Release of G'MIC 1.7.3

AKMusician · **Joined:** Jun 30, 2016 **Posts:** 16

Is there a 1.7.3 version of the gmic_gimp plugin for 32-bit Intel Macs running 10.6.8?

If not, is what is the latest version of G'MIC that I can run? And, is there a mirror for this file?

Bear in mind, I am running Gimp-2.8.6-SnowLeopard-ai32 from the lisanet Gimp on OS X sourceforge page.

If there is a newer version of Gimp that could be running, please let me know!

THANK YOU!

Not sure about G'MIC,
but the current stable release of GIMP is at 2.8.16 as of 2015-11-21.

You can check out Gimp.org's download page using the link below.

Current Stable Version

Unluckily not, at least not from my side. I have stopped preparing these builds with gmic 1.6.8 end of last year. Oh no, 32bits is even longer ago, sorry.

Ha! I said "Bear" in mind... That's funny.

Again, Wallace, I'm looking for the latest versions that will work on a 32-bit Intel Mac. Unless I'm not looking correctly, I can't find any newer version than 2.8.6

Thanks again.

then click on the OSX link to reveal the downloads.

The latest download link (the one you're directing me to) is definitely not for 32-bit OSX. It's even written into the link address:

...mirror/pub/gimp/v2.8/osx/gimp-2.8.16-x86_64-1.dmg (made evident by the "x86_64" part)

Even the builds found on the "Older Downloads" page are all for 64-bit machines.

I thought that the 2.8.14 or 2.8.10 builds would work, since there's no designation in the links for them. But, I tried them both to no avail. If, I'm wrong about that, let me know and I can try again or if you know of anyone who has compiled 2.8.16 for 32-bit OSX, I would greatly appreciate the connection.

Thank you!

I do believe that the download provides both the 64 bit = x64 and the 32 bit = x86.

This is what the file looked like when I downloaded it.
Notice the x86 and x64 in the file's name.

When you install it,
it should detect which one needs to be installed.

Have you tried to install this Gimp osx file yet?

I have tried to install it. The splash screen never shows. The icon just bounces once in the dock and closes.

I believe x86_64 means 64-bit only. 32-bit would be described as ia32 or i686.

I'm not a Mac user,
so I can't really say what is going on.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi, just tried to install g'mic 1.7.3 but Gimp tells me version 1.7.4_pre has been installed and when trying to use Color Abstraction Paint it tells me it can no longer be found. I hope it is still available and has only shifted position, but I looked through all the filters and am unable to locate it. I use this filter extensively in my work and am hoping of course that it hasn't simply been dropped :-(

Me again, Dream Smoothing, another filter I use on a very regular basis, also seems to have disappeared :-(

And a 3rd message: of the 16 favourites I have in G'MIC, TEN now tell me "This fave links to an unreferenced entry/set of G'MIC commands" - each reference mentioned has (not recognized) behind it. Can somebody please advise me what I can do to restore?

Have you tried clicking on the refresh button?

I went back to version 1.6.9 which I still had lying around, but will try another install and see if that helps. Previous updates have been without any hassles, but this one has spat the dummy :-(

First, x86_64 I have always found refers to a program that runs both.

I don't know if this will help, but I encountered the other problem of it not starting in windows 7. When I looked in task manager, I found GIMP running, one for every time I tried to start the program. Finally tracked in down to my antivirus program and solved the problem by turning off the auto-sandbox feature.
