Hi there,
I'm *very* happy to announce the release of the final 1.5.1.0 version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP. After several beta versions, it seems the code is now stable enough to be released for regular uses.
You can see the Changelog from the latest version (1.5.0.9) here :

And to get an idea on the work done for the 6 last months (since the release of latest milestone 1.5.0.0), you can go there :

In 6 months, there have been more than 40 new commands added (not as many new filters, but commands can be used to simplify the writing of new filters ! ). The documentation has been improved a lot, and G'MIC filters developers can now refer to a new handbook listing all G'MIC possibilities (more than 300 pages). There have been some nice improvements and optimizations of the G'MIC language as well.

If you were using G'MIC before, I strongly suggest you update your plug-in binary to this latest 1.5.1.0 version, since filters update will be done only for this latest version.
If you were not using G'MIC before, just go discover it, this is a wonderful plug-in for GIMP

In all cases, I hope you'll enjoy it !

Cheers.

Just downloaded it and will install it soon David. Again thanks for the gem that you gave to GIMP.

Thank you David...cool

Thank you very much!
From where I can download ZArt sources?

The ZArt sources are available in the gmic_1.5.1.0.tar.gz file, from the sourceforge file server :

Thanks for the update. What does ZArt do and where do I install it? Thanks

Deblk what OS are you using? Windows, Linux, Mac?
When you click the link above, click the one you have. If it is Windows 7, click that link to download the newest version of GMIC. If it is Linux, click that one.
Below are two screen shots. One is the Linux plug-in for GMIC, the other is the windows Plug-in for GMIC.

Thanks Ronounours!



ZArt is for applying G'MIC effects to your webcam images:

If you have a Debian based GNU/Linux distro ZArt is part of .deb package. Just install and run: zart
Otherwise compile from sources (gmic_1.5.1.0.tar.gz). Needed dependencies are in "readme" file (zart folder). Commands for compile:

Many thanks!
And only two questions:
1. When is ZArt for Windows?
2. As ZArt (Linux) to increase the size of the image recording ?

Oh....I have windows, nvm...Thanks

Yes, sorry but ZArt is not available for Windows yet. There are some difficulties to make all libraries compiling and linking together. Maybe in another life...

vista 32 bit. same here.

'The system cannot find the path specified.'

Thanks David.Words can not describe the wonderful contributions you have made for the Gimp program, and community.

I am also getting an update failure with windows xp.


Kudos on your recent release.

Looks like the PhotoComiX URL is not recognized by the update system
Will check that.

OK, should have been fixed. You need to :

1. Update your filters (same error will appear).
2. Go to 'About/Additional filters'.
3. Click on 'Apply'
4. Update your filters again.

And it should be OK.

worked like a charm, thanks for all your efforts!

Offtopic (request)

@Ronounours, Can you add in G'MIC dialog a filter search field to find filters by keywords?

Thanks again!

That is a great idea.The GMIC menu is getting quite large and a quick search function would be awesome to have included. I think a good spot to put it in the menus would be in the About area.

I have found an old discussion about it here:
https://secure.flickr.com/groups/gmic/d ... 5045245904

I think a quick search field is necessary even hundreds of plugins is properly organized.
As I always say, it is easy request but a lot of work for developers to achieve ...
