Do you have any idea if anybody is actually maintaining a GREYCstoration Gimp plugin anymore? The (really old) Gimp plugin I find uses an old version of the code, doesn’t support much of GREYCstoration and I haven’t even been able to build it for the latest Gimp versions (as in not having it crash when trying to use it).

I don’t think so. And there were some problems with getting it included in the main GIMP – among others, it’s in C++. I guess the best way to get an update would be to contact the plug-in’s author.

There is a flag that you can use when building a GIMP plug-in to get API compatibility (mostly) back to the GIMP 1.2 – I don’t recall the details but that might help you with your compilation issue.

Certainly cool and impressive the first time you see it but its just a C# port of an existing plugin.

janne, original developer of GREYCstoration plug-in stopped doing it because he found it difficult to maintain development (the header file that the plug-in relies on is taken from another project and is long and thus unreadable, and its developer refuses to change it). The development was then picked up by another French dude, he even released a new version (somewhere at SourceForge), but then he stopped doing it too for unknown reasons. I sent him one or two mails, but he hasn’t responded so far (for several months).

So, basically GREYCstoration is no longer a Gimp plugin.

It is good to know; just wish the authors would say so on their webpage and not needlessly waste the time of people.
