Hi Gimp and Gmic users,
I am a retired mathematician and 70+ ...
Using Gimp sometimes often, then other stuff takes my PC-time
Very fond too about Blender and via Blender to Python and now
PythonFu in Gimp is for me hot topic.
For example this may be interesting:
GIMP 2.8.18 Python Console
Python 2.7.10 (default, May 23 2015, 09:40:32) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
>>> image = gimp.image_list()[0]
>>> drawable = image.layers[0]
>>> pdb.plug_in_gmic(image, drawable, 1, "-Annular_Steiner_Chain_Round_Tile_en 800,1,20.25,20.25,88.88,4.26,42.6842,12,21.3,1,0,0,0,255,0,255,255,0,127,0,0,255,127,0")
>>>

That is too the reason to register here. Other such commands in the Python console with Gmic were without succes.

And a second thing running on windows an msys console and starting there Gimp you can see a lot of ... Warnings and Errors (for debugging yourself nice) and e.g this not
understandable stuff:

Peter@Asus MSYS /c/Program Files/GIMP 2/bin
$ ./gimp-2.8.exe -d
GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "zlib1__.dll"
(C:\Users\Peter\.gimp-2.8\gmic-1.7.5-win64\zlib1__.dll)

Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)

GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "zlib1.dll"
(C:\Users\Peter\.gimp-2.8\gmic-1.7.5-win64\zlib1.dll)

Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)

GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "tbb.dll"
(C:\Users\Peter\.gimp-2.8\gmic-1.7.5-win64\tbb.dll)

Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)

GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "ssleay32.dll"
(C:\Users\Peter\.gimp-2.8\gmic-1.7.5-win64\ssleay32.dll)


And a lot more complaints abour *.dll all out of the directory where I pasted Gmic.

OK, now you have hopefully an idea what interests me

Welcome to GimpChat.
Did you actually install G'MIC or just unzip the folder to the .gimp-2.8 directory? The G'MIC folder should be in the plug-ins folder. Or did you point GIMP preferences to that "gmic-1.7.5-win64" folder?

I noticed that, too. It shows the zip was called from the .gimp folder, and not the plugins folder. Good eye, Rod!

Oh, and welcome to GIMP Chat, PKHG! We need all the mathematicians we can get!

Welcome to GimpChat, PKHG!! I'm glad Rod and Mahvin understand all those statements as I am not a coder and it's a foreign language to me! There is plenty of people here to help you, though!

Welcome to Gimp Chat, PKHG.

I unzipped Gmic in an own directory (folder) and said to Gimp look there too for plugins ...

(had just my TV evening ... Quarks & Co ..)

Ciao

What nice, all those WELCOME ...

So does this mean you got G'MIC working now?
