I am running MacOS Ventura 13.7.1 on iMac 21.5" Model 18,1 with 8GB DDRAM.

I had installed 'unstable' version 2.99.18 prior to installing version 3.0 earlier this week. I had no problems opening psd, png, & jpg file provided they were located on my internal HD.  External HDs will not be recognised by either GIMP version.

Today, I downloaded the GIMP Plug in 'Resynthesizer' for GIMP 2.  Following the 'Davies Media Tutorail', I installed the expanded .tgz files into the appropriate Application Support/Gimp 3.0 folders.

Since installing Resynthesizer Plug in, neither GIMP 3.0 nor 2.99.18 will open the above 3 file types, on each attempt displaying Gimp Warning windows stating "Unknown file type".  A cumbersome 'workaround' has been to open the files in Graphic Converter Ver. 9, copy all (of the file on screen) and then switch to GIMP and use the 'file/open/create from clipboard' command to create a new .xcf file.

I have checked that the necessary file-ico, file-png, file-jpeg, file-psd files etc. are in the plug ins folder.

I will be grateful for any advice members may offer me.  My email is <sylvia1913@rtutamail.com>: I don't know how to replace/update my member profile to negate the redundant gmail address which no longer works (another good one, Google!) 

Sincerely, Ranger1951.

Just for fun, a mockup membership card.
You can download the .xcf and change layers to your liking.
UID is actual uid on gimp-forum just prepended with zeros for fun.

First shot at the Gimp3 conversion of ofn-layer-tiles

Some difference with the Gimpv2 version (most notably works with multi-selected layers) so make sure you read the doc.

See here.

Enjoy.

I recently had to process many photos for one of my websites.

I decided to write a plug-in to allow me to export in three different sizes - original, website size, and thumbnail.
Also to give meaningful names to the photos and save them in a designated folder and sub-folders.
If there are multiple photos with the same root name a suffix is incremented.

So for luddites like me, who are still using GIMP Python 2.7 plug-ins, here is the file.
It may prove useful to someone, either in it's present form or after modification.

Tested in Linux, hopefully will work in Windows.

David.

This thread is for questions and comments on my GimpHelper module to make writing plugins a bit easier by:

• keeping the boilerplate code to a minimum
  
• doing some housekeeping (undo groups and error catching)
  
• allowing as many checks as possible in an IDE to reduce the debug times in Gimp
  
• helping your IDE do useful code completion
  

Would it not be useful that the "Trusted members" by reporting a spam whatever a comment or an user (nothing else, just the "Spam" option in the "Report" button), those are "on hold" or flagged as spammer and cannot be visible until Admins have a look at it?

I mean today.... pffff, that " Temu " sh!t everywhere  

   

IMHO denying an IP is not really working if they use a VPN or live in India, Indonesia, etc...  

Also while I'm here, I have a question, if we report a "user/member" spammer, do we need also to report all their spam threads?
I'm asking because today I don't feel to click on each and every single spam they posted, I did report the users, though  

Hi, Inexperienced Gimp user here.    Where exactly is the Bucket "Fill Threshold" slider?  I see it in the Bucket Fill tool options in some Youtube videos but don't see it in the similar options screen in my system. 

A screenshot of what I see is attached as "gimp_no_FT.png"

A screen capture of a youtube video showing it is "youbube.png" (sorry, fuzzy).

What am I missing/confused about?

Thanks for any help.

I'm looking into creating a plugin for GIMP, but what I want to do is basically create a compass tool. Where you choose a vertex, radius and angle to draw an arc.

it would be nice to select the plugin, left click on a vertex. then left click and hold to select distance and draw the arc. (sorry if im not great at explaining what im trying to do, if youve ever used a compas on paper then you probably know what I mean)

it would be more intuitive (and less work on my end, in theory) if I could just utilize the GIMP draw space rather than have to code basically a second canvas to draw the arcs then render them to the image. 

Is this something that is possible?

The only permanent link to a new appimage i could find is from the Artifacts page.
Look for a gimp-debian-x64 with 4 files and click the folder on the RHS. Then 'build' then 'linux'.

The team are pretty happy with it for good reason. It's the current state of the Gimp3 source code and its had many AppImage issues solved.
So far it's working on most Linux distros.

I find gnome gimp on Gitlab confusing because I haven't studied how to use it.

I've tried running the installer for G'MIC, as well as the zip version and manually extracting it (it's in it's own folder) to the plug-ins folder, but I can't get it to show up in the filters menu. I'm using GIMP portable version 2.10.38 on Windows 11. I've used plugins in the past without issue. I'm also using one of the two plug-ins folders that show up in preferences/folders.  Anything else I can try? 
Doing some reading, I've seen other people having trouble with it because of some DLL's it needs that aren't included.
