Testing it now.



I am going to go ahead and mention something before you read all these posts - most of it is working out bugs
to get Gimp-2.7.2 working for windows 32 bit.
More info can be found here - http://www.partha.com

With that said i would like to compact all these pages in this thread to a few words.
To get Gimp-2.7.2 windows 32 bit version to work you must do these things -

1) download the compiled version from Parthas website mentioned above. - it is NOT an install
2)Unzip the package - place the folder gimp-2.7.2 in your program files directory ie ... C:\Program Files\place the folder here
3) either copy all the dll files in gimp-2.7.2/bin folder and paste them in the gimp-2.7.2/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins folder - OR
create a path variable by going to Start/Control Panel/System/advanced tab - environment variables tab - look for the path variable and click it then click on edit. When the dialog opens add the line at the end of the path
C:\Program Files\gimp-2.7.2\bin; make sure to include the semicolon at the end, and if there isn't one at the end before you do edit the path add it also.So it should look something like this - one semicolon separates each variable in the path.
C:\BeginningPathVariableStringHere;C:\Program Files\gimp-2.7.2\bin;

4) If you do not have Python-2.7 installed, download the python-2.7 windows 32 dll file from Parthas website mentioned above.Place it in the gimp-2.7.2/Python folder - Python 2.7 is included with gimp-2.7.2 you just need the dll file to fire it.
5) Now fire up Gimp - gimp-2.7.2/bin/gimp-2.7.exe - or create a shortcut to it on your desktop and fire it from there.

6) go to Filters/Render/Clouds/Fog and Filters Python/Console
If those are there you should be all set.

I want to add there are some bugs due to the new API for Gimp-2.7.2 - such as deprecated plug-ins.
Most everything works though.There is another thread setup for feedback please post your bugs and problems here. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1382#p16415

This is the way to do it for most setups - its going to be different for another language of course.

Thanks

Actually there are 2 version 32 and 64 bit

In the 32 version you may have some additional surprises (as example with gimpressionist, map to object and lighting effect filters)

would be fine the same for the 64 version but was some issue

Well actually i have this error now with the windows 32 version -


It will fire and run but it dioesn't recognize any images except its own format xcf.
ie ... i can not open anything other than xcf files -
Also none of the installed plug-ins show ... Filters menu only shows filters i add
and they won't run because they are python files - python console shows but python doesnt work

So in short until i can figure out the above error - i have no installed plug-ins other than color filters
and GEGL operations do work also.

No scripts work at all.

Any idea what that error means PC?

By the way here is a screen shot

I' am installing now i didn't try yet
You may try to open preferences/folder/plugin and check if both path are correct (the important is that for ...Program Files/gimp/ lib/....plugins.

If was there the problem correct the path will fix also script fu (that depend from a plugin, script-fu exe or a similar name)

Yes - i had to change the pref from gimp-2.7 to gimp-2.7.2 in program files - that should do it i think.
Thanks PC.

I just finish the dl BUT...where is explained how to change path variable ?

EDIT

Here...is explained here just i didn't scroll

Hum..i had no any env variable path to edit, i tried to create a new one but doesn't work, meaning that don't solve the problem

I can't see any variable to edit ,at least no connected to gimp

Nope i tried everything also - i thought perhaps it was because i had version 2.7.1 installed so i removed it and tried again with the path variable set to the bin folder in gimp-2.7.2 so it would see all the dll files.
Didn't work - so i deleted the gimp-2.7 folder in the user directory so Gimp could rebuild it - didn't work.
I wonder if just placing all the dll files in the windows/system folder will work?
I got the system to see the path to the dlls but then it would give me the error for g_dir_open.
So then i would change the pref settings to the plug-ins folder and it still didn't work.

I dunno i am stumped on this one.

Then i decided to throw the whole 2.7.2 install away - tried to reinstall 2.7.1 and got the same errors.
So i deleted the gimp-2.7 folder in user docs again and re-ran the 2.7.1 shortcut - it ran and is perfect again -python and everything.

Well i did get a chance to play with the Cage tool finally
Nice version of Gimp when we can get it working somehow.

I can get it to load but it wont load most of gimps filters or scripts.
It will show the Python console and scripts but won't run them.
I assume that error means Gimp is trying to find those plug-ins but pref is set wrong, even when it's right.
It's weird ....

