It has come to my attention that people are mass downloading old versions of GEGL Effects from May-June 2022 on Gimpchat. These versions do not have AI or half the features the newer versions have. Infact that was back when Inner Glow had a nasty bug that created a border sometimes or even before Inner Glow existed.

This bash plugin was not working for a lot of people because the REMBG command changed recently or at least in the past year. months. Here is a list of both rembg commands.

Latest REMBG is

Code:

rembg i /tmp/in.png /tmp/out.png

2022 REMBG is

Code:

rembg /tmp/in.png -o /tmp/out.png

The bash plugin both stand alone and GEGL Effects version updated today. To contain the newest line of code for REMBG in default. This does not count as a new version release.

We now have a Flatpak build of GEGL Effects with bash AI but it requires manually editing two files.

The build all .sh files for Windows and Linux updated. It apparently was broken for at least several months. Now it is very easy to compile GEGL Effects on Windows and Linux. But remember compiling is optional as prebuilt binaries exist.

The AI version of this plugin is getting a very tiny update in order to prevent a memory leak on the Cinnamon Desktop.

The line

Code:

#define geglwithanything \
" GEGL Box after Bash   "


was given # in front of it.

Code:

#define geglwithanything \
" #GEGL Box after Bash   "


Non-AI versions of this plugin have not updated. This change is completely non-noticeable.

The AI through bash version of GEGL Effects and advance text styling version of GEGL Effects for now are discontinued, as they only are useful on Gimp 2.10. If you want AI in Gimp just use this plugin stand alone here.
