Hello there,

As you may know, we are currently implementing a brand new interface for the G'MIC plug-in, based on Qt. It is intended to become a kind of 'universal' plug-in that could be ported for other software than GIMP (in particular, we have Krita in mind).
By the way, this is still a beta project, but we have managed to build a version of this Qt-based plug-in for Windows, and I'd like to share the news with you.
So here is the new plug-in in action, under Windows :



As you can notice, this plug-in has an adjustable preview, as well as a filter search engine (by keywords).
We would be really interested to get your feedback about it.
So, Windows users, if you want to test it, you can get it from these two URLs:

* installer : http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_gi ... _win64.exe
* zip archive : http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_gi ... _win64.zip

There are probably some regressions compared to the current GTK-based implementation, so please be indulgent

Any feedback, bug report and suggestions are welcome !

*Note 1: The sources are not yet available for this plug-in, but they will someday
*Note 2: No Linux versions available due to probable library version mismatches.

Had a couple of error messages.





Win10/Gimp 2.8.20

Win7 - 64bit

After installing i had two versions of G'MIC side by side.
When i uninstalled G'MIC through the control panel, both versions were gone.

So i re-installing the new version and got this error:

Thanks, humm maybe some DLLs are missing.
I'll try to post a new package tomorrow to fix that.

Whether gmic-gimp-qt-build will the test version for Win 32bit?

Probably:
No subdirectory gmic-gimp-qt-build\platforms with additional file qwindows.dll

I've posted a new installer, at the same address, with additional DLLs that could hopefully work as expected :
http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_gi ... _win64.exe

(you have to uninstall the previous one explicitly this time).

Same error message:


Your installer is dropping this pile of files:

Having similar issues to everyone else, downloaded and installed the new version you posted earlier (and explicitly uninstalled the previous version (the 2.0.0 pre version in my case)

Win 10 64-bit / GIMP 2.8.20

OK, I see no solutions to this problem right now.
I'm sorry about that, I'll just remove the files, and maybe try again in the future.
Windows is really an unfriendly system for developers.

Why do not you try to add "qwindows.dll" (in the subdirectory "Platforms")???

Apparently, samj has maybe an archive that works : http://samjcreations.blogspot.com/2017/ ... rsion.html
Maybe you can test and tell me if that is working with her version ?

Today I do not have access to a computer 64bit - so I asked for 32bit (or source...).

It has the same problem.

With a very quick Google I found at least two threads on Stackoverflow that suggest doing exactly what MareroQ is saying, put qwindows.dll in a platforms sub-directory.

Update from

http://samjcreations.blogspot.ca/2017/0 ... rsion.html

has the required "platforms" files and works.

This in a Win7 VM



Unzipped (7-zip) put the 'gmic' folder in 'C:\' Added that to the plugins folder in Preferences.

I'm getting an error when i try to process a lissajous animated sequence... haven't tried much else thus far.

I

I don't have internet connection at home. every time I update gmic I must go
to their site for the manual download. I did this last Friday from:

gmic.eu/update200.gmic

On my windows 7 professional the exact path to install the file "update200.gmic"
is:
C:\USERS\BA\APPDATA\ROAMING\GMIC
APPDATA is a hidden folder by default in windows. You should unhide it and
drop the update200.gmic into the proper folder.

Hope this helps...
although I have never seen that error message. Just missing over a hundred filters
until I gather the update200.gmic file...

Where should a copy of the update200.gmic file be placed