"I assume that error means Gimp is trying to find those plug-ins but pref is set wrong, even when it's right.
It's weird ...."

i don't just believe i almost sure.
Because i see at loding time that gimp 2.7.2 try to load plugins that are not in 2.7.2 no even in the gimp 2.6 user directory but in a folder in document, exactly the folder in document linked to preferences in gimp 2.6

and there is no any path for that folder in 2.7 preference...weird

Hi Rod and PhotoComiX,

I am sorry for the trouble you are having. I have installed and run both version on separate machines. Obviously, I am not having trouble as Gimp is finding everything on my machine. Would it be possible to send me your error messages so that I can debug?

Thanks!
Partha

No need to apologize Partha i thank you for all your hard work compiling the programs.
I uninstalled it but ill fire it up again for your sake.

This time i copied all the gimp-2.7.2/bin dll files to C:\Windows\System folder.
Figured i wouldn't have to add a path that way.

for example:

env dtime=5 prefix=foo. in=test.flam3 flam3-animate

means to render every 5th frame of parameter file foo.flam3, and store
the results in files named foo.XXXX.jpg.

the flam3-convert program reads from stdin the old format created by
the GIMP and writes to stdout the new xml format.

the flam3-genome program creates random parameter files. it also mutates,
rotates, and interpolates existing parameter files. for example to
create 10 wholly new control points and render them at normal quality:

env template=vidres.flam3 repeat=10 flam3-genome > new.flam3
flam3-render < new.flam3

if you left out the "template=vidres.flam3" part then the size,
quality, etc parameters would be their default (small) values. you
can set the symmetry group:

env template=vidres.flam3 symmetry=3 flam3-genome > new3.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 symmetry=-2 flam3-genome > new-2.flam3
flam3-render < new3.flam3
flam3-render < new-2.flam3

Mutation is done by giving an input flame file to alter:

env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > parent.flam3
env prefix=parent. flam3-render < parent.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 mutate=parent.flam3 repeat=10 flam3-genome > mutation.flam3
flam3-render < mutation.flam3

Normally one wouldn't use the same file for the template and the file
to mutate. Crossover is handled similarly:

env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > parent0.flam3
env prefix=parent0. flam3-render < parent0.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > parent1.flam3
env prefix=parent1. flam3-render < parent1.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 cross0=parent0.flam3 cross1=parent1.flam3 flam3-genome > crossove
r.flam3
flam3-render < crossover.flam3

flam3-genome has 3 ways to produce parameter files for animation in
the style of electric sheep. the highest level and most useful from
the command line is the sequence method. it takes a collection of
control points and makes an animation that has each flame do fractal
rotation for 360 degrees, then make a smooth transition to the next.
for example:

env sequence=test.flam3 nframes=20 flam3-genome > seq.flam3
flam3-animate < seq.flam3

creates and renders a 60 frame animation. there are two flames in
test.flam3, so the animation consists three stags: the first one
rotating, then a transition, then the second one rotating. each stage
has 20 frames as specified on the command line. if you want to
render only some fraction of a whole animation file, specify the begin
and end times:

env begin=20 end=40 flam3-animate < seq.flam3

the other two methods are harder to use becaues they produce file that
are only good for one frame of animation. the output consists of 3
control points, one for the time requested, one before and one after.
that allows proper motion blur. for example:

env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > rotme.flam3
env rotate=rotme.flam3 frame=10 nframes=20 flam3-genome > rot10.flam3
env frame=10 flam3-animate < rot10.flam3

the file rot10.flam3 specifies the animation for just one frame, in
this case 10 out of 20 frames in the complete animation. C1
continuous electric sheep genetic crossfades are created like this:

env inter=test.flam3 frame=10 nframes=20 flam3-genome > inter10.flam3
env frame=10 flam3-animate < inter10.flam3

for example:

env dtime=5 prefix=foo. in=test.flam3 flam3-animate

means to render every 5th frame of parameter file foo.flam3, and store
the results in files named foo.XXXX.jpg.

the flam3-convert program reads from stdin the old format created by
the GIMP and writes to stdout the new xml format.

the flam3-genome program creates random parameter files. it also mutates,
rotates, and interpolates existing parameter files. for example to
create 10 wholly new control points and render them at normal quality:

env template=vidres.flam3 repeat=10 flam3-genome > new.flam3
flam3-render < new.flam3

if you left out the "template=vidres.flam3" part then the size,
quality, etc parameters would be their default (small) values. you
can set the symmetry group:

env template=vidres.flam3 symmetry=3 flam3-genome > new3.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 symmetry=-2 flam3-genome > new-2.flam3
flam3-render < new3.flam3
flam3-render < new-2.flam3

