| Numerous issues with 3.0+ I've been having. |

Gimp 2.10 worked fine, but then it was auto-upgraded to 3.0+ (I use Linux).
* No more Colorcube Analysis in 3.0+, so I cannot tell how many colors an image has.
* The good process for converting to indexed colors from 2.0+ was replaced with one in 3.0+ that sucks. With the 16-color CGA palette, it makes everything green-tinted. With 3-bit RGB (8 colors), it makes everything darker. And the dithering in Floyd Steinberg has a lot of lines and other distortion that was lacking in 2.0+.
* 3.0.4 does a lot of writing to the drive. About 10 MB just to start up, and hundreds of KB to MB every time I open an image or change a preference. Even 3.0 didn't have that problem.
Meanwhile I "downgraded" to 2.1 and it's definitely an upgrade.

| How to transform a layer and a path both together? |

Hi,
In gimp 3 (currently 3.0.4) how do I transform a layer and a path both together with a transform tool such as move, rotate, scale etc.
In gimp 2 I can lock them both and then use a transform tool to transform both by the same transformation.
In gimp 3 I can have the path selected in the paths dialog and the layer selected in the layers dialog but as far as I can spot so far a transform tool will transform one or the other not both.
Thanks for any help.

| Gimp 3.0.6 Python plug-in bug with text layer.set_color(color)? |

My environment: Apple Mac mini M2, macOS Tahoe 26.1.
I want to set the color of a text layer from a Python plug-in. In Gimp 2 I used the plug-in "gimp-text-layer-set-color".
In Gimp 3 I find the layer method "set_color(color)", but the color remains to be the foreground color. The same with the PDB plug-in.
First try with layer method:
Code:
textColor = Gegl.Color.new("red") # e.g.
textLayer = Gimp.TextLayer.new(image, "Text", someFont, sometextSize, Gimp.Unit.pixel())
textLayer.set_name("Text")
textLayer.set_color(textColor)
image.insert_layer(textLayer, parent, position)
The text is black.
Next try with pdb proc:
Code:
textColor = Gegl.Color.new("red") # e.g.
textLayer = Gimp.TextLayer.new(image, "Text", someFont, sometextSize, Gimp.Unit.pixel())
textLayer.set_name("Text")
pdb = Gimp.get_pdb()
textLayerSetColor = pdb.lookup_procedure("gimp-text-layer-set-color")
pdbConfig = textLayerSetColor.create_config()
pdbConfig.set_property("layer", textLayer)
pdbConfig.set_property("color", textColor)
textLayerSetColor.run(pdbConfig)
image.insert_layer(textLayer, parent, position)
The text is black.
Next try with foreground:
Code:
textColor = Gegl.Color.new("red") # e.g.
foreground = Gimp.context_get_foreground()
Gimp.context_set_foreground(textColor)
textLayer = Gimp.TextLayer.new(image, "Text", someFont, sometextSize, Gimp.Unit.pixel())
textLayer.set_name("Text")
image.insert_layer(textLayer, parent, position)
Gimp.context_set_foreground(foreground)
Success! The text is red.
Where is the error? With my code or with Gimp?

| Ubuntu - Right way to craft a .desktop entry for the AppImage |

Background: I've downloaded GIMP-3.0.6-x86_64.AppImage onto my Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS box, then created a .local/share/applications/GIMP.desktop file with the following content...
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=GIMP
Exec=/home/mark/Applications/GIMP-3.0.6-x86_64.AppImage
Icon=/home/mark/.local/share/GIMP.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Graphics;
... and then pinned it to the left sidebar (the "dash") searching for it in the app launcher, right-clicking it, and clicking "Pin to Dash".
It... sort of works. I see the icon in my sidebar:
![[Image: BpAd6NW.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/BpAd6NW.jpeg)
And when I click on that icon, GIMP opens. But GNOME doesn't seem to understand that the newly opened window is associated with the GIMP program whose sidebar shortcut I just clicked on. Instead, it creates a new, temporary shortcut, with a generic gear icon, in the bottom section of the dash:
![[Image: SmVwbcQ.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/SmVwbcQ.jpeg)
This behaviour differs from other AppImage-based applications I've created .desktop files for. For instance, if I open multiple windows of Zed, I see three orange dots next to my Zed icon in my sidebar, and I can right-click on the sidebar icon and go to "All Windows" to see all the open Zed windows I have open:
![[Image: 8mD9TsS.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/8mD9TsS.jpeg)
How - if at all - can I likewise make my open GIMP window be represented by an orange dot next to my pinned GIMP shortcut, instead of by adding a new shortcut with a gear icon? Is the reason this doesn't work that I have done something wrong in crafting my .desktop file, or is GIMP missing some kind of feature that's needed for it to properly integrate with the GNOME dock in the way other programs do.

I used GImp 3.0. So, there are Non Destructive Filters. I also use GMIC and layers. Somehow, I am confused the sequence of effects. My guess is
a/ The upper layer will take priority over the layer below
b/ Filters within the same layer also follow the same logic in a (Top is over bottom)
How should I use GMIC filters, eg I want to apply tone Enhance and then Freaky Details? In Input/Output, when to choose In Place/New Layer?
