| automating a filter |

I would like to create a series of images by systematically varying just one parameter of a filter (e.g., changing the X1 or X2 input to Fractal Trace). As a GIMP beginner, it appears to me that for each new image, I have to re-open my source image, make all the initial parameter selections, change the value of the selected parameter, and then export the image. Is there a way to automate this process or at least to minimize the number of manual inputs?

| Unwanted behaviour in Text layers |

I have noticed an annoying behavior with text layers. I have a project with several text layers. Now and again, when I try to move the vertical origin of the text in a layer by picking up the size bar at the top, all of my text resets to a very small size when I release the sizing bar. I have to then manually restore the text size it to the size it was (undo doesn't seem to work). Other formatting such as bold or font color is retained. I can't reproduce the issue at will, but wonder if it is related to text layers overlapping one another.

The current version is written that way because it takes less time to remove an extra guide (one click-drag) than to select an option in a dialog (one click to select the option, one click to confirm the dialog). And if you only need one or two guides, it can be faster to position them by hand, for the same reason... So if we are talking about the 4 usual guides around the layer I don't think adding choices would be a great improvement, but I'm open to discussion.
If we add center guides (with the caveat that there is no center point if the layer dimension is an odd number) then it starts to make sense to not generate everything, but what the choices should be?
- 6 check boxes, one for each possible guide
- 3 check boxes, one for each horizontal/vertical pair and one for the center guides
- 2 check boxes, one for the 4 outer guides and one for the two center guides (those can also be two distinct menu entries, since both would rarely be used together)
- other combinations
And before you ask, IMHO the layer by percent is an awful design or at least it can be useful only in a few edge cases that anyone can solve with a calculator application. I'm convinced than in most cases the user wants N equally spaced guides and this is what the script should work with.

| Paths Tool issues with Drawing Tablet |

Hello all,
When using the paths tool with a Veikk A30 drawing tablet I have been running into an issue where Im only able to make 3 to 5 nodes before my path just disappears. Mouse works fine when creating Paths (I've check the tablet settings and everything looks normal). I can start a path with the mouse then continue with the pen/tablet and it seems to work for a bit but if I change tools then go back to the path tool, it starts doing it again.
Any ideas? Thank you.

I know the feature that creates new guides at 50% of the image (horizontal and vertical) - Image - Guide - New guide (by percent).
How can I do this in layers?
I thank you in advance for your help.

| Error in running a simple unsharp mask batch processing script |
|

Hi all,
I'm trying to get this simple unsharp masking batch script to work. I have many .tif files, and I'd like to unsharp mask them in one go.
https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
I've made the scm file, copied it over into the scripts directory. This is the scm file content:
Code:
(define (batch-unsharp-mask pattern
radius
amount
threshold)
(let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1))))
(while (not (null? filelist))
(let* ((filename (car filelist))
(image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
filename filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
(plug-in-unsharp-mask RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
image drawable radius amount threshold)
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
image drawable filename filename)
(gimp-image-delete image))
(set! filelist (cdr filelist)))))
Next, I open command prompt, move to the folder with the images and run the following command:
Code:
gimp -b '(batch-unsharp-mask "*.tif" 5.0 0.5 0)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
Gimp does open up and all the tif files are opened one after another, but then gimp tries to load files named 5.0, 0.5 and 0. This results in an error message.
It says something like this:
Opening 'C:\Users\cxk340\for_gimp_processing\5.0' failed: No such file or directory
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

| Could someone send me the Liquid Rescale files? |

Could a considerate Linux user take the time to locate the files needed to make Liquid Rescale work, zip them up, and post them here so that I can use them.
My version of Gimp AppImage 64bit, ver. 2.10.17 "with plugins", doesn't seem to have Liquid Rescale. It says that it bundles that particular plugin with the app image I'm using:
AppImage site
but, it doesn't install itself. I'm hoping if someone is already using Linux, and using a 64bit machine, and happen to have a working version of Liquid Rescale, maybe they could pass along the plugin to help others.

| CD artwork |

HI
I'm trying to create artwork to be printed on a CD
The company doing the printing has given a template for the artwork, 118mm diameter with 15mm central hole
I've manage (eventually)to achieve circular artwork but have found it impossible to change the print diameter with any accuracy, all I can do is adjust the dimensions of the layer then measure the diameter of the circular artwork, its all trial and error and is really difficult without a centre spot to measure through, certainly not accurate enough to send to a printer
I really cant believe it is so difficult to create a circle of set diameter, surely there's a better way?

| Gimp 2.10.18 and fonts |

Hello, everyone.
For the users that are already using Gimp 2.10.18, I would like to ask you if you are now able to change fonts in any plugin or script that you use? I'm using an AppImage of Gimp at version 2.10.17 and don't have the ability to change fonts in any plugin or script that I use. Some of these include bevel reflect logo, neon-logo, and mike license plate.
I was just wondering if all of that was fixed in the latest version. Thanks.
