Due to the nature of the work I do with gimp, I frequently export many images (sometimes hundreds) while working. Each image is saved as a bmp with the same file name, with only a number increasing by one each time. I have already sped up this process with keyboard shortcuts, but taking the time to name each image and increasing its number by one as to not overwrite the previous has become increasingly tedious. Is there anyway I can automate this process further? The only thing that needs to change for each file name is to increase the number by 1, is there any possible way to automate this in gimp? Thanks for your help.

GIMP 2.10.20

1) Wacom One sensitivity not working. Set to 'screen' and tried with 'opacity pressure' setting. I've watched the youtube tutorials and this is impossible to screw up yet its not working. I think there is a bug.

2) "shift+[" and "shift+]" are not working. These are default shortcuts to de/increase the brush size by 10.  De/increase by 1 with '[' and ']' work fine. 

Any help at all is appreciated. Thank you.






PS I wrote this already and then when I pressed post it said request to large and deleted everything I wrote. Gimp has me very confused and ready to go back to paint.net. 

I'm very new to gimp - but a pro at photoshop...trying to make the switch since adobe switched to stupid monthly payments...
I'm trying to simply paint with the brush but for some reason it doesn't use a solid color but instead paints using what's on my clipboard. So when I clip the brush my clipboard image suddenly pastes & I keep clicking it- over & again tons of my clipboard image as if it were a paint color. What is this? The same thing happens when I try to use pencil...

I have a layer which is 600x600 (size of a passport photo), and I paste a larger image (a person's portrait), which I resize so the person's face fits in the boundary.  Other parts of the photo (e.g. above the head and below the neck) are not relevant for this purpose.

It used to be (2.8.xx) that after my resizing and then finally anchoring the selection to that layer (clicking outside the pasted area), the pasted part of the image outside the layer boundaries was cropped out.

However, I just updated to 2.10, and when I paste the image to the layer, the layer's boundary adjusts to the size of the pasted image.  I tried locking the layer, but then I can't paste into it.  Is there some setting to revert to the previous behavior??   I depended on the window/auto-crop behavior, which gave me exactly the size image I needed.

I can figure out how to take two images and paste them into a new image.

I opened both images along with a new image and tried pasting the 2 images into the new image.

Can someone please help me ?

Thanks.

Anyone familiar with GAP 2.7 and MPlayer on win 10?
Thanx

When I was on (K)Ubuntu 16.04 and sentenced to use 2.10 in a flatpak I found it too limited compared to the standard version, so since I plan to upgrade my 19.10 ot 20.04 before year end I just hacked my way to "full" Gimp-cum-Python support in a 20.04 VM, by adding required files copied from my 19.10. The final boss is having the Python console working (not killed that one yet).

   

Using an older version of Linux with an equally older version of Gimp?  Want to update Gimp but find the alternative flatpak / snap versions limited?

At the moment there are excellent portable Gimp 'appimage' versions. Downloadable from the Assets folder here: 

https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/

These work by making the file executable and running. More than adequate for occasional use but if you want to create a more permanent version,  the appimage can be unpacked.  That gives certain advantages, a little more flexibility.

That is the purpose of this demonstration video https://youtu.be/F1epWY5SYn0  duration 8 minutes. Shown in LinuxMint 19

The 2.10 release notes say:

Quote:Compositing options for layers are exposed to users now, and all layer-related settings are finally available in the Layer Attributes dialog.
