Hi, Using gimp 3.0.4 and Debian.

Is anyone else having problems when two images are open in multi window mode?

It's causing extra behaviour when doing for example:
    Image -> Guides -> New Guide (by percent)
    Image -> Guides -> Remove all Guides
    File -> Export As

one or more of these occur as well:
    Lock a path
    Lock and unlock layers
    Make a layer visible

I cannot spot a pattern that triggers it apart from it's worse the more that's in the image e.g.  having paths and/or layer masks present.

It's fine in single window mode.
It's fine in both single window mode and multi window mode when only one image is open.
I have not tried it in other versions of gimp 3 as I only have 3.0.4 available.

Hi everyone,

GIMP defines many custom GEGL operations with the gimp:* prefix (for example, gimp:color-balance, gimp:threshold, etc.).
As far as I can tell, these are registered programmatically inside GIMP during startup - they don’t exist as separate loadable GEGL plugins or .so files.

Is there any supported or practical way to make these gimp:* operations available to an external GEGL-based application, or to initialize the same set of operations in another process?

Specifically:

- Can GIMP’s GEGL operation registration be triggered externally (e.g. by linking or loading GIMP libraries)?
- Has anyone successfully reused these operations outside of GIMP’s runtime environment?
- Or is embedding code inside GIMP itself the only way to access them?

Any insight or code references from the GIMP source tree where these ops are registered would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hello forum !

I'm completely new to GIMP so I fear my questions will be very basic...
Thanks in advance for those who will have patience with me 

My first challenge : I have a round object (say, a large smiley) on a square jpg, white background.
I can select the object easily, but how can I remove the background ?
I tried adding a layer without background but get the full square each time I copy onto this new layer...

Just re-installed Gimp 3.0.6 on Windows 11. Upon opening a jpg Gimp shows a featureless black screen.

Right clicking a jpg and choosing 'open with Gimp' produces a similar effect. Any suggestions or help welcome. Thanks.

I am struggling with the recently added ability to use outlined and filled text. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not. As I am a novice in GIMP, the problem may be me. That is, there may be something I am failing to do. I click the icon to insert text and with the 'Filled' option, the text is visible. Then, I click the 'Outlined and filled' and nothing happens. However, a few times this has worked. Is it an inconsistency, being a new feature, or is it an inconsistency of my being a new user? Any advice on this will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi folks! I'm using GIMP 3.0.6 -1 (aarch64) on an X-server (Termux:X11) for Android, so that's a challenge for a start.
Literally not used the program for a couple of years(??)..since 2.10.

There is a plug-in I saved that has the following line:
menupath = '<Vectors>/Tools/Transformations/Moebius map with control of poles'
...which tells GIMP where to put to path (location) to the plugin, as I can't find it anywhere, in the Paths menu I assume the path used is outdated for GIMP3, or will a lot of plugins made for 2.10 and earlier simply not work on 3.x.x?

I just downloaded and installed 3.0.6 yesterday after being prompted to install an update. However, I can't open certain files to edit them as I get the following error messages:

Quote:GIMP Message
Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"
(C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\file-jpeg\file-jpeg.exe)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

GIMP Message
Opening 'C:\Users\USER\Downloads\TestPhoto.jpg' failed:

Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values

• C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins (empty except the gmic plugin I tried to install)
  
• C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins
  

Upgraded Gimp 3.0.4 to Gimp 3.0.6.
Gimp 3.0.6 is crashing when initialising documents.
Uninstalled & reinstalled many times, removed all Gimp from PC
still crashing.
Reinstalled Gimp 3.0.4 and working perfectly.
Any recommendation.
Thankyou

Hoping this is the most basic of questions with a quick referal to an answer...

I have imported an image, with a view to making some mods to it's content. 

To this end I have created another layer and employed a rectangle select, to enclose an area I would like to modify..

I have then used the colour picker to copy the colour of the image around this area and applied the fill bucket to essentially paint over some information that sat with the rectangular area, in the original image.

Happy days...

Now when exporting the image I find a feint border to the rectangle... Not what I was looking for...

There are many variables within the fill bucket tool, I am flying blind, but no alterations to these variables change the result...

How do I get rid of that border...?

Thanks,

Stuart
