My plugin performs a bunch of operations on dozens of large images which takes several minutes and only uses a single thread.

I'm wondering if there's a way to write code in the plug-in to allow for multithreading, e.g. by telling Gimp to open more instances of itself or any other way.

Is that possible?

Hi, today I used gimp for the first time in a while, and for some reason when I try to cut a part of a layer, instead of just making the part disappearing like it used to, it turns the part white.
Left is what I want to do, and what I was used to, right is what I'm getting.

Anyone knows why it does that and how to fix it ?

Hallo Admins

Using python-fu, is there a way to list the layer names of an xcf file without loading the whole file?

Right now I list them like this:

Hello! Newcomer here. I have two GIFs (let's say A.gif and B.gif) both with an equal amount of frames, but their size is different. They need to be interleaved: A-Layer1 -> B-Layer1 -> A-Layer2 -> B-Layer2 and so on.

How do I achieve this? There seems to be no automatic option from what I can tell, but there has to be. Is there something I'm missing? Or do I need a plugin for this?

I'd do it manually, except working with 1152*2=2304 layers... oof. It's actually making my computer lag at points, making doing it manually feel even more awful than it otherwise would've been.

EDIT: OK, I may be stupid, I did see ofn-interleave-layers as a google result, but misread what it does, though it could only interleave copies of one layer between the image layers. And its documentation ALSO lists how to change image size with canvas commands without scaling.

I'm leaving this thread in case someone else needs it, I've seen enough "nevermind, figured it out" online to want to leave a tip. I haven't tested the script YET, but it should work.

When i want resize image to format 800 x 800 px from 16 x 16 px what do i must do? I opened image that naturally is 16 x 16, and i just want to make it bigger and keep resolution. I tried to make minecraft dirt block to be in 800 x 800 format. 
And when i resize it to 800 x 800 this happens: 
What i need to do is to have same image in 16 x 16 and sam image in 800 x 800. Im sorry for this coplications but im starting with gimp.

I wonder why a do not get a sharp result when erasing with a brush and get a dark contour when turn the brush 90 degrees. The working layer is transparent. In the middle there are two brushes drawn with the pencil tool. On the left the one brush is turned 90 degrees and there is a dark boundary around it. When I use both brushes to erase a line, then erasing is not pixel sharp.Do I miss something or is it a bug? Thanks for your answer in advance.

I am trying to add an arrow pointer onto a picture (and plan to do a lot). I have added a png of the arrow, which I know has a transparent background, to a second layer. I have tried to set it up as a mask, but dont understand the finer details - it just stays as a complete rectangle. NB: Have successfully re-sized it & am trying to rotate it. I am new to GIMP, but IT competent.

Greetings Folks, 

I just re-installed GIMP 2.10.22 (rev 3.0) on brand new Mac M1 Mini. I've noticed that when I use the rectangle or ellipse tool, - I draw the shape. Then I attempt to use the "bucket fill" to colour the shape in, but the outline of the shape that was once visible is now INVISIBLE. So you can actually see where the shape is on the canvas, and your guessing as to where it went. 

I'm not sure if this is a setting somewhere, or a bug ? or ? 

Anyone have any ideas ?  - I'd greatly prefer not going back to illustrator. 

Best Wishes,

I wanted to paste some image from google with invisible background (like this) onto another image, but it just doesnt work, it isn't transparent. [url=https://previews.123rf.com/images/kolibrico/kolibrico2002/kolibrico200200005/139369246-vector-empty-transparent-background-vector-transparency-grid-seamless-pattern-.jpg][/url]
