OK I must be the dumbest person on the planet but I've been using photoshop for years and wanted to get off the Adobe train. I wanted to try Gimp and I can't even change the color of the background. I created a new "canvas" it was white, I wanted to change the color. I selected all and went to the color picker, changed color, nothing...I added some text in the canvas. I believe I have it selected. Chose a different color, tired both foreground and background. Nothing. Wouldn't change. Please help...

Is it me or are there general internet problems today? I have had problems accessing Reddit, StackOverflow, Gimp.org, and some others. Doesn't look like my own internet (mostly errors from the servers themselves, and doesn't work either on my work PC which only sees the internet through a heavily filtered VPN...).

| Script to auto-rotate images to align with text flow? |

Tried search string on the forum:
Quote:Script auto rotate image text flow document
Had been thinking for many years: if an image of a text document could automatically be oriented along the textflow.
I self-learnt some programming out of curiosity. Very elementary programs. I don't have the patience, persistence, or hyper-focus of a programmer.
Had been thinking in terms of drawing a set of two parallel lines apart from the middle towards the edges, and the maximum number of longest uninterrupted straight line segments that could be drawn between those two parallel lines (from one edge of an image to the opposite edge is quite superfluous) could help auto-orient a document along the direction of the text flow?
Perhaps this is the reason why OCR programs such as Abbyy Finereader could automatically rotate scanned documents?
But have left using Doze and associate programs. Have gscan2pdf and gimagereader. They are nothing compared to Abbyy of 10 years back. But who knows, in the name of PROPRIETARY, what malware/spyware/trojan might have they been inserting, in addition to regular paid upgradation of Doze and anti-virus, anti-malware and what not software? So I am better off with bits and pieces solution and better safety and security with Free and OSS system.
Is there a script to achieve this very purpose? Auto-rotate such a file to horizontally align the direction of the flow of text with the help of a scirpt? Or any other tool?
Any advice please?
In the end another request: if the post isn't found appropriate for this forum, may I please be sent a copy before deleting it.

| Failing on loading script Mac OS X: gimp_check_updates_callback failed |

Hi, I had a script that was working for me on Mac OS X
Code:
franky@frank ~ % /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/MacOS/gimp -i -b "(let* ( ( image (car (file-png-load 1 "\\""/Users/franky/Desktop/image.png"\\"" "\\""/Users/franky/Desktop/image.png"\\"") ) ) (drawable (car (gimp-image-active-drawable image) ) ) ) (plug-in-colortoalpha 1 image drawable '(0 0 0) ) (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "\\""/Users/franky/Desktop/image2.png"\\"" "\\""/Users/franky/Desktop/image2.png"\\"") ) " -b "(gimp-quit 0)"
To run color to alpha, I was working on some shell scripts with a python virtual environment in it this morning and something I've done seems to have confused Gimp - maybe in regards to Python version?
I now get this error when I try to run it:
Code:
GIMP is started as MacOS application
gimp_check_updates_callback: loading of https://www.gimp.org/gimp_versions.json failed: Operation not supported
batch command experienced an execution error:
Error: eval: unbound variable: \/Users/coopermor/Desktop/Armato-Side-Table_render_shadow_difference.png\
Any ideas? Thanks so much! Happy to provide any additional details that are helpful.

Hello and good morning.
I post on Debian user group and forums with the same username, and on Knoppix forums as rajibando.
Have been using gimp, but only for minor uses, for the last 12 years. I don't have any high end technical knowledge on GIMP. Just common sense usage ideas.
I have a pdf file that contains only images.
There is a long process: Right Click on the PDF file ⟶ Open with GIMP ⟶ Import from pdf ⟶ Open as Images ⟶ set dpi and other options ⟶ each image opened.
Then save each image as a separate file.
Is there a shortcut? That is, an automated/batch process, for the above step without actually opening any file on GIMP window?

| Brush painting with background color instead of foreground color |

So I'm relatively new to Gimp, and I was working on something when suddenly the brush started painting with the background color instead of the foreground color. It's like this no matter what colors are selected for foreground and background, it always paints in whatever is set as the background color now. I tried updating Gimp (to 2.10.24 revision 3) and resetting preferences and neither of them fixed the problem. Did I accidentally press the wrong thing by accident or something? How do I get it back to normal?

Hi, I see the following message when I try to find my toolbox: "The chosen recent dock contains a toolbox. Please close the currently open toolbox and try again." This occurs even with a brand new file and image. The toolbox is nowhere to be seen... help!
