Hello internet, I'm contrast/beaver welcome back today I'll be covering post GIMP 3 RC1 news in this thread. Currently GIMP 3 RC1 is NOT released but it probably be released tomorrow (nov 4 2024) and no new features are planned until after RC1. In this thread we can only expect a few more bugs to be solved like issues with clipping because technically speaking GIMP 3 is 90%-95% done imo.

Why is the main gimp site still letting people download GIMP 2.10 by default still. Does that mean GIMP 3 is not official yet?
I just changed my fiverr gig to say "I will write you a GIMP 2,10 Plug-in" instead of "I will write you a GIMP Plug-in" since I won't be able to write GIMP 3 plug-in until I don't know when.

If GIMP 3 isn't compatible with old GIMP 2.10 Plug-ins, there will lots of work desired for clients who want to go GIMP 3 and still have their old plug-ins work. Maybe that will create opportunities for people who want to jump to GIMP 3 and learn ahead of the curve.

I know when we jumped from 2.8 to 2.10 there was a client sort of (more like an ex forum member on here) that had many plug-ins in 2.8 and when he went to 2.10 they didn't work or some functions didn't produce the same results because of new changes so he uninstalled 2.10 and stayed on 2.8 then I lost contact. and I dont' see him on here anymore.

What I am wondering now is using programming if it's possible (by possible I mean easy enough because anything is possible but it could be really hard and not worth while) to write something to convert/translate any plug-in in 2.10 to 3, that would be cool because I am already so comfortable in 2.10 hehe

I'll probably use ChatGPT to help me...

ChatGPT doesn't know anything GIMP3 yet ... as there are not many/no examples to "learn" from.

You can see what the new plugins look like here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/t ... ins/python

Their "example plug-in" is foggify.

trandoductin: 3.0RC1 is a release candidate. We want more user feedback and testing before we confirm that it's stable. If there are a lot of bugs uncovered by the community (who likely weren't testing the 2.99 versions), we'll release a second release candidate for more feedback.

Once people start testing 3.0, we're planning to add more resources and tutorials on developer.gimp.org to help with porting 2.10 plug-ins to 3.0. :)

dont know if this dreamt up or not, first i prompted chatGPT to give me GIMP 3.0 plug-in that changes background color
then it gave me what looked like 2.10 then i told it that's 2.10 then it dreamt up this
import gi
gi.require_version("Gimp", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gimp, GObject, GLib

# Define the function that will perform the color change
def change_background_color(procedure, run_mode, image, drawable, r, g, b):
    # Start undo group
    Gimp.context_push()
    Gimp.image_undo_group_start(image)

    # Convert RGB to GIMP's color format
    color = Gimp.RGB()
    color.set(r / 255.0, g / 255.0, b / 255.0)

    # Fill the layer with the specified color
    fill_options = Gimp.FillOptions()
    fill_options.set_color(color)
    drawable.fill(Gimp.FillType.BACKGROUND, fill_options)

    # End undo group and clean up
    Gimp.image_undo_group_end(image)
    Gimp.context_pop()
    return procedure.new_return_values(Gimp.PDBStatusType.SUCCESS, GLib.Error())

# Register the plug-in
class ChangeBackgroundColor(Gimp.PlugIn):
    __gproperties__ = {
        "r": (int, "Red", "Red color component", 0, 255, 255, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE),
        "g": (int, "Green", "Green color component", 0, 255, 255, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE),
        "b": (int, "Blue", "Blue color component", 0, 255, 255, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE)
    }

    def do_set_property(self, prop, value):
        if prop.name == "r":
            self.r = value
        elif prop.name == "g":
            self.g = value
        elif prop.name == "b":
            self.b = value

    def do_get_property(self, prop):
        if prop.name == "r":
            return self.r
        elif prop.name == "g":
            return self.g
        elif prop.name == "b":
            return self.b

    def do_query_procedures(self):
        return ["python-fu-change-background-color"]

    def do_activate(self):
        pass

    def do_create_procedure(self, name):
        procedure = Gimp.ImageProcedure.new(
            self, name, Gimp.PDBProcType.PLUGIN,
            change_background_color, None
        )

        procedure.set_image_types("*")
        procedure.set_documentation(
            "Change the background color of the active layer",
            "Changes the background color of the active layer to the specified color",
            "Your Name"
        )
        procedure.set_menu_label("Change Background Color")
        procedure.set_attribution("Your Name", "Your License", "2024")
        procedure.add_argument_from_property(self, "r")
        procedure.add_argument_from_property(self, "g")
        procedure.add_argument_from_property(self, "b")
        return procedure

Gimp.main(ChangeBackgroundColor.__gtype__, sys.argv)


Tested this in 2.99 doesn't work looks like ChatGPT is hallucinating, unless it works in 3.0 and 2.99 isn't 3 I dont 'know
Where can i download 3.0?

Thankyou CmykStudent! Can we download it with 2.10.x still on our machine or do we need to delete it?

ok, before I mess everything up. I think I have worked out where to put local stuff.
Is it in Gimp 3, share, gimp, 3.0 ? There are a few folders there, some are empty and some have stuff in them already.
Like fonts, patterns, gradient etc

BTW I am glad we can keep the 2.10 for now until a GMIC is ready for vs 3 of Gimp or is it already?
Hey they still got gimpressionist!

Thought I would download this release candidate Gimp 3.

I downloaded the setup file and the checksum was correct.
Then I ran the setup file - immediately my anti virus (AVG) got upset:

... so I quarantined it and continued.

When I started GIMP this warning was produced:
Image

So I have uninstalled GIMP; during that process AVG had some issues with the GIMP Uninstaller but it let it go through to completion.

I will come back to GIMP 3.0 at a later date.

I have been using the portable Gimp-Win-x64 version on gitlab. gimp-win-x64. It is a portable non installer version. However it will create a 3.0 resources folder under users directory. I haven't had any issues with it so far. Tran i have not tried authoring any plug-ins with it yet. I am waiting for the stable release.
