  Handling brushes
Posted by: rkimber - 09-12-2021, 08:48 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

The more I use Gimp, the more brushes I acquire. This brings the problem of selecting brushes from the very small brushes window, which I am finding increasingly awkward.

How do other people handle large numbers of brushes?

Is there a way of increasing the size of the brush selection window?  Is there a way of grouping the brushes into categories so that they are not all displayed at the same time?  Often an abr file contains many individual brushes some of which one might never use - is there a way of deleting the unwanted brushes?

I would appreciate any hints on brush management that people might have.

  How to develop python plugins after Gimp 2.10.22 ?
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 09-12-2021, 03:40 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (9)

Since Gimp 2.10.22, python2 has been replaced by python3, that's great!
But what has 'gimpfu' been replaced with ?
The release notes say :

Quote:The new way to make Python plug-ins is streamlined, following the same logics as for other supported languages


but it doesn't say what library should be called from python instead of gimpfu and all the documentation I found predates this change in Gimp.

To be clear I don't want to install any legacy stuff. I want to write proper up-to-date python code.

  trasparencey bug?
Posted by: chris64 - 09-12-2021, 01:11 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have used Gimp for years. However, I can't seem to add a transparent layer anymore. When I do, this transparent layer isn't transparent. I blocks out all other layers that are under it. Huh

  Installing a new font
Posted by: mrbruno - 09-11-2021, 03:30 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (2)

I am a novice Gimp user, use version 2.10.18 on Linux, and am trying to install some *.ttf fonts.  I tried following the steps in the documentation but the fonts aren't showing up.

  1. I've put the files in my personal Gimp directory such as $HOME/.gimp-2.8/fonts/Exo-Regular.ttf
  2. I used the refresh button in the font dialog - the fonts are not present in Gimp
  3. I restarted Gimp - the fonts are still not present

What am I doing wrong?  I realize the directory is .gimp-2.8 and not .gimp-2.10 but that's what was in my home directory.  Should I rename the directory?

In the actual gimp-version the sliders of the color chooser dialog are to a big amount covered in the out-of-gamut-marker-color.
How can i remove this overlay?

  How do I change the default color and size of fonts in GIMP?
Posted by: eru777 - 09-11-2021, 12:51 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

The default size and color are invisible. Is there a way to change them?
Rather than changing them by hand every time I open the program

  How do I drastically reduce the size of the JPEG?
Posted by: eru777 - 09-11-2021, 10:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I take photos daily of items for an estore. They are a big size, and I'd like to reduce it.
I tried to reduce the quality, but the size is still big. Do you have any ideas?
I reduced the dimensions but I would like to further decrease the overall SIZE, not just the dimensions.

  G'Mic-Qt error
Posted by: denzjos - 09-11-2021, 08:28 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

After installing the G'Mic-Qt version 2.9.9 I've got an error using Gimp 2.10.24(revision 2) on a Windows10 OS. Because I installed the new version without deinstalling the old version I removed G'mic-Qt and installed the new version. The error was still there. I removed the G'Mic-Qt and searched if there was any information was still some things on my computer concerning G'Mic-Qt. I found some things in the windows folder: Users/My_user/Appdata/Roaming/gmic. I removed this folder and installed G'Mic-Qt version 2.9.9 and the error was gone. Now I get an error when I use following plugin :
https://github.com/cl4cnam/gimp_cartoon_plugin
Using the previous version of G'Mic-Qt the plugin worked perfectly. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance for the response.

Question Portable - correct way to create folders?
Posted by: Krikor - 09-10-2021, 09:48 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (7)

Hello Guys!

I use Gimp Sam'j Portable, having one copy on PC and another on my USB Flash Drive (Pendrive).

The problem is that whenever I use the pendrive on a different PC I need to re-enter the path for each folder to gimp ; Patterns, Brushes, Scripts, Plug-ins, etc.

This routine is laborious, boring and discouraging.  Sad

I usually use the Pendrive with my laptop, so ok, I don't need to change anything, the path only needed to be informed once.

Is there an ideal way (folder) where I can put my files and they will be automatically detected even if I use Pendrive on several PCs?

Thank you very much.

  resample with constrained proportions
Posted by: TooManyTimeZones - 09-10-2021, 07:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have an image that is the correct size (length and width) but it is only 98 dpi.  Before printing, I need to resample the image to increase it to 150 dpi without changing the size.   Photoshop has this capability ("constrain proportions"), but I can't figure out how to do it in GIMP.  

Is this possible in GIMP?
