Hey everyone,
So I am sure this gets asked all the time, and I apologize if I add to the number of times but even after all the research I have done, I am still not entirely convinced I have put the scripts and plug-ins in the correct places. Below is two screenshots from Edit/Preferences/Folders/Scripts and also /Plugins
What I am ultimately confused about is the GIMP I have installed and run is
I have two folders labeled "2.0" and "2.10" that contain the plug-ins and scripts I've downloaded, I ended up putting them into both folders because I couldn't seem to get it to work any other way. Although most of them seem to work, I'm not sure what the difference is between these two folders. I'm hesitant to delete either one and test it out myself, as it took me way to much time to get everything working correctlycorrectly. If anyone could provide information or insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When I made an image in GIMP I overlayed a paper texture onto my photo making the image look like it's made of paper.
But when I transfered the image to VTF or made it my computer background, the paper texture I added seems to be missing, is there a way to add this texture to the image so it looks like this no matter what, when I put it in VTF or any other software.
Thanks.

| Gimpscripter plug in for 2.10? |

Hello all, I'm a new programmer and somewhat experienced GIMP user. After doing some research into Python Fu I was excited to read about this Gimpscripter plug-in. But when I install it, it shows up in the filter bar - I click on it - nothing happens. I can't seem to figure out if I've installed it wrong or if this plug-in doesn't work on 2.10.
Has anyone here used Gimpscripter on GIMP 2.10?
Any tips on why the plug-in might show up but the GUI isn't showing up?
I've extracted the Gimpscripter files like this
AppData
Roaming
GIMP
2.10
plug-ins
Gimpscripter.py
Gimpscripter(Folder)
gui(Folder)
mockmenu(Folder)
Doc(Folder)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi I am new to this.
I have a nice photo of myself and with gimp I have cut out the backgrounds and I think the background is now transparent.
The photo is w1008 x h961
I want to add the photo with the transparent background to a larger background - w18 66 x h9 61
I have saved a background of this size in white and would like to change it to colour that I would like and then put my picture with the transparent background on the top.
I would really like some help to achieving this because I'm getting nowhere.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Concatenate a layer name with fixed text and variables |

Hi all,
I'm learning Python as I go along in the Gimp. Can somebody get me going on this one please?
I have a few variables loaded with figures. (blur is for example 10 and contrast 0.15). I would like to set a layer name, so that later I can save the layer with a filename based on the layer name.
But how do I combine fixed text and variables? It must be something like this, but how exactly?
Code:
pdb.gimp_item_set_name(new_layer, "Blur "+{blur}+"contrast "+{contrast})
I would like the layer name to be "Blur 10 contrast 0.15".
I also tried with "&" but that didn't work either. Nor did it without the "{}".
Am I close? Thanks!

The above was the answer to a question I found in reddit thanks to a similar quest of mine. I'm set out to do just that, and my lackings on Python programming are very nicely being covered by ChatGPT.
I have text layers in an xcf file with descriptive names and at this point, all I want to do is replace the text in them programmatically from a python script..
Chat GPT has already come up with some python code but it's throwing up a crucial error right at the beginning:
line 1, in <module> import gimpfu ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gimpfu'
Then Chat GPT suggested this:
Code:
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python")
import gimpfu
Same error pretty much:
line 3, in <module> import gimpfu ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gimpfu'
Chat GPT suggested to find the location for gimpfu.py
Code:
find / -name gimpfu.py 2>/dev/null
That rendered nothing in my terminal. I'm on bullseye, MX Linux, and GIMP is installed from the repository. I can reinstall should that be the suggestion. I'm on GIMP 2.10.28
Any ideas as to how to go about this? Are there any sample files that could show the editing of an existing text laxer? But then, How can I get python to import the library that talks to the GIMPs API?

What I have noticed while working with canvas size 16,000 x 11,000...some operations take an especially long time to conclude, making Gimp appear "locked", although it'd actually chuffing away.
For example, a bucket fill operation, even within a relatively small target area of the larger picture, for instance only 150x 200 pixels, can take 45 seconds to actually paint the target. My guess is that's because Gimp has to calculate it''s task relative to pixel 1;1 of the graphic, so there is a lot of heavy lifting going on under the covers, despite the appearance of a simple task. Paths on really large canvasses take a long time to process, as well.
In fact, I've been getting a surprising amount of outright crashes when stroking a path on large canvases, more so than I've ever experienced with Gimp before, which is heart breaking when I've got considerable work in progress that just goes "poof" along with it.
What I've done is to modify my workfow, performing all the other "non-path" tasks as a group, then saving that as an interim work, before embarking on any extensive path work.... saving paths for last....which the strategy has eliminated a lot of frustration.
I've been knitting "tiles" together of an old map that I found in a multi page format PDF online source. Importing into Gimp at 600 PPI, and then touching up the join areas. And it was going so well I decided to expand my work, ultimately enlarging the canvas to 16,000 x 14,000....whereafter Gimp got REALLY crash prone...crashed like half a dozen times just this afternoon. But having learned the hard way what to expect, I just saved a copy before plotting any path, just to be on the safe side.
Probably need to buy a new laptop, my current machine is maxxed at 8 GB ram..

| Cropping multiple images and exporting all layers |

Novice gimp user
I had a previous version of gimp along with some plugin i assume
I could open 10 images as layers, crop and then export all layers. I cannot seem to remember what plugin that was if it even was a plugin. The only thing i remember is that the output folder was always in system 32
Any clue what it might have been?
