Awesome news!!!  I'm totally looking forward to GIMP 2.10!   :)

By the way, I watched the "Why the GIMP Team Obviously Hates You" video

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.10.0-RC2 released

2018-04-17 Thread Michael Natterer
Hi,

We just released the second release candidate on the way
to the final GIMP 2.10.0 release.

This is (still!) an unstable development release and might
crash or do whatever. If you try it for work, please save
your images more often.

But please use it and report bugs, it's actually usable :)

For a complete list of changes since 2.10.0-RC1 please see the
"Changes" section below.

There is also a release announcement on www.gimp.org
with screenshots of new features:

Happy GIMPing,
--Mitch

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.10.0 RC1 to GIMP 2.10.0 RC2
===

Core:

  - Symmetries are now preserved in XCF files (saved as image
parasites).
  - New runtime option --show-debug-menu in order to make the File >
Debug menu visible.
  - Do not show invisible actions in search dialog.
  - Do not dither image mask and channels for imported images.
  - Various optimizations for painting and display (WIP), including
parallelized painting code.
  - New "Misc" group to the Dashboard dock, with currently only a
"Mipmapped" field showing the total size of processed mipmapped
data.
  - Plug-ins debugging on crashes through --stack-trace-mode CLI option
improved to handle more case.
  - Fix selection -> channel -> selection roundtrips by never doing
any gamma conversion when converting between an image's selection,
channels, masks. Also, make all channels linear in all images with
>8bit.

Libgimp:

  - New group "drawable_edit" which contains all functions from "edit"
that are not cut/copy/paste. The new functions have much less
arguments and take them from the context instead. The respective
functions in "edit" have been deprecated.
  - New functions in "context" to configure aspects of gradient
drawing, and to set the built-in gradients (the new gradient
function in "drawable_edit" doesn't have a parameter for the
gradient type any longer).

User interface:

  - Lighter and Darker themes removed for now, Light and Dark themes
rewritten from scratch to get rid of various usability issues and
glitches. Only Gray theme from previous set kept as-is.
  - New GimpToolGyroscope on-canvas control, currently used for
the Panorama Projection filter. The widget provides on-canvas
interaction for 3D rotation (yaw, pitch, roll).

Configurability:

  - In Preferences > Dialog Defaults, new section "Filter Dialogs"
created to customize various common features of filters, such as
recent settings and advanced color options.
  - Do not default to last used filter settings, but allow this
behavior in Preferences > Dialog Defaults, with checkbox "Default
to the last used settings".

Tools:

  - Color used in the Smudge tool is now added to the color history.
  - "Blend" tool renamed to much more consistent "Gradient" tool.
Also it can now work in linear RGB matching capabilities CSS/SVG
specification without gamma-errors in color blending and CIE Lab
which in addition keeps a perceptual graylevel.

Assets / Resources:

  - Adding 4K UHD in document templates (and fixing 4K DCI).

Building:

  - New --enable-bundled-mypaint-brushes option in configure to decide
whether to use the configure-time installation path of MyPaint
brushes, or use a path relative to GIMP installation prefix
(typically for bundled binaries, such as on Windows or macOS).
  - Detect freetype2 using pkg-config (`freetype-config` is on its way
out in various distributions apparently).
  - Appdata now installed to $PREFIX/share/metainfo/

Translations:

  - 8 translations were updated: Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, French,
Italian, Polish, Russian, Swedish.

Re: [Gimp-user] sharpening script

is it good for you?

Doing 'set-name "XXX"' on  a layer doesn't ensure that the layer will be 
named "XXX". If a layer by that name already exists, you layer will be 
named "XXX#1" and your uses of get-layer-by-name() will return the wrong 
layer. So your script doesn't work if there are already layers named 
"'Blend09" and "Blend10". Better use variables...
