G'MIC on Mac Chugs Forever

[Chuanist]

I am running GIMP 9.5 color corrected on Mac OS 10.11.6.

The G'MIC-Qt filters are of great interest to me. But when I open G'MIC and select an effect, then choose either Apply or OK, the plug-in processes endlessly. Yesterday the fractal effect 'worked' for over 30 minutes on a 24 mb photo file. I then cancelled the command because it obviously was not going to resolve itself.

Is there something I need to know to get the filters to work?

Many thanks for your consideration.

Not many Mac users here.

I would ask the question either on the gmic site as an issue: https://github.com/dtschump/gmic/issues

or alternatively post on: https://discuss.pixls.us where David Tschumperlé has a presence.

Thanks for this advice. I very much appreciate it.
