OK, thanks Larry.
Hence, it's me.
(only another question: did you start from the .zip file?)

@Dinasset
No, I started it in Gimp not from the zip file. Have a good tomorrow.

So you used the .exe?
(My previous question was:
- did you download the .zip file, unzipped it and moved the unzipped folder to Gimp folder?
The other way is:
- download the .exe file and execute it)
Anyhow, thanks.

I never use the installe, Diego; only the zip files. All appear well for me too.

Fine, I have to re-try. Thanks.

RE: (only another question: did you start from the .zip file?)


No, I used the zip version and dropped them in my user folder...if that helps to clarify.

Tried again.
Cleaned the user/gimp folder removing all folders related to G'MIC.
Inserted only the unzipped folder of the new qt version: same error; no problem, I have the GTK running (and likely the previous qt release, if I want)

Edit: I confirm that moving back the previous release of qt (17.03), I have it running.
That's OK for me, now.

Here the screenshot:

That's interesting dinasset, there must be something going wrong with the new version.
A bit hard to debug right now since we haven't been able to reproduce the bug, but we'll investigate !

David,
do not care any more for this error I found, because it happens only on my "standard" user, who is full of programs/filters.
I repeated the installation on a clean user (whom I use only for testing new filters in a totally "clean" environment) and qt opens regularly.
So, certainly there is "something" in the compilation of the last release which differs from the previous compilations, all running also in my standard user environment, but very likely it's very difficult to find out "what", so simply forget.
I will test next release when ready.

win 7 64bit qt 04/10/17 version works fine for me.
I just open the zip file in the plug-ins folder and let it overwrite all dll's.
It did not find it to distort the layers while working on selections.
It shows the command string in the script dialog box!
Very good!

Hi,

Wow!, I can only recommend that G'MIG plug-in should have an option to install and run as a stand-alone program. IMO, it's a very capable and a complete tool own its own for photo effects.

Just thinking.

Its much faster on my 2 core machine now too David. =)

The plug-in is already available as a stand-alone exe, check this link : http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_qt_win64.zip

Great news : Sébastien has finally released the source code of G'MIC-Qt on github, licensed under GPL3.
Do not hesitate to play with it and report any weirdness ! Link : https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt

Ronounours "Link : https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt4"

Sorry the link didn't work for me.

That is a bit strange a 404, however, back off one level to https://github.com/c-koi then choose the project which is
https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt What is the difference? the '4'

As Rich figured out, the correct link is https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt

Don't see the need of the source, except for other OS.
Am I wrong?

@dinasset : from our point of view (developers), that's wrong indeed
Now, other people have the opportunity to compile and test, report bugs, propose patches to the code, etc..
That means more tests, more feedback and a more robust code in the future.
Something we couldn't do without releasing the source code.
That's one strength of FLOSS, without any doubts.
