GIMP 2.8 text tool problem |

I am having trouble with GIMP text tool. Here is the info:
Version GIMP 2.8
OS Linux Mint
Problem: Unable to resize text. I:
1. Open GIMP
2. Create new image 12 X 16 inches with transparent background
3. Open text tool
4. Either copy / paste or type text into image
5. No problem changing font, etc
6. Attempts to change text size either on on image dialog box or on the tool bar have no effect. The changes in one place do not make a corresponding change in the other. The text size remains at the eye popping poster size of 16 pixels! (or corresponding size in other measures) Fortunately GIMP allows me to zoom in on the text so I can verify that it is actually there. It is.
I must be missing something.(That is why I provided a detailed step by step.) Any suggestions?

GIMP python script from command line |

Hi, first time caller - so go easy on me. 
I'm running GIMP 2.10.18 on Win7, trying to run a script from the command line using:
Code:
cd %~dp0
"D:\GIMP2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe" -idfs --batch-interpreter python-fu-eval -b "import sys;sys.path=['.']+sys.path;import myscript;myscript.run('./images')" -b "pdb.gimp_quit(1)"
The error I get is simply:
Code:
batch command experienced an execution error
(Type any character to close this window)
I tried to make the errors verbose with
Code:
sys.stderr = open('D:/temp/python-fu-output.txt','a')
sys.stdout=sys.stderr
...only to no avail.
I'm used to running and writing scripts for Photoshop so this is all new to me. Thanks for any help.

Hi, new to the forum,
Just tried to reopen a file on mac and 1 of the layers had completely disappeared. Is this a common issue? Any ideas? I've tried file recovery, checking layer groups and can't for the life of me figure this out.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I thought id be nice enough to introduce myself here, as I'm hoping to become a permanent resident on this forum.
My name is Dot, I'm from the Netherlands, from Groningen to be precise,!
like most women my age, I will refrain to enlighten you about mine for now 
have a wild guess id say
I first got to know of GIMP via SecondLife (yes it's still a thing) lol
Where I use gimp to make textures for products I create.
I'm a creative bit of a weirdo
at this moment I'm busy creating a personal website, I have had many sites over the years, but this is my 1st time actually paying for a propper domain and actually devoting my time to this! the site is about women with autism, and mostly about me, as everyone is different of course.
sofar I'm loving it! though here and there I'm running into small hurdles xD
and I'm sure I could benefit greatly being a member here,
love the look of this forum, not too huge to not find bank whats going on
See you on the forum!
Feel free to ask me anything, my life is an open book

Newsprint Options |

I am new and just downloaded Gimp. When I greyscale a photo then Filters, Distort, Newsprint I do not get the options to come up. It simply converts to the newsprint so I'm not able to set resolution, etc. I can't seem to find how to turn the options feature on. Hope someone can help me. Thanks much.
