SUMMARY digikam crashes unexpectedly after launching G'MIC and trying some of the filters in preview mode - without applying them. Sorry, I can‘t find any crash log in the Console.app. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open digikam 2. open an jpg image in the editor 3. choose G'MIC QT and preview some of its filters OBSERVED RESULT digikam crashes unexpectedly EXPECTED RESULT digikam shows the preview of the filter w.o. crashing SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS 11.74 Big Sur on MBP 2012 (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I regarded this behaviour with the current version of digikam, 7.9.0 and thus tried 7.10.0 – with the equal result. On the same machine runs GIMP 2.10.34 with G'MIC 2.7.5 flawlessly.
The gmic qt from digiKam is a recent version : 3.2 Your gmicqt from gimp is very old. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 422996 ***
what's about krita which include also gmicqt ?
Created attachment 157205 [details] Krita crash log Kreta behaves the same way as digicam does: it crashes if I intend to use G'MIC.
Created attachment 157206 [details] digicam crash log I tried it on my other machine, also running 11.7.4 (20G1120) Big Sur and it generated a crash log for digicam as well.
Yes Krita has exactly the same problem than digiKam with GMicQt. It use a similar version of GmicQt than digiKam. I suspect a GmicQt problem under MacOS, not a problem with the client application. I know that GMicQt can be also used as a stand alone application. Perhaps GMicQt team provide a MacOS version, ready to use, and of course ready to test to see if the problem is well located in GMicQt module. Best Gilles Caulier
DOWNSTREAM bug from GMic Qt : https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt/issues/160 Gilles Caulier
Many thanks for the link, Gilles! You are right, it looks like a specific G'Mic bug indeed, so the issue can be closed from my view. I am glad that my old version in Gimp continues to work well, although X11 is not on my computer. https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt/issues/160#issuecomment-1465200447 Am also glad to have dipped a little into Debian, there are no problems. A standalone for macOS would be great, but I have little hope... Best Martin

Thanks for the effort, which felt first brought a slight improvement, at least in the preview of the effects. Just updated digikam to version 8.0.0, but the crashes occur not only in the menu 'Colors' unchanged., also in Arrays and tiles etc.. Sometimes only when you apply the filter. Therefore I loaded the external data from G'MIC (about/download external data), unfortunately without effect.
update cimg/gmic/gmic-qt to last v3.2.2 : https://github.com/cgilles/gmic-qt/commit/b00dccd0d003bd46c800a4141e9988495ad3fe47
Hi, Color tools from Gmic-Qt do not crash on my macbbok pro intel using Ventura. Try the last 8.0.0 pre-release bundle published today. I updated *gmic* to last 3.2.2... Gilles

The PKG 8.0.0 pre-release installer must have the last crash fixed, i think. Please try and report me... Best Gilles
Many thanks again, Gilles! I just installed G'MIC 3.2.2 / digikam 8.0.0 and tried several filters without any crash. So I logged in here to report you success – but after switching back to digikam it still has been crashed silently. Will try this on my other machine which generates reports. Best Martin
Created attachment 157442 [details] digikam 8.0.0 / gmic 3.2.2 crash log
I don't have this kind of crash using the PKG build today morning, where i fixed a mess inside the plugin. Just double check please... Gilles
Your crash log from 20-03-2020 is ... empty...

Created attachment 157451 [details] Crash log 3rd attempt Sorry for the empty log!
ok, i seen. The crash appears in the theme settings from the plugin. I seen this tab from Krita version of Gmic-Qt that all the panel have been disabled, probably because the code in Gmic-qt do something wrong about to applu the color theme (here Dark one). I will need probably to do the same in the digiKam version. Gilles Caulier
Must be fixed with this commit : https://github.com/cgilles/gmic-qt/commit/f3cb5a4cf8d7cfd8649fed109c056b19718ea7ea I recompile Macos 8.0.0 pre-release bundle now... Gilles Caulier
New PKG is available. Theme settings is now disabled in Gmicqt config dialog https://i.imgur.com/hpdElbE.png Gilles
This file is now fixed with next 8.0.0 release.
Hi No_Planet_2 I write a G'MIC-Qt chapter in the digiKam online documentation. If you can take a look and give me a feedback, it will be very appreciate: https://docs.digikam.org/en/image_editor/enhancement_tools.html#g-mic-qt-tool Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
Hats off, Gilles. Describing G'MIC is a real painstaking job. I can only say: Thumbs up! One thing perhaps: The menu item About/Download external data could possibly be of importance for travelers, as well as the possibility to load new filter definitions via internet. I couldn't find out anything about that, because G'MIC is much less documented than digikam ;-). But the jpfleury.github.io link is very helpful. Thanks! Greetings, Martin

I find this very well solved, the second version is more precise. But it's probably beyond the scope of digikam's 'manpages' to go into the peculiarities of G'MIC that only insiders might know about. Pity. _____ OT: I'm probably interpreting this in layman's terms, but I see *two* options in G'MIC to load external data updated via the web: 1. via the reload button to the left of the text 'Internet' under the filter column, i.e. the middle column. I guess this is just the basic filter settings as plain text. 2. via the about/download external data menu, where you are warned that large amounts of data (about 85MB:) might be involved. In both cases probably no executable code is updated, otherwise this would not work under a prehistoric G'MIC 2.7.3 with current GIMP 2.10.34. And that also only with a patched mbp 2012 (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) running 11.7.5. but *not* with a Mini 2014 with the same macOS *without* the patch (SIP enabled, SSV disabled) Apple, I hear you trapsen...

About the "update" capabilities from Gmic-Qt, i already seen these different entries in the GUI. I not yet sure for each features, i will investigate the source code in-deep, and update the online doc accordingly. Note : i implement a Batch Queue Manager digiKam plugin with G'MIC-Qt. It's not simple as the code is not so far adapted for that, but i progress: https://i.imgur.com/mk9Op1C.png Gilles
