I got the same problem, then checked in the plug-in folder of GIMP to see if a folder named '_gmic' was here. And it was not. So, maybe you can check it too. This folder is necessary to make the updates working.

Ah! the curl.exe is not in the _gmic folder. (Thanks PC for this help )

You can test the archive 64-bit Windows available from http://samjcreations.blogspot.ca/2012/0 ... -bits.html

In this archive you can copy gmic_gimp.exe and paste it into ...\gimp_2_8_0-64bits\pref_1\plug-ins

You can start Gimp by clicking on Demarrer_Gimp.bat

G'MIC filters are in ...\gimp_2_8_0-64bits\gmic-filtres

By default, "Filters update" place the filters (*.gmic , etc.) in this directory.

that helped
only get the one error now

Then, you should go to 'About / Additional Filters', then click on 'Apply', then try to refresh your filters once again.

Thanks..all updated
don't know why i didn't try that first
Andy

YA well I did that too and I still don't get the additional sets appearing. I did find that the files were thrown into my appdata dir. That normal?

Thanks David/samj. Just downloaded the 1.5.1.3 from your site samj; update and all went well; verified that the previous kuwahara issue is also been fixed.

zward
that is normal for standard version not for samj version

also the standard version may save the file internally but for that require do something to some environmental variable
i can't give more detail because i find that cumbersome and unfriendly so i just got samj build that does automatically

But it was a recent discussion on the flickr gmic group (title as " make gmic portable" or something similar) where you may found
all the detail

PS "unfriendly" mainly because is not a option visible from the Gmic gui,
if was a option as "store additional filter in _gmic folder "available in the "Additional filter" or more simply "store filters definition files internally for portability" inside the gmic "about " menu my opinion would be different

Neither one allowed for gmic to show the additional filters anyway.

Yup thanks for the update to GMIC David!
All filters working correctly now in GMIC>Artistic including Pheonix-Steam-Pencil.
All updates performing normally in GMIC for me.

Bonjour,

EDIT G'MIC 1.5.1.4 (2012-05-24)
G'MIC 1.5.1.4 beta (2012-05-24)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmic/files/

64-bit Windows
http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/gmic-beta_ ... ts_win.zip

Samj,
I just saw that version 1.5.1.4 is available for Window 7 64bit, and so I uninstalled my older version of G'mic, downloaded the newest, but being a computer idiot I don't know what to do now. There doesn't seem to be an installer. Do I simply cut and paste the files, and if so where do I put them?
Thanks

They go into your user plug-in folder. You didn't need to un-stall your GMIC
This may help.
