Latest version of the Windows GIMP plugin does not work with GIMP 2.10.24

Downloaded: https://www.fosshub.com/GMIC.html?dwl=gmic_2.9.6_gimp2.10_win64.exe

Install in GIMP 2.10.24 and it is not working. See GIMP issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/6670.

Looks like it is caused by an incompatible version of libgobject-2.0.0.dll. gmic apparently needs a version that includes function g_memdup2. It should include it's own version of this library instead of relying on the version included with GIMP.

Confirmed. I'm working on it.

Could you test with this installer: https://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_gimp2.10_win64.exe (or this zip file : https://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_gimp2.10_win64.zip). and tell us if this works ? Thanks!

It didn't work for me. I got the same error: "The procedure entry point g_memdup2 could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0-0.dll."

[dtschump]

Strange. It now works for me, with latest pre-release 2.9.7_pre210401, on GIMP 2.10.24 (I got the same problem with the previous version of the plug-in, 2.9.6 when I upgraded to GIMP 2.10.24).

Also, I got a report from @paul-andre942 who confirms this also worked for him.

I've tried with the zip file (link above). Are they the same thing (exe and zip)?

[danilojr]

Strange... It's working with the installer.

[dtschump]

Yes, the installer and the .zip file contain the same files.

thankyou, this seams to have solved my issue.

.exe has worked for me, thank you

Tried it today, still doesn't work for me. How will we know when it will work for good? Will we receive an email or do we have to check on a daily basis? Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Do you have the same error message as before? The new installer (listed as latest dev on the download page) seems to be working for a lot of people.

[pisapiag]

Redownloaded it and reinstalled it. It works! Go figure. Thanks dtschump.

[jamiesizzle]

Yup, not working for me either. Getting the same error and tried all the offered options with the same result. Will this make Gimp unstable, because every time I start Gimp I get the error. Do you have an uninstall program to get rid of the plugin for now?

[Wormnest]

Could it be that when installing a newer version of G'MIC it does not uninstall itself correctly? Meaning that the dll that was causing problems and is not part of 2.9.7 anymore did not get removed.

We had another report (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/6771) where first uninstalling 2.9.6 before installing 2.9.7 fixed the problem.

[dtschump]

The issue "The procedure entry point g_memdup2 could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0-0.dll." has been fixed with latest version 2.9.7. If you still get this message, that means an older version of the plug-in is still installed on your system, and has a higher priority. G'MIC 2.9.7 doesn't use 'g_memdup2' anymore.

Pleas uninstall all previous versions of the G'MIC plug-in before reinstalling 2.9.7. I've seen people having more than 3 installs of G'MIC with different versions!
