Hi Gilles, 
GmicQT seems to be working really good now. 
I messed with it for a good while tonight and found crash issues with g'mic in
testing.  Now trying with a 2015 MacBook and MacOS 12.6.3.

I do not see this issue.  But see my comment further below about transparency.

I don't know much about batch processing with GmicQT.  Would be a nice addition
I think. 

One Gmic issue I did see was that within GmicQT for some filters they have
transparent areas, but the transparent parts were saved as black.  For example
the polaroid filter has a transparent outline.  When I saved the image in
Digikam this area turned black. I tried setting the Image Editor workspace
format as PNG and exporting to PNG and TIFF and some other formats.   After
exporting, I tried opening the saved files in Affinity.  Maybe I'm missing
something, since I haven't really done a lot of transparency or editing in
Digikam, but have done various transparency stuff in the past in other
programs.  

Regards, Geoff
