.ora export

[TheRambler]

Hi


I have gimp 3.04 on windows 11 x64.

Everything worked well with Gimp 2.0 etc.

I use Gimp to create texts and images into .png files these files are then put into an authoring software.

What I generally did is that I exported the different layers into an .ora file that was then changed into a zip file
and I had my layers with my transparency and my text for the menu, film, bonus, and so on.

now I don't have any transparency I just have the cropped images with nothing in it, no text.

Does anybody know how to solve this issue ?
And another problem how can you create an 1920x1080 image with transparency background,
everything has changed I'm kind of lost...It always makes an image with the background color.


Best

"File/New.../Advanced Options/Fill with:" and select transparency. You can also set the default for this in "Edit/Preferences/Default Image"

First the easy bit: As programmer_ceds described.

Then the open raster format .ora problem.  After a bit of experimenting, it does look like a bug.

I would send a bug report maybe with an example file to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

For example, A Gimp 3 structure (1) A set of layers, mixed graphics and text. I put a "new-from-visible" on top just as a record of what it should look like.  Export as a .ora file and re-open where it now looks like (2)

   

I have tried opening that ora file in both MyPaint and Krita and they show the same scrambled image.

Looks like the devs are already aware of a problem, but I posted a bug report anyway

TheRambler: As a temporary fix, go to line 224 in file-openraster.py, drop down a line, and add this:

tmp_layer.set_visible (False)

That should fix export for you until we make a proper fix.
