minimal works well for Win 32.

ps. New active layer(s) - works well
