Darktable 5.0 <-> GIMP 3.0 interface for windows

[jenshannoschwalm]

Describe the bug

It seems that on windows darktable master is still not recognized in GIMP 3.0 as a plugin so developing a raw via darktable is broken.

Steps to reproduce

Can't test as not a windows user and not having access to a windows system at all.

Expected behavior

Interface should work

Opening this to keep track

@zisoft would you be able to check dt master vs gimp 3.0rc on windows so we might get it fixed or confirmed it works with dt 5.0?

[zisoft]

I'll try my very best :-)

This is my PC at work and I have no admin privileges here, so neither darktable nor gimp are installed in standard windows paths.

Can you tell me what steps are needed to test this?

[jenshannoschwalm]

GIMP with latest 3.0RC and dt master should be installed.

1. Starting gimp should show dt as a plugin
2. loading a raw via dt should work :-)

[zisoft]

I am afraid I cannot help here much. Without admin privileges I cannot install in Windows default paths so gimp cannot find my self-compiled darktable. Is there any way to tell gimp where to look?

Is there any way to tell gimp where to look?

I don't think so.
