gimp3: init at 3.0.2 by jtojnar · Pull Request #67576 · NixOS/nixpkgs

jtojnar · 2019-08-27T17:00:02Z

Trying to see if we need any changes on Darwin.

closes #333800

jtojnar · 2019-11-05T00:11:03Z

The gjs failure will require #72805

worldofpeace · 2019-11-05T18:43:20Z

Think this won't work if it ends up in a shebang for darwin (because wrappers).

Bah. Hoping for C wrappers before GIMP 3 is released.

Good news! makeBinaryWrapper is a thing now: #124556

To avoid blocking on Darwin support and performance regressions, I have re-introduced (now unmaintained) GIMP 2.

Readf0x · 2025-04-05T00:38:10Z

Have others been testing this? I've found that it always hangs while loading.

I am aware that it is not meant for end users yet, I would just like to ask if this issue is known. I have tested the flatpak and this does not occur. It also works perfect on other distributions' packages, such as Nobara.

Sigmanificient · 2025-04-05T15:34:27Z

@Readf0x Which system are you running gimp3 on? It seems to work pretty smoothly on my NixOS environment (x64_84-linux) 😅
It takes less than 2 seconds to load on my computer 🤔

Here is a screenshot of gimp with one of QOI sample images:

Lastly, I get this strange log when closing the application:

Make sure the file is writeable. I had the same issue, but doing chmod u+w on it fixed it (it also is created with the correct permissions after being deleted; maybe it was a bug in an earlier release?).

EDIT: it appears that it generates that file with permissions 444 when generating the default config. Probably an upstream bug.

@Readf0x Which system are you running gimp3 on? It seems to work pretty smoothly on my NixOS environment (x64_84-linux) 😅
It takes less than 2 seconds to load on my computer 🤔

Very interesting, I'm also running NixOS x64_86-linux. I'll have to do some testing then, who knows what could be causing the issue. I suspect it's a configuration error on my end. Is your system configuration publicly available?

Sigmanificient · 2025-04-05T22:18:37Z

Yes, you can build a VM of my configuration using

nix run github:Sigmanificient/dotfiles#nixosConfigurations.Sigmachine.config.system.build.vm

You'll be able to log in with sigmanificient & password hello. Then, use startx to enter the graphical session (or alternatively, qtile start --backend wayland)

Readf0x · 2025-04-06T00:11:08Z

@Sigmanificient In the generated image it still has gimp 2.10 instead of 3.

Sigmanificient · 2025-04-06T10:30:26Z

It's my system image, so it does not have gimp 3 currently (i guess i should include it to make it easier for tou to test 😅)

I made a branch that will provide gimp3 out of the box:

nix run github:Sigmanificient/dotfiles/gimp3#nixosConfigurations.Sigmachine.config.system.build.vm

jtojnar · 2025-04-07T21:47:10Z

Looking at the source, the migration copies the ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc file:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/blob/14b1c1127379d775d361a1053db989d40b70044b/app/core/gimp-user-install.c#L1316

And the copying preserves the permissions of the original file:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/blob/14b1c1127379d775d361a1053db989d40b70044b/app/config/gimpconfig-file.c#L232

So if the original file is read-only, the new one will be too:

$ ls -la ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc
-r--r--r-- 1 jtojnar users 117 Apr 29  2020 /home/jtojnar/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc

And looks like the original file was just copied from store:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/blob/GIMP_2_10_38/app/core/gimp-user-install.c#L836

GNOME/babl@BABL_0_1_110...BABL_0_1_112

The `gimpPlugins` should now support both versions.

Keep around for a while for legacy plug-in support. Re-introducing it in a separate commit so that `gimp` expression retains continuous git history.

Superseded by GIMP 3 in the `gimp` package.

Temporarily, rename `gimp` to `gimp3` and `gimp2` back to `gimp`. Revert once GIMP 3 works on Darwin again and performance regressions are debugged.

jtojnar · 2025-04-15T08:08:11Z

Rebased to resolve the merge conflict. Given that only some people are experiencing the issues and that we are keeping gimp pointing to GIMP 2 for now, I will merge this tomorrow.

The slowness and Darwin support can be resolved on master.

Can you please not continue to comment here please. As many people are following this issue and this could be done somewhere else like in the matrix or disclosure.
