You can try to erase all the filters in the G'MIC folder, it will be better because all filters are compiled.

So sorry, you're exactly right! I've removed all old filter files and it's fine now (even the progress bar). Sorry to waste your time

I will receive soon a new laptop with a 64bits CPU and Windows8, I'll try to set up the environment to build the plug-in (as I did on Win32).

Fantastic news David; Win7 would have been better though. lololol

This is not a waste of time, however, it highlights a problem on the beta release

Another thing with a 64-bit OS is you don't have to give up 32-bit either thanks to accelerated VMs (my bios supports VM acceleration). Typing this message now in IE8 in Win XP. A 64-bit OS is like having your cake and eating it too. I even run the 64-bit version of Ubuntu in Virtualbox (my virtual launcher and VM creator of choice). Free too.

Well now I can't get my personal gmic file to work (the one which is .gmic on linux). None of my local test filters show up on the list, so I'm guessing either I've missed some news about how it works or I'm just being dumb!

And yup lyle 64bit is the way to go

"The file '.gmic_sources.cimgz' will be useless from now."

does that mean it can be deleted???

garagecoder · **Posted:** Tue Jun 04, 2013 7:01 pm **(#51)**

@samj - it really does look to me like it was compiled using an old version of gmic_gimp.cpp but with a newer gmic.cpp and gmic.h

Process monitor shows it trying to read a file called "C:\Users\<user>\-gimp_update_filters"
hex editor shows "-gimp_update_filters" in the exe which to my knowledge is removed now.

Plus the fact Onkel's version reads my gmic file but yours doesn't!

Sorry to be a pain

That this is a beta version of G'MIC 1.5.6.1 and it may be normal to have problems.
You must make a difference between a stable version (1.5.6.0) and a beta version.

garagecoder · **Posted:** Tue Jun 04, 2013 7:38 pm **(#53)**

I was only pointing it out because the source code for the beta on CVS and even in the source in your zip file doesn't seem to match the compile you made, but yes it's a beta so I should expect there may be problems

Anyway I do apologise for nagging, I won't annoy you any more because I'm going to bed

cecilia · **Posted:** Tue Jun 04, 2013 7:44 pm **(#54)**

downloaded version 1.5.6.0 for Ubuntu and it doesn't show up in the menu at all

I put it in the usual place (I've done this for a long time so I DO know where to put it). I mean nothing else has changed in my system.

Yes, this file can be deleted if you use the new version of G'MIC.

well, I guess this new version of G'Mic just doesn't work with GIMP 2.6 because it just never shows up in the menu. I even downloaded it again in case it got corrupted from a previous download the other day. Still no go.

Yes, it does work with gimp 2.6.
Where did you install the plugin binary ?
