G'MIC Qt for GIMP 2.8 64bit download missing?

Hello, I can only find a download for the 32-bit version of G'MIC for GIMP 2.8. There used to be a link, but it was removed? I actively still use GIMP 2.8 but I recently had to reinstall and I lost G'MIC. Does anyone still have the old installer or zip file? I very much need this and would be very grateful for it.

Thanks for reading,

Retro Spence

Hi, Retro Spence and welcome to Gimp Chat.

I have a gmic.exe plugin that is used in my GIMP 2.8.
The file was located within my user plugin folder.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

2.8's last release was 2017 tmk and last major distros shipped with it in 2018-early2019 so it makes sense by now it would be removed.

You all need to make a guided archive if you wish to keep using 2.8 GIMP
