Long shadow with shapes |

Hello all,
I am a new GIMP user, with very little editing experience. I've used GIMP off and on for a while, but some of the concepts/terms still confuse me. I've mostly followed tutorials online to get my results.
I'm trying to use the Long Shadow light effects on some star shapes but can't get it to work. I have gotten it to work on text from a video I found, but I can't get it to work with the star brush. Unsure what I am doing wrong. Effectively I am re-creating this old Wonder Woman graphic
Thanks for any help you can give me!

measure/record pixel coordinates |

I was expecting that somehow when using measure tool I would be able to right-click on a pixel and have single pixel coordinates stored in the clipboard as a numeric string, so I can copy it to a text editor in order to create input for some other program. Is there a way to do this? Is there any other tool with the precise cross cursor that can be used in this mode?
TIA

Sudden crashes when opening file |

Came across a strange problem that just started today. After I open Gimp, if I try to open a file to edit from one particular folder, it crashes. If I try to open files from other folders, it works fine. I've always used this one folder to store files I want to edit, so not sure what the problem is. I deleted my Gimp user folder, then re-booted Gimp but that did not help. I'm using Gimp 2.6.11. Any ideas why this could be happening or how to fix it?

Brush/Gradient/Swatch sets vs singles? |

New switcher from PS here (CS.5), running on MacOSX 10.13 (I know, and old version, it has to do with my Windows BootCamp - long story). Point is, I'm a bit confused and want to be sure I'm understanding correctly.
In PS, things like brushes, gradients, patterns, etc. are stored as sets. So a brush file (.abr) or gradient file (.grd) might hold a dozen or more brushes, or elated gradients and so on. These can also be loaded dynamically, from any folder, from within PS.
From what I"m seeing, in order to use these kinds of add-ons in GIMP, I need to add them as single items? And they all get dumped in the application package itself? That seems....unwieldy at best?
I have roughly 3.5 GB of brushes, 250 MB of patterns, a hundred or so gradeint sets with as many as 10, 20, or more gradients each. Imagining trying to find what I'm looking for with everything individually sounds hellish, and I suspect it would slow things to a crawl.
I also keep these in my Dropbox Folder so they get updated as I add new things, and I can load them into Photoshop on any machine I'm working on. I'm guessing having GIMP itself reside on DB and be run from different machines would play havoc with the app, so how could I keep my resources up to date on multiple machines?
Am I just vastly misunderstanding how GIMP handles these resources? Halp! Thank you all!
