Some joy for linux flatpak users. (and some whinges from me)
Update your flatpak
Code:
flatpak update org.gimp.GIMP
Whinge no.1 - You get the Gimp manual. It is a big installation. Do I want it - no. I use either online or the pdf.
A list of the addons
Code:
flatpak install org.gimp
Very straight forward, select the one you want, (only one-at-a-time, you need to repeat the procedure for more) and it installs.
Whinge no.2 Resynthesizer for example, I remember installing that in an earlier flatpak with no problems at all, but it is welcome.
Whinge no.3 Again Resynthesizer, At best I use only two of the python plugins, heal-selection and occasionally heal-transparency. With this install you get the lot, 8 of them to clutter up the menu.
Whinge no.4 I want to remove the unwanted python plugins, go to Edit -> Preferences -> plug-ins. Where are they ? It says /app/.... Where ? I did find them eventually.
/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer/x86_64/2-3.36/ece209307f93889a3b75c31a809bd87b318ea42f014473f21b0a4604643c0b69/files/plug-ins/
However, for all,of that, the gmic plugin is there and for many linux Gimp 2.10.x users that is welcome.

| 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).

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.

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.
