nikgimp - a NikCollection plugin for GIMP3

[iiey]

There is another related thread Rewrite shellout.py to GIMP3, which is more Q&A/troubleshooting oriented.
For the sake of completeness, it might be worth briefly introducing the plugin here.

hola llevo usando gimp desde hace mucho en windows, con mi anterior instalacion, en Gimp 2.10 usaba los filtros nik en su version 6 de DxO a traves de Shellout estos al instalarlos no se instalan en c:/Archivos de Programas/Google sino en C:Archivos de Programas/DxO, sin embargo el plugin nikgimp para Gimp 3, es compatible con la version de los filtros nik de google, bastante mas antigua, Habria alguna forma de que fuera compatible con los filtros nik de DxO mas actuales?

Hello, I have been using Gimp for a long time on Windows, with my previous installation, in Gimp 2.10 I used the nik filters in version 6 from DxO through Shellout. When installed, they are not installed in c:/Program Files/Google but in Crogram Files/DxO. However, the nikgimp plugin for Gimp 3 is compatible with the version of Google's nik filters, which is much older. Is there any way to make it compatible with the most recent DxO nik filters?

Hi miradasdetenidas,

I appreciate that you reported an issue #1, I created an adaptation for DxO version in corresponding Pull Request according to the description of dxo:

Looking forward to hearing your feedback

Hi iiey, I very much appreciate your effort to make the DxO NIK Collection available in GIMP. I use NIK in DxO PhotoLab and I use GIMP to make final touches to several of my pictures. Now I can also use NIK in GIMP. Nice!
I experienced two issues though:
1) the plugin also included two internal programs in the menu, because it looks for "Nik" only in the filename.
I have solved this by using regular expressions to look for "Nik<space><number>". If you want I can send you the updated version.
(I am new to Gimp Forum en do not have a GitHub registration yet, so I probably don't know the obvious way to do this)
2) I cannot get HDR Efex to work. Am I right that you expect the input images to be layers in one image?
Would it not be more convenient to just use all open images in the current GIMP session?
I tried to fix this, but I cannot find out how to pass more than one image to DxO's HDR Efex. Not yet.
However, maybe I do something wrong and it should work the way it is. Did you get this one to work yourself?
