Hi! I am trying to use the Pixellate plugin filter as a custom parameter on export, but I am getting this error “Cannot pixellate pixel with itself” in the macro panel. What can I do in this situation?
You can exclude the pixel glyph. Or perhaps just ignore it. Does it it not export?
I already tried adding the ; exclude:_pixel entry to the custom parameter, but it still only exports the normal shapes without applying the pixelate filter 
In the filter string, you use the glyph name “pixel” and in the “exclude”, you use “_pixel”. One of the two is not right.
I actually tried both renaming ‘pixel’ and ‘_pixel’ throughout the file and custom parameter to see if it might bring any changes (though I’ve set the glyph as non-exporting anyway), but still it does not export the pixelate filter for me unfortunately.
I found the problem. It is in the python wrapper, so it needs a new version of Glyphs.
And I cleaned up the plugin code a bit. Should be a bit faster now.

Thank you for finding it Georg! It will be super helpful to the current project we’re working on. What version should I update my app to?
The update is not out, yet. I should work with the next cutting edge version.
