i noticed that recently(? not sure in which version this change was made), pressing the keys “ctrl v” no longer pastes as a floating selection, but as a layer

how can i make it so when i press ctrl v, the clipboard contents are pasted as a selection instead of a layer again?

specifically not reassigning the shortcut to “paste into selection”, because that only pastes into the existing selection, and doesn't allow me to move the pasted contents outside of the existing selection

Having real problems again 

Was using clone and for some reason the colour is now slightly different than the source  sometimes lighter sometimes darker depending what I'm trying to cover 
I probably clicked on something by accident as this seems to happen to me .

I don't know if there is any thing you can click on that takes everything back to default settings when originally installed as that would be a great help.

Did once before uninstall and re install but that didn't help as it remembered my last settings.

I'm a real novice (idiot ) as far as tech goes .

Thanks in advance Kev

A simple technique to make a path follow a given curve:

Make a path that is a straight line between two points o the curve.

   

   

   

   

   

I'm aware of the technique of creating an arc with the Paths Tool>Text Along Path but here's what I'd like to do. If I have an existing arc in an image (i.e.. a solid object or a geometric shape), how can I place text in a curve along its outline?

Hey, I want to refresh my Logo. The Letters and shapes were build on bad pixel at least by widescreen. I figured out how to convert letters and path with ai to .svg (Vector), it’s so sharp.

All of a sudden, while I was working on a Gimp document, in Gimp 2.10 on my Mac, instead of drawing a regular brush/pencil stroke, started drawing a weird "trail" of overlapping circles in my foreground colour at different shades and opacities. This happens with both the Paintbrush and Pencil tools, and in fact it also erases with the Erase tool in the same fashion.

Troubleshooting: I created a new document and the same happens. I exited Gimp, went back in, created a new document, and the same happens. I rebooted my computer: no help. I uninstalled Gimp and re-installed it, rebooted, changed nothing on the tool defaults, and the same happens. I remote connected to the Windows 7 Pro computer at work to see if it's something with my Mac, and Gimp works fine there (though it still may have to do with some interaction with my Mac). Another graphics app (specifically Krita) works fine on my Mac.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary

Should not be "Gimper Extraordinaire"?
I see / Junior Gimper/ Obsessive Gimper/ Seasoned Gimper / -> each word starting upper case like the others?  

Becoming "extraordinaire" and not getting 1 more star... Members are stuck at 5 stars?  

I was right to be scared > https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-SPAM-G...1#pid30061 now thew word "Gimper" is first in the title.
