I guess that forces me into the position of wondering if going forward it's even worth installing Krita? And now we are the other way around.(Krita being the bigger problem). It just seems amusing how just 30 days ago, GMIC was working flawlessly for me under Krita, while using GMIC under Gimp was giving me that malloc error when closing GMIC that would freeze up Gimp. I concur with your sentiment hoping Gimp does not follow the path Krita is on. So, from my perspective, those extra 32 bits are "overhead". I even think I've got a copy of Ubuntu 64 bit floating around here somewhere.īut from a practical standpoint, 99.9% of the things I use a computer for, 32 bit is adequate.


I've got 64 bit machine, 64 bit windows, for years I wouldn't even consider buying software unless it conformed to my need to feel evolved in that capacity. It is amusing (to me) how seldom I work with a file larger than 4 gig. Rich, thanks for your thoughtful feedback. It is not going to be very clever if the whole of krita updates just for a new gmic filter. and that will baffle a few linux newbies.Īdd that to Krita 5 now building gmic in: usr/lib/kritaplugins/krita_gmic_qt.so It is going to be up to the Krita developers to use their update function somehow. So for Gimp now two files the plugin gmic_gimp_qt + a library file libgmic.so.4. The 'testing' section (aka community) now incorporated into the code, no longer the separate updatexxx.gmic file, although a gmic 'update' does download one.Ī change in the default way gmic is compiled from a static (single file) to dynamic.

big changes since gmic 3.0.0 As far as I can see, no Krita package from after that. The current stable is 3.0.2 (3.0.1 pulled as having 'critical error'). Guessing the krita files come from 'buntu 18.04, the last I can find for 32 bit and that it is what you get in Knoppix.įor a Krita 5.0.2 appimage (64 bit) that is using gmic version 3.0.0. You might be well out of luck with Knoppix, 32 bit packages and the trend is to 64 bit only.
