If you have a 64-bit OS, but believe the installer will automatically install the 64-bit version Molly.

I have not been able to build successfully. well, I can build fine, but it will crash. So, no release from me until I know what the issue is.

ok, thanx Partha

Partha will most likely compile a version for 64 bit Molly.
I was able to get GAP installed as well as all my adobe plugins, and GMIC.
Userfilter does indeed have an issue finding the guf folder.Didn't editing the gimprc fix this?
It seems fine to me but then again i only use it for mostly design.

Gimp-2.8 - I installed it (didn't load it yet)
I re installed gimp-2.6.12
Changed the splash image to my own (both 2.6, and 2.8)
Started gimp-2.6.12 - ran fine
Started Gimp-2.8 - ran fine
Added GAP-2.7 to Gimp-2.8 plugins folder through the program directory - runs fine
I have Gimp-2.6.12 installed in Gimp-2.0
I have Gimp-2.8 installed in Gimp-2

Lyle Filters Unlimited has the same filters and a better interface imho than UserFilter. I have both installed btw.
And it runs excellent.

Next i will change over to the larger preview plugins.

Nice job developers. I can not wait for Gimp-2.10 :ninja

Partha i was able to build the 32 bit version.

Rod,

I can build fine too.

Question is, does it run reliably for you? I ran it through the debugger (gdb) and there are heap block modifications past the requested size (crrrraashhh

).

Not really good news Erisian; only thing that got fixed apparently is the tif bug. Jpeg file save preview size option still shows 1.3G (i.e., error), and you can't have both PSPI and User Filter paths simultaneously. Oh well. Posted at GIMPUsers on that thread alc59; just call me the dissapointed. Doesn't look like the gimprc conflict issue will ever get patched so sad for me.

Lyle, Can you check the version of libtiff-x.dll included with your build? Is it 3 or 5?

Thanks,
Partha

I am seeing both libtiff 3 and 5

Still have to turn color management off to avoid brush lag on certain images

Reinstalled 2.6 and I once again have pressure sensitivity!!
It's so strange that the Gimp team would release 2.8 when there are things broken with it. Weird way of doing things.

It's a GTK+ problem not a Gimp problem. Not much they can do, can they?

Rod, You can't be using both within Gimp. Which are you using for your build?

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16136

I am using libtiff-3

Here is a screenshot of my installed gimp-2.8 (developers)

As you can see, both are there.

I suppose not. But for folks like me, not versed in programming & stuff like that, (the majority of Gimpers) there should be a warning of the things that will no longer work.

Things like this won't scare me away personally, but for others, it might.

That said, I love the program, and eagerly await the next version which hopefully is released with a working GTK, or whatever magic it is that enables pressure support

Thanks Rod, but I think that Gimp build that you are using is actually running on libtiff-3.dll. Tiff 4.0.x does not work with Gimp and I've not solved that issue. So, I reverted to Tiff 3.9.4. I guess the official version is doing the same.

Looks like it as i used 3 for my build.
It runs really good (no crashes)
Just a problem with that libintl-8.dll file still.

Someday i will rename all but the one in the gimp/bin folder and create a path to it.
OR
Is it possible to just update the profile file with an export LD_LIBRARIES_PATH: and point to the opt/bin folder for it?

Depending on the version of gcc you are using, the issue is using the version with gtk and the one with mingw. So, while building Gimp, use the modifier --disable-gtktest. Then while packaging Gimp, use the libintl-8.dll from the gtk/bin directory.

Let me know if that does not work.

Lyle,
I got LabCurves working with 2.8 32bit. I tested, xcf, jpg, png, tif. Are you still having problems?

There is a clear warning in the release note , where is suggested to graphic tablet users to stick with gimp 2.6

i must delude you, the fix is planned not before gimp-2.10 (but more luckily gimp 3.0)
That at the current development speed would be 2 or 3 years from now (double for gimp 3.0)

and yes i too think that is very , very bad

As far i understand some tablet will still sort of work but is not guaranteed

PC you must have faith. :lol

The releases should come much quicker now. especially with most of Gimp ported to GEGL already.
Next will probably be port the rest to GEGL and use GTK-3
That's when everything (old plug-ins), will break.
