This RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS gave me a hard time, thus this is what I discovered on how it behaves (Related to this thread)

RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS Works per image session (ID would be correct), RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS cannot be transmitted to another opened image.

Thus if you have a bunch of images opened, you cannot run first RUN-INTERACTIVE on the first image to export and then RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS for the other images, thinking it will use the last settings you did use on the first image... That Will Not Work

How it works?
Example I want to export 5 opened images as JPG, but previously I did exported [Image 1] and [Image 3], the RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS will run like RUN-NONINTERACTIVE using the last values it found in the Image's session/ID in [Image 1] and [Image 3]
But will run RUN-INTERACTIVE for image [Image 2], [Image 4] and [Image 5], because there is no history in those images' session/ID of an export (whatever type of "Export")

There is also a "caveat", you export a second time but with another image/file type,
For example you did export all your images as PNG first, but you want also to export a second time as WebP to put on your website.

If you chose RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS, it won't ask you any question this second time it will run as RUN-NONINTERACTIVE for the WebP (or any other type) because in the image's session/ID it's "marked" as already exported...
But I don't know were RUN-WITH-LAST-VALS takes the values from PNG to transfer to WebP, because they are quite different, especially the options...

Anyway, I hope this help the first timer with Script-fu to not struggle to understand that behavior, like I did

I made these animations over a 6 month period with Mandelbulber and processed them with Gimp and G'MIC filters. I use filters on multiple layers from batch scripts. I heard 'Fire on the Horizon ' on this earth moving video from Idaho.

Hya all you cute-n-cuddly GIMP users.

I have been using GIMP for about a decade and I love it, however recently after doing a clean install on my desktop PC, ALL my XCF files [previously all GIMP files] are now all PAINT XCF files and will not transfer to, or come up in, my GIMP list of 'open' files.

Try as I might, I just cannot convert my XCF files to the GIMP format I require.

It would be very useful if someone can assist me on this one, and let me access my artwork.



kind regards, Rab Smith.

HI all,
I am new to GIMP.  Been a PS user but can no longer afford the way it's going so installed gimp 2.10.36 on C in a win 11 64 bit machine and GIMO portable on an external SSID on a win 10 64 bit machine, both laptops.and then

Both are set up to my preferences.     I am at the moment interested in logo creation and photo manipulation for website use

Trawled you tube and came across Davies Media Design and thought buying the masters course would be a good choice.  Turns out three quarters of the resources are missing and have been, according to the comments, for some years. DMD doesn't answer emails so somewhat disappointed.  Sorry if this is a DMD forum, if it is maybe the dude will read this and send me the missing resources.

Guess I won't be getting the Udemy Certificate from the video alone.

My current issues are:

I cant' seem to get stroking text to work.   I appreciate that its a different way of doing things but I can't get it to work to my satisfaction and its a somewhat convaluted way of doing it.  Maybe theres a plugin out there.

I also can't get text on a circle to work.  Text on the top part of the arc is fine but text on the lower places on the top right corner and i cant flip it to read upright.   However, despite copying logo by nick every step, i conclude that i must be missing something.

Does anyone know of an online teacher who someone as inexperienced as i can follow and the instructions work please?  Or is there a plug in for text on a circle?

I also now have Inkscape and I will say that as far as I am concerned it is far superior to Illustarator in ease of use.

Hopefully someone will read this and tell me where I am going wrong.

THanks for reading.

hello dear friends  - good day 


 i have a new  image - and i want to color the field

a. above the line with blue and the area 
b. below the line with magenta (e.g. the color that is shown in the heard of the smilies


  line_coloring_12.xcf (Size: 19.84 KB / Downloads: 287)

see here 
   

well - how to start  here - how to achieve that

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time creating high quality PNG images which I have layered into worksheets I plan to sell.  Now I need to flatten my pages.

When I use Image>Flatten, my beautiful images look faded.  The drop shadows nearly disappear altogether.  The loss of quality is dramatic.  I've tried increasing the Quality slider in the Export popup from 90 to 100 with no noticeable improvement.  

What do I do?

I am using GIMP 2.10.36.

Thank you!

I'm trying to set a variable or a function but nothing is working, I always got "Illegal function", or "unbound variable", or whatnot

A screenshot about what I try to do
Having a variable will allow me to only input the variable in the other lines (in red), unless my thinking is wrong (that's also something to take in count).
   

Here is the code, if I understood (while (> i 0) where i is a variable and I try to catch when i is equal to 1
How can I catch that number to change the variable depending that number?

Anything I create with Gimp 2.10.36 has two curved arrows in a circle and says "availability status: sync pending"

How do I get rid of this?

Thanks

Inspired by Rich2005 over-there >  https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Tip-to...es-at-once which he literally wrote the WebP part

Use case: You got a bunch of images in GIMP and you have finished to work on them, and want to export all at once in JPG or WebP or PNG, or TIFF or even BMP
Or another use case: You did slice your image using guides with Image > Slice Using Guides with a grid of 10x10 and you got 100 opened images, go to export them one by one...  

You will want this with all those images opened (un-zip, then put the .scm file in the scripts folder)
  sg-save-all-open-a.scm.7z (Size: 2.29 KB / Downloads: 994)

Now you just go to File > Export All Images As... Chose your folder, Chose the type of image, Give a generic name, and a start number (auto-numbering)

   

What changed with the original ?
A lot, like A LOT.
Export the full image and not just a layer.
Once you chose where to save and the file type, you can get a coffee or a beer, the script will care for the other million opened images and no question asked by GIMP.
No default settings from GIMP,  as before the exported JPG was bigger than the original,

Thus now you can set your settings in the code, I did comment ALL for > JPG, WebP, PNG and TIF
