Hi all,
New to the forum and to using GIMP for gifs. 

I'm trying to make a gif with a transparent background, but even when I select [replace] the frames stack when the gif is played. 
I've unoptimized the gif/layers and spent over an hour looking online for a solution. 

I feel like I'm missing something simple. 

I attached a very simple file I've been using to try and sort the problem out. 

Thanks!

How do I setup new hotkeys in GIMP 2.8?

I've gone to preferences > Interface > Configure keyboard shortcuts ('Use dynamic keyboard shortcuts' enabled), and nothing works. I even have save shortcuts on exit enabled and they never work.

Any ideas?

I have a question if something can be done in Inkscape similar to what's in Adobe Illustrator. Is it possible to create 2 shapes with different sizes and make it create a gradient like blend like in the tutorial listed below?

Greetings everyone.
I am in the middle of an enterprise scale scanning of many thick books.
The images in output (albeit already corrected by the scanner software) have all the words wavy and misaligned.

Is there a way to make gip correct these artifacts with a python script?
Maybe identifying a "expected" line and then operating a traslation of pixels to match the expected lines?

I searched but didn't find anything of relevance.

Also I cannot post the images here because the content is classified.

Thanks

This is not a huge deal since you can accomplish it in a variety of other ways, it would just remove a step. I looked at the code to see if it would be trivial to accomplish but I am not familiar enough with either Python or paths to dare to tinker. =P 

Could check boxes be added to remove the inner or outer curve and leave the dial marks?  This would be useful for some types of dials like a speedometer, etc.

Trying to read the python, it seemed to me maybe it could be done with a conditional in the range loop on marksCount? I don't know how to tell which section of the path is being drawn though, so back to having to tinker and not sure what the effects of that would be. If I am way off base, just tell me to pack sand.

Hi, I just downloaded Gimp 2.10.20 on my laptop with windows 10. 
I used Gimp before on my pc and everything was fine.
But on my laptop it crushes on startup I can just see a black window come up, but it closes immediately right after.
after checking what's written there that's what I managed to find:
 ../babl-0.1.78/babl/babl-internal.h:222 babl_fatal()
        babl_format("CIE Lab double"): not found
'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

that's what I get after running Gimp using "--verbose".
I have no idea what to do about it, and I'd appreciate any help. 
Thanks!

I was going to map the arrow keys to scroll the page up and down but I can't get GIMP to even recognize pressing the keys. If I try ALT-UpArrow (or SHIFT or CTRL) I just get Invalid Shortcut. Any idea why this is the case? Anyone have a work around or something that you use to scroll instead?

I am an automotive photographer and decent Gimp user. I sometimes replace background on images but I haven't figured out how to make the background show up naturally on the other side of the windshield and side windows.  Could someone give me some pointers on how to get started? Much appreciated!  See attachments (this is not my work but what I want to be able to do)

I plan to save money for buying new gears. Therefore, want to use Gimp. 
First time to touch Gimp.  Cannot open RAW files.  Message advising to install Darktable.
My question: Does Gimp pick only the RAW editing function from Darktable  or install the whole Darktable?
Thanks.
