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)

My computer : Desktop, Windows 10 home 64b. V.20H4
My Camera : Sony 7 mark II
My Lenses :  All vintage primes.  No auto lens.
Image File :  All ways shoot RAW files.

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.

Have just installed Gimp 2.10.22.  Cannot find the button to change the interface language.  
Help, please.
Thanks.

I've recently gotten a new mouse, and it has two additional left and right inputs on the scroll wheel, which in Gimp, scrolls the image in the corresponding direction. A neat feature, though redundant in my use as I've grown very used to dragging my image around by holding down the middle mouse button. This wouldn't be an issue, except this mouse has a bit tougher of a middle click, and most of the time I try and click it, which is very often, I end up clicking the sensitive left and right inputs. This very frustratingly shifts my canvas over quite a bit whenever I go to move it. Is there a way to disable the left and right scrolling, or even remap those inputs to also drag the image? My apologies if this is an obvious solution, I haven't figured out how to do it in preferences, and under input controllers, I don't even see those commands mapped to anything.

I have several photographs that were taken of old blueprints where there was poor lighting and various levels of camera shake causing much of the text to be illegible. Many times the text appears as doubled with one set lighter than the other. I've tried playing with levels mostly and am having difficulty coming up with a process to enhance the text enough to be sure of the dimensions written. Mostly the fractions are hardest to pull out.

I really need some help. The original blueprints have been destroyed and these photographs are all that survive. It is very important to extract the information so that new drawings can be created.

Below is two different photograph snips of the same area on the blueprint.

Thanks Sandy

   

   

Trying to learn to manipulate paths better, so I got ofn-bend-paths installed and thought I had set everything up correctly. I have one image (paths) with the two strokes in it. 

   

The second image (bends) shows what I am trying to bend and the error.

   

Am I doing something obvious wrong?

Also it does not affect functionality at all, but "should" is missing an L in the error message.

Cannot get font "X-Files" to work in Gimp, tried:
Re-installing, reloading font, re-installing font.

The font shows up under list but is not the true font, pressing enter when selected does not switch it. Any solution would be appreciated.
