Title says it all.
I've been using GIMP for more than a decade on a few computers.
This time a fresh install doesn't start.
Absolutely nothing.

Suggestions?

I am new to writing plug-ins - I've only done two. They are python on Gimp 3.0.6, running on Windows 11.

This one opens an image from a file and then assigns a display as follows:

This is a script-fu batch plugin. https://www.maxbronner.dev/blog/dev_2025-03-26
and for a download https://github.com/max-bronner/gimp3-ima...ort-plugin

The only comment I have on that is for linux make sure that batch-export.scm is made executable.

It scales then exports opened images in a variety of formats.  That might not be what you specifically want but it is relatively clear as to the export syntax which is useful.

I am unable to access my Outlook PST file because it is password-protected. I have tried opening it on various Windows versions, but the issue persists. Is there any safe and reliable technique to unlock a PST file on all Windows versions without risking data loss? Please suggest a practical solution.

When using the perspective tool to modify an image that needs much adjustment the process could be made better. It appears that the perspective tool anchors the original corners of the picture except for the one you are changing even after they have moved. Doing it this way causes the alignment of the other corners to change requiring you to readjust them (sometimes more than once). Wouldn't it be better to anchor the other corners on the new corner of the picture so they don't require readjustment after set? (Hope that makes sense). Or have a button for that option. First picture is original, second is first pass, third is second pass, 4th is final.

Why is it so hard to create a plugin. I am trying to write a simple plugin to export the current image to a PNG file and then close the view. I am stuck at the save the image. Plugin attached.

I can find no way of getting the path from a GFile returned from the parameter setting dialog in a plugin.

Canva has released version 3.0.3 of Affinity. The Affinity Suite previously consisted of the paid programs Photo, Designer, and Publisher, which were considered equivalent to Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Starting with version 3.0.0, all applications have been consolidated into a single app, which is offered for free. A free Canva account is required to use the software. Some features, including generative AI, require a Canva Premium subscription. Affinity is available for Windows and macOS; the iOS version is still in development.

I'm trying to debug a python plugin on gimp 3.0.6 on Windows 11. I can get all the section of code to run in the python console, but nothing turns up in the plugin itself except the specified dialog.

I cannot find out where any message output goes. Is there any way of putting the equivalent of print() statements in the code and having it turn up on a console somewhere? I'm running it from the command line as gimp-3.0.exe --verbose.

Where is there some good information on how to create one gradient in one colour? I'm using V2.
