Gimp 3.0 AppImage and G'Mic

[CtrlAltDel]

Hello everyone.

I hope I haven't overlooked a thread on this and am making a redundant post.

On discuss.pixls.us, there is a thread with David Tschumperle commenting that he had G'MIC ready for Windows users on Gimp 3.0 but had not got around to modifying it for Linux users of Gimp 3.0.

Discussion on Gimp 3.0 and G'MIC

This is my go to place for hard to find information about Gimp and its plugins and would like to ask if anyone here has information on how to use G'MIC with Gimp 3.0 RC2 AppImage(Ivan-HC) using Linux Mint 22.1.

And on a side note, to not have to create another thread, will plugins and scripts that work on Gimp 3.0 RC2 work on the regular Gimp 3.0 when it is eventually released or will they have to be reworked in some fashion?

Probably. I see things added/fixed but no big incompatible changes AFAIK.

That's nice to know, Ofnuts. I'm trying to get all the current, useful to me, plugins that are available for 3.0RC2, it'll be good not to have to start all over again.

Thanks.

Not quite correct, no gmic site Gimp 3 packages provided. The existing code does compile but at the moment there is only linux Gimp 3 installations (that I know of) for ubuntu 24.04 (from PPA) , Debian 12 sid (also Arch - which does not figure anyway) So the majority of Gimp 3 users will be Windows and they have one.

To work with an appimage you need to compile gmic_gimp_qt using the appropriate libgimp2.0-dev (+dev dependencies) files.
So you can compile for ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12 but these do not work with the Ivan-HC appimage largely Arch based. Same applies to the "official" gimp.org appimage, looks like based on debian but which version?

The only appimage / gmic I have working at the moment is the Gimp3 RC1 from TasMania which is based on ubuntu 24.04
