Hi Lukas, heres my top 3.

* implement progress bar for filters and preview
* gmic is located under Layer -> Apply Gmic action, it supposed to be in Filters
* resizing the preview has to work (Small, Tiny, Large, ...)

My votes would go to:

* scrollbars for filter settings that are huge! currently text is horizontally downscaled and unreadable
* support all preview output modes
* support for zooming/panning preview

Ok, the results are like this:

menu position: 4
progress bar: 3
zooming/panning preview: 3
interactive coloring: 2 (+1 from me)
small preview modes: 2 (Small, Large,...)
preview output modes: 1
scrollbars for filter settings: 1
separate gmic code to lib (link dynamically): 1

So I decided to focus on this tasks in this order:
* progress bar
* interactive coloring (my extra vote makes it 3 votes)
* zooming/panning small preview
* menu position (I don't like UI code, this one is easy but I just don't like to tweak UI stuff)

Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Lukas,

Great plan indeed

Today, David Tschumperlé has released the new G'MIC stable version: 1.6.0.3 [1]

I just commited the support for interactive filters to 2.9 branch!

Today, David Tschumperlé has released the new G'MIC stable version: 1.6.0.3 [1]

I integrated this version into Krita, but it wasn't easy this time!

Huge kudoes!

The progress bar just keeps repeating itself until the filter preview is done, so its not really letting the user know anything.. the same thing happens with progress bars on layers too.

like it goes 10%-50%-100%-10%-20%-100% without actually completing anything. So you think its about to be done but nope, doesn't it sort of make it redundant? its more like a "false hope" bar

I joke I joke the time stamp is useful though.

Well, it shows that the filter doesn't hang. These kind of progress bars are pretty common if you just cannot predict how long an action will take. And some g'mic filters are pretty non-deterministic

Oh i understand computers aren't that clever, but I haven't seen a progress bar that gets to a 100% before it actually completes something though.

oh I should mention i'm using canvas preview which takes a bit long, since zooming isn't supported yet with gmic.

Zooming on small preview will be supported and implemented soon, hopefully somewhere this year

Progress reporting is something that has to be supported by particular gmic filters. Some of them support proper
progress reporting and some of them miss this feature, not because they are non-deterministic, they all are, but
the author of the filter did not include progress reporting code: sometimes it is extra work to support the progress for the author.

Most of the filters do not report progress by default, in that case the progress bar just pulses so that you know Krita/G'Mic it is not dead!

If you feel, that it would be useful for particular filter to have proper progress reporting, just ask for it upstream (in g'mic bugzilla):
https://sourceforge.net/p/gmic/bugs/?source=navbar

Thats great to hear lukas, i look forward to the zooming, and thanks for explaining those things to me.

hello lukas thanks for your hard work on gmic, i have a problem whit the colorize interactive don't work on krita windows the color selector don't appear wen in colorization mode

Known issue: I still need to add some extra dependencies to the windows builds.

@boudewijn
thanks for your reply this is a really useful feature

any news here? because I noticed colorize interactive was working today. Its very cool, first time I used it. I haven't tried any other filters, but krita doesn't immediately crash when I select them at least

is it an accident, or have things been fixed?
