| Some webp alternatives |

The Gimp webp plugin is very adequate. You can export your image and make animations easily although sometimes a bit slow. This is about some command line (CL) programs that might come in useful as alternatives.
The webp format does come from Google, their official offerings are here: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download
The download provides utilities cwebp: encoding tool / dwebp: decoding tool / gif2webp: gif conversion tool / vwebp: webp viewer / webpmux: create and extract anmations I have to confess that the only one I use regularly is the viewer, vwebp
ImageMagick v.7 (IM) supports webp. There is a page with all the details here: https://imagemagick.org/script/webp.php Converting an image to webp is as simple as;
Code:
magick filename.ext -quality 50 filename.webp
What is the advantage over Gimp ? Easy to batch convert with IM
Where it might come in useful is with simple animations, You can string several images together to make an animation with variable timings.
Code:
magick -delay 100 fileA.ext -delay 200 fileB.ext -delay -delay 50 fileC.ext -quality 50 animated.webp
You need to experiment but a low quality settting can provide a smaller filesize than the comparible animated gif, with equal quality and no 256 colour limitations.
A very simple example:

| Script-fu error on selecting font |

I am getting error messages from script-fu.
For example, I opened File-->Create-->Fx-Foundry-->Logos-->Fiery Steel. When I select the Font box to change the Font I get the following message.
Quote:GIMP Message
Plug-in "script-fu"
(usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu)
attempted to install procedure "temp-procedure-
number-1" with invalid parameter name "dialog status".
OK
The font can not be changed.
Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?
I am using GIMP 2.10.8 on Ubuntu Studio 20.04. Any other info needed?

| how to know image opened as svg |

I opened an svg image that I exported with librecad's "export as makercam svg" option and gimp opened the svg with transparent backgroun but an ellipse in my drawing was distorted.
Then I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. Then I opened that image in gimp. Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg?
Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?

Hello All
I have just downloaded gimp and did a little exploring. I have close all the windows on the screen. I would like to restore to the original start configuration. I have tried and made things worse.
Thank you
george
