  DUAL INSTALLING 2.8 & 2.10 ?
Posted by: StageMan - 05-22-2021, 04:03 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (5)

Hello, 

I need some help/knowledge/info/instruction... call it what you will. 

But before I present my inquiry I feel I need to give you a little history on my experience so you'll be better able to help.

 I had 24 years in I.T. (retired). I've been into graphics on a frequent basis since 1995. I started with CorelDraw 3. When I got my own machine I started signing up as a Beta Tester for various companies. 
I got a Beta copy of Jasc Paint Shop Pro 4 (PSP Pro 4). Eventually I got Jasc PSP Pro 7 (2000), and that is what I've been using until last year when I got Corel Paint Shop Pro X6 (formerly Jasc), which I haven't really used much, and that's because there isn't many YouTube tutorials on it. I was told about Gimp. I've been learning Gimp for the last couple of weeks. 

Now for the issue that I'm posting about. As I stated... I had been an I.T. Professional since 1995. I've always been able to install 2 versions of the same Application on my machines to more easily migrate to the newer version. Why is it that I can't install Gimp 2.8 and Gimp 2.10 on the same machine? 

And please, do not reply if you are not using Gimp on Windows 10. 

Thank You for you time in reading my dilemma and replying with your experience and knowledge. 

Best Regards, StageMan

  Trouble Creating New Fonts (- Brush)
Posted by: andyf - 05-21-2021, 07:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

This is my first time trying to create a custom crush and I can't seem to get this thing to export to my brushes folder no matter what I do.

It is in greyscale.

It is not transparent.

I flattened the image.

I am adding it to a folder that is selected in my font preferences.

I am trying to save it as a .gbr

Truly, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at about 100 posts and all of them list something I've tried as the solution. Clearly, I'm missing something but I have no idea what.

Thanks for any help.

  Add title to Symbol file
Posted by: meetdilip - 05-21-2021, 06:06 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - No Replies

I created a Symbol file for Inkscape using Bootstrap icons. I went well except for the fact that none of the icons has a <title></title> element. But the info required for the title is available in " class ", please see the code below. While I can manually add it for one or two icon/symbol, there are around 1.5K of them in the Symbol file


Code:
<symbol
      id="symbol16060"
      width="16"
      height="16"
      fill="currentColor"
      class="bi bi-currency-pound"
      viewBox="0 0 16 16">
       <title id="pound gbp">GBP Currency Pound</title>
     <path
        d="M4 8.585h1.969c.115.465.186.939.186 1.43 0 1.385-.736 2.496-2.075 2.771V14H12v-1.24H6.492v-.129c.825-.525 1.135-1.446 1.135-2.694 0-.465-.07-.913-.168-1.352h3.29v-.972H7.22c-.186-.723-.372-1.455-.372-2.247 0-1.274 1.047-2.066 2.58-2.066a5.32 5.32 0 0 1 2.103.465V2.456A5.629 5.629 0 0 0 9.348 2C6.865 2 5.322 3.291 5.322 5.366c0 .775.195 1.515.399 2.247H4v.972z"
        id="path1872-3" />
   </symbol>


Is there any method to automate the process ? ie, fetch the name from "class" and add it as <title id=name>name</title>

Thanks.

  Can't click and drag layers
Posted by: Yanny - 05-20-2021, 09:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I don't know if I'm missing something insanely obvious like a checkbox, but I can't use my mouse to move things around in the layers box. Wouldn't be a problem but it means I can't add things to a layer group. Answer will inevitably make me feel stupid but I cannot figure it out.

  Gimp exported image gets darker
Posted by: Akkou - 05-19-2021, 02:17 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

For example take this original image: https://i.imgur.com/ud3kX6Y.png
Compared to this: https://i.imgur.com/tTptnwm.png
I didn't edit it in any way or change any settings yet whenever I export it, it gets darker making it easier to see artifacts and overall making it unpleasant to look at.

  Rectangle Resize Shape
Posted by: slider311 - 05-18-2021, 12:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I created a rectangle that was to large and filled it in with the color white and placed text in the box. I clicked out of the rectangle tool and onto another tool, but now want to decrease the size of the rectangle box. Instead of having to re-draw the rectangle I would just like to make it smaller by re-sizing it.

How can done this best be done.

Gimp 2.10
