Gimp 3.0.0. rc1 AppImage

[Tas_mania]

It's now released and I made a test appimage. This is still work in progress for the developers.
Debian-derived systems could try Gimp 3.rc1 from my github.

Wow, your file is only 67 Mb, the one from Artbox is 233 Mb

   

Impressive, and yours load faster.
Thank you Tas_mania

[Tas_mania]

Thanks Patrice. I'm not seeing any scripts loading or listed in the menus with this version.

These are the errors I'm getting:

Error: eval: unbound variable: (/usr/share/gimp/3.0/scripts/lava.scm : 143)  script-fu-register-filter
scriptfu-Message: 16:50:38.461: Error while loading /usr/share/gimp/3.0/scripts/line-nova.scm:

For the second error it can't find girepository.

A problem I have with my RC1 build. Can you reproduce it? The devs can't.

Quote: A problem I have with my RC1 build. Can you reproduce it? The devs can't.

An image seems to close normally on this appimage. I have no python console with errors around
'Namespace Gimp not available'

At least you have a python console

Nope - using your TestDialog.xcf file. Layers clear on File -> Close View Using kubuntu 24.04

I am of course using the gimp.org appimage. Nothing much in the way of console messages.

Yes but the Artbox appimage is more complete. I just mentioned it because of the additional theme. Mark Sweeney had a page on python plugins which for some reason was pulled, however that appimage does contain his interesting "almost autosave" python plugin which (for artists anyway) should probably make its way into regular Gimp 3.

[Ofnuts]

For those who did the test in Single-window mode, how about trying muli-window?

[MrsP-from-C]

Can't reproduce it, either.
Both single window mode and multi window mode are ok.
Both clear the images as expected.
Tried with official RC1 flatpak from gimp.org

[Tas_mania]

I agree with rich the 'official' Artbox appimage is the one to use.

I noticed a few things.
The Gimp binary in the Gimp 3.00RC1 deb file is just 7.4Mb while the Gimp binary in the Artbox appimage is 35Mb.
The Gimp deb file is just a bare-bones Gimp but it contains python and script-fu and they are not listed as dependencies.
So a lot of differently compiled Gimp3's.

I guess the documentation hasn't been done which is normal for FOSS
It's hard not t call this version 'bloat ware'.

Why does it need a built-in LVM (logical volume management) and a gvfs virtual file system? The appimage is doing peer to peer encrypted internal networking. No wonder it took so long to make

If you want to see how Artbox works check the AppRun file and see all the exported paths.
What would be good is a fully functional Gimp3 including python3 and script-fu in one package
