gmic - update to new version

[dhugg]

hello,

iam using gimp 2.8 on xp sp3.

old gmic works fine.

i have installed the new gmic using the installer.  i have gone into the folders in preferences and changed/included the new folder in the "to look in" list.  i have tried totally removing the old copy of gmic but regardless nothing comes up as far as the new version.  so i have put the old one in an "old" folder so i can still use it.

i am not sure if they are supposed to but neither (old/new) gmic plugin is showing up in the plugin browser?

i have attached screenshots of preferences and explorer.

thanks for any help.        dhugg
