I knew there were reasons I originally put g'mic in the layer menu, not the filter menu... This is one of them.

Comment 2 LukasT 2015-01-17 20:43:43 UTC

G'MIC was moved to filters because a lot of people requested to move it there. I also liked it in the Layer menu, because some filters behave like similar "filter" Layer -> 'Split layer' (e.g.gmic's Colors -> Decompose Channels). G'MIC is not classical Krita filter. Krita filters are limited, they do not produce extra layers or remove layers or manipulate with layer stack. They are more like per-pixel operators. 

I would like to support Krita filter features like masks and filter layers with limited set of gmic filters in the feature. For that maybe also limited set of gmic filters will support everything what Krita filters does and also maybe this "Apply filter again".

Workaround for this bug is to not close the gmic dialog and hit apply again :)

Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2015-01-18 15:12:14 UTC

Sure, and it makes a lot of sense to have it in the filter menu. But it also means that apply again needs to work -- otherwise we've got something that's inconsistent.

This probably will never be fixed.

Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2017-03-16 09:54:57 UTC

The new gmic-maintained plugin might actually solve this.

Comment 6 Halla Rempt 2017-06-24 18:04:10 UTC

We've just replaced our own gmic dialog with a plugin that communicates with the official gmic-qt plugin (which still needs to be released with our integration code, but it's already been merged), so we can close all current g'mic bugs.
