Add Nodes to Path |

I wanted to add 'sea currents' to a map, as in the figure:
It could be done in Inkscape through 'markers', but I wanted it as a purely 'stroke path'--better for small, indexed images.
As can be seen, I succeeded trough the following steps:
- oriented paths made in Gimp
- export them to svg, and open in Inkscape
- Inkscape Extensions -> Modify Paths -> Add Nodes... -> By max. segment length = 30.0px
- import the modified paths into Gimp, and:
- * ofn-path-edits -> Disjoin strokes
- * ofn-path-to-shape -> Functions on segments -> Modify segments -> Start=0, End=50
- * manually edit 2 of the segments in the resulting paths (it should be evident which ones would need adjusting)
- * path-arrow-heads at ends...
In view of the results, I think that the 'Add Nodes to Path' would be a likely addition to the Gimp path toolbox ( do you hear, Ofnuts?). Besides the use above and its variants, it also can improve the result of ofn-bend-path for squarish fonts with few control points--enabling still more "Bendiness" (I have a 'borderline' example somewhere).

Add ons for gimp |

I have gimp 2.10 on my google pixel book (Chromebook). I would like to add additional brushes, some presets and maybe filters and overlays.
I have been able to download brushes, but cannot figure out how to get the brushes from downloads into gimp.
Any guidance would be apppreciated.

Guide to Ofnuts Paths |

I have just updated the epub "Guide to Ofnuts Paths" at the same download link.
Any comments are welcome.
Caveat: I fully intend to maintain the guide and add others on non-path topics (if only for my personal use). Unfortunately, my working fits come as (bipolar) batches, so I can easily get behindhand with the update... or do it and not put an announcement in the forum.

Quick control of UI layout? |

Hi all,
I use GIMP 2.8 for a variety of things, but lately I've been using it as a virtual whiteboard for remote training sessions.
In that mode, I set up a white-background canvas that's the same size as my screen, and set the user interface to:
full screen
1:1
100% zoom
canvas centered
no menubar
no statusbar
no scrollbar
no rulers
Then I just hit tab when I want to take control of things (which is pretty rare, since mostly I'm just using a pen)
The problem I'd like to resolve is that every time I start GIMP, or open a new "page" (i.e. new image) it defaults to a point where I have to set each of those things all over again, and seemingly one at a time.
Can I simplify this configuration? Two possible approaches came to mind:
1) perhaps there's a way to configure the defaults mode in which GIMP starts, and that addresses these, or most of these, things?
2) Could I do this from a script? I know nothing about GIMP's scripting language, but I'm a programmer, so it shouldn't be beyond me to work that out with some hints and reference material.
TIA,
Toby
