How can this be an unknown file type?
#11
Just a couple of comments. I am not a Windows user these days, just keep a Win10 VM to see what-is-wht.

Quote:I've NOT been aware of the idea that there is a version of the GMIC Plugin for GIMP (GPFG) in a standard installation of GIMP

To clarify that statement. The standard Gimp from gimp.org does not come with gimp_gmic_qt It is up to the user to install.  One alternate version the samj portable Gimp does come with its own gimp_gmic_qt installed.

The samj Gimp is not so easy to customize. It has compiled "launchers" that presumably check on installation location and set variables accordingly.

You might get a bit of mileage from a regular  gimp installation and the switch --gimprc=filename

(Use an alternative gimprc instead of the default one. The gimprc file contains a record of your preferences. Useful in cases where plugins paths or machine specs may be different.)


If you look at gimprc near the beginning is the plug-in path. Here is an old gimp_gmic_qt in its own folder

(plug-in-path "${gimp_dir}\\plug-ins;${gimp_plug_in_dir}\\plug-ins;C:\\Users\\rich\\gmic-gimp-179")

Maybe use a set of gimprc files pointing to various versions of gimp_gmic_qt.   Careful with those old versions, they do not work with recent versions of Gimp. 

( A lot easier in linux where the plugin is a single file and you can move versions using a file manger. )
