I just can't agree on that. The results I obtained with G'MIC were slightly softer and less sharp than those obtained via Small Tiles.

Nothing is best than a screenshot comparison, click on the image to see them in full

Original image before Small tiles, edges are... "normal"



After applying the GIMP's small Tiles, Edges are... strongly aliased, no respect of the transition if I can say that



G'MIC filter Array [Regular], edges are... "normal" to me, not aliased.

I also compared the Maximum RGB obtained via the ("/") key and that obtained via G'MIC Query Primary.
The G'MIC version has the Medians option, in addition to the Maxima and Minima options, which in itself seems like a great advantage.

Max RGB depend conditions, my most use is to quickly draw a mask when max colors come in ready to "detour", it can also happen (rarely) to change a hue / saturation with opacity, a guy on GC use it to count green pixels on his land...

Example drawing a mask on the corals:



coloring the sky and sea

Okay, you are absolutely right!
The irregular edges are definitely much more pronounced when I use Small Tiles.

Oh... this Maximum RGB looks really interesting. I'll research more about him.

Thx for all the clarifications! ?

If I move them from this folder to the Preferences / Plugins folder (the one where I have my plugins) it will be enough for them to end up in the Filters - Distorts (Blinds) and Filter - Maps (Small Tiles) menus or I necessarily need to download the attached files?

The files that come with Gimp 2.10 do not have any registration in their code. The devs removed it but kept the plug-ins presumably for some backward compatibility.

The replacement files do contain the registration data, so will show in the menu structure. Put them in your Gimp user profile (for samj portable,  that is the Preferences / Plug-ins) and they will supercede the originals when Gimp scans for plugins.

rich2005, things didn't work here... 
As instructed, I placed your .zip files from post #3 in my plugins folder.

I restarted Gimp, but nothing in Distorts or Map.

I restarted a second time, and again nothing in the menus.

Could it be some kind of conflict with the files that are in ...Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins ?

Thx!
