null54 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It appears that a certain commercial image editor will be updated to use the Paint.NET G'MIC executable because the G'MIC authors are no longer distributing compiled versions of the G'MIC-Qt standalone app on Windows. I tried to tell one of the developers of that program that I will be changing how Paint.NET communicates with the G'MIC executable in a future version. But it appears that they think it is easier to use my Paint.NET executable than to do the correct thing and build the standalone version from source. 😕 Quote Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I don't know exactly what that means @null54, but it doesn't sound good. Will this affect your plugin?

The Paint.NET version of G'MIC-Qt is not intended for use by other applications, so if another application is using it I will not let that stop me from making any changes. I am currently investigating how to make the Apply button work like in GIMP or Krita, where it shows a preview on the canvas (like most other PDN plugins). The one issue with this is that after you press Apply the plugin cannot be canceled, you would have to use undo in the History window after the plugin closes. 1 Quote Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 So a few miles south of me on Sunday, we had the worst car pileup in Wisconsin history. 131 cars in a near-whiteout storm. All I could think is, "It's February. In Wisconsin. On the weekend. Why are you trying to act like it's June?!? Stay home!" Only one fatality, but that's really one too many. Don't go out if you can avoid it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 @LionsDragon I saw the images on the news. I can't believe only one poor soul passed away as the images were unbelievable.

BoltBait Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Living in the forest is generally a really cool thing.

dipstick Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Well looks like I'll be going into early retirement (58 years old) in a couple of months. I could re-locate to another state, but not in the mood anymore. Been with the company for 38 years and don't feel like starting over again. All the kids have grown up and moved out, but I think it's time to throw in the towel instead of trying something new.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 @BoltBait - sorry to read about your broken garage. Boy, you've had a lot of aggro lately 😱 @dipstick Yep - to retire and move too, sounds like a lot. One thing at a time 😉 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

lynxster4 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 That bites the big one @dipstick! I hope you are able to financially retire. Losing a job at our age, it isn't so easy finding a new one. And you've got about 4 years to go till you can 'collect' at 62.

dipstick Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I think I'll be OK. I'll be retiring from the company, but may still get a part time job or something. It's either that or move across country to another facility. Not in the mood for that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipstick Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Well, it's official, I lost my job and am currently in pre-retirement mode at the moment.

I recently found out that my job is being outsourced to India. I have 3 weeks to find another job at Intel or I'll be forced to retire. AND, in the mean time, I have to train my replacement who barely speaks English and can't program themselves out of a wet paper bag... (I've had 1 interview, but no luck so far finding another position... because for every job I apply for, I'm up against 100 other people that were cut at the same time as me. Seriously, Intel just cut 28% of their IT department, worldwide. And, they'll probably do it again next year once everyone over in India is trained.) 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does a company replace an employee with someone else who's not even qualified for the position? Sure they'll be paying him a lot less, but you get what you pay for. The executives at Intel must be smoking "the good stuff". 1 Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
