Release candidate #1 for Gimp 2.10 is out! - Ofnuts - 03-27-2018

So once Gimp 2.10 is out, everything will be GEGL and all the old scripts and plug-ins, including G'MIC will no longer work ?

Installed (Windows-64).
First notes on usage:
- G'MIC cannot be linked to (my test was with the usual procedure: downloaded the .zip, unzipped, linked the unzipped folder in Preferences)
- GEGL is still missing a PDB interface (can only be used interactively)
- my filters ported to 2.9.9 work on 2.10

GEGL is hidden behind the script-fu/python-fu interface, so there are few changes (but I wonder how many scripts will work on a 16-bit image). But for instance, foggify.py (Filters>Render>Clouds>Fog in 2.8) is basically the same between 2.8 and 2.10.

Thats comforting. Im kind of nervous about this switch.
Obviously a lot will be better with the advancement of the program, but i wonder how long it will take until the scene embraces everything to move forward, especially when stuff has to be re-written to be usable.
Im mostly exited about the layermask for groups and the fixed Overlay Blendmode.
The unified transformations tool is probably a very good thing too.

Many compiled and python plugins will still work - the resynthesizer / heal-selection set for example.
No provision for 32 bit compiled plugins that I can see.
gmic-gimp-qt throws up an error which I am sure will be fixed in due course. The 64 bit gtk version works.
my advice
Installing - temporarily disable existing .gimp-2.8 profile to prevent migration of settings and start off with a clean installation.
Location of scripts / plugins / fonts maybe brushes.
Make your own easily accessable folders and point Gimp to them in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders
Who want to go to C:\Users\your-name\Appdata\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ all the time

Thats good advice and i will probably go with two versions for while.
Im currently a bit unmotivated about Gimp.

You should certainly keep your existing Gimp 2.8.x - Gimp 2.10 is a Release Candidate means reasonably stable but still need more development.
You keep both versions.
By default it installs to C:\Program Files\GIMP 2.10\ so does not interfere with Gimp 2.8
The Gimp profile is separate in C:\Users\your-name\Appdata\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ which is where you put your scripts/plugins/fonts etc
see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Adding-plug-ins-to-Gimp-2-10?pid=7286#pid7286
There are going to be plugins and scripts that will not work. The favourite of many, layerfx.py for example.
32 bit compiled plugins will not work. Your beautify plugin? - try and see if it works.
For many the enhancements in Gimp 2.10 will be irrelevant. Example: Higher bit depths not really required if the end result is an animated gif.

What you can do it put all your scripts/plugins in one or more directories that are outside of the Gimp profiles, and go to `Edit>Preferences>Folders to add them to the directories where Gimp looks for scripts or plugins.