Mutation is done by giving an input flame file to alter:

env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > parent.flam3
env prefix=parent. flam3-render < parent.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 mutate=parent.flam3 repeat=10 flam3-genome > mutation.flam3
flam3-render < mutation.flam3

Normally one wouldn't use the same file for the template and the file
to mutate. Crossover is handled similarly:

env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > parent0.flam3
env prefix=parent0. flam3-render < parent0.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > parent1.flam3
env prefix=parent1. flam3-render < parent1.flam3
env template=vidres.flam3 cross0=parent0.flam3 cross1=parent1.flam3 flam3-genome > crossove
r.flam3
flam3-render < crossover.flam3

flam3-genome has 3 ways to produce parameter files for animation in
the style of electric sheep. the highest level and most useful from
the command line is the sequence method. it takes a collection of
control points and makes an animation that has each flame do fractal
rotation for 360 degrees, then make a smooth transition to the next.
for example:

env sequence=test.flam3 nframes=20 flam3-genome > seq.flam3
flam3-animate < seq.flam3

creates and renders a 60 frame animation. there are two flames in
test.flam3, so the animation consists three stags: the first one
rotating, then a transition, then the second one rotating. each stage
has 20 frames as specified on the command line. if you want to
render only some fraction of a whole animation file, specify the begin
and end times:

env begin=20 end=40 flam3-animate < seq.flam3

the other two methods are harder to use becaues they produce file that
are only good for one frame of animation. the output consists of 3
control points, one for the time requested, one before and one after.
that allows proper motion blur. for example:

env template=vidres.flam3 flam3-genome > rotme.flam3
env rotate=rotme.flam3 frame=10 nframes=20 flam3-genome > rot10.flam3
env frame=10 flam3-animate < rot10.flam3

the file rot10.flam3 specifies the animation for just one frame, in
this case 10 out of 20 frames in the complete animation. C1
continuous electric sheep genetic crossfades are created like this:

env inter=test.flam3 frame=10 nframes=20 flam3-genome > inter10.flam3
env frame=10 flam3-animate < inter10.flam3

Now to get python running in it

is that what 2.7.2 looks like mate? Too me it really doesn't look that much different, is it that much different that it is worth all of that work? Screenshots pleases?

Rod,

I think I know what happened and it's a major goof on my part. How comfortable are you with editing files? If are OK with it, can you check your email and let me know if you can do what I asked? It is a matter of the path to python that is not set correctly in the file pygimp.interp in the directory
C:\Program Files\gimp-2.7.2\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters

Let me know if you cannot or want me to upload the file for you.

Thanks again!
Partha

Well, it was worth it for me.
Anyway, one major (to some) selling point is the single window interface. Also, for me the text tool was broken in 2.7.1 which is fixed in 2.7.2. You should check out the cage tool and let us know if you think it is worth it.

Partha

So wait... I would need a version that will just load and Work as I am not Techy whatsoever...

Yeah I thought one window thing was coming out in 3.0

I was able to load this 2.7.2 on WinXP 32bit without too much trouble. I had to copy all the .dll files from the gimp2.7.2/bin folder to system32 folder. I also had to install Python 2.7.1, I had Python 2.6 installed for my old version of gimp. The only thing that didn't load was mathmap, a missing .dll

The scripts I ran worked although I did get errors referring to deprecated commands.

A WARNING!!!! My gimp 2.6.1 is no longer fully functional, It can't find some of the files, such as the one for loading TIF files.

Hi,

It is unfortunate that you copied the dlls to your system32 folder. This means that your current installation will have trouble. If you leave the dlls in the Gimp-2.7.2\bin directory and add the following to your path:
C:\Program Files\gimp-2.7.2\bin
then Gimp would find all the files it needs. This should leave your current Gimp intact.

Note that there was a major API (application programming interface) change and so some of the old plugins would have to be re-written by the authors.

Thanks,
Partha

Yes, it's best to wait. The new version is supposed to be out soon.

Sorry i took so long to answer Partha - machine was running real sloooow other downloads for guitar stuff

The file is okay - i downloaded windows 32 which is what i needed -
I just needed to place the entire gimp-2.7.2 folder in program files directory and it runs fine now.

So place all the dll files in windows system folder and the gimp-2.7.2 folder in program files directory.
It should run fine now with Python i think.Yup it does

The only error i get now - pretty sure i can fix this though


Snapshots for willy




What it looks like now with Python added


I have not ran a test to see if 2.6.11 still runs okay ill do that next - not too concerned about it now though.
