Hi. I'm trying to do something that seems pretty simple, but I'm not sure if it's possible to do in GIMP at all, but I really hope so.

I have an image "file.jpg". I open it with GIMP, then I go to "File", then "Export As...", I choose "DDS image" (there're two ones, I select the first one, I don't know if/how they differ from each other). Then I use the settiongs (I choose the compression - BC1/DXT1, other options are default):

(Sorry, my picture isn't vissible. It's on https://imgbox.com/YVoUTMfS)
After exporting I get "file.dds" picture.

So, I have a directory which contains several subdirectories each of which contains several *.jpg pictures similar to "file.jpg" (all picture are 512x512, but I think it doesn't matter). All what I need is to export all these *.jpg images to *.dds format ang get the results the same as if they were received if I exported them manually one by one as I've written above. The all exported *.dds file should have names the same as its input *.jpg files. Also, it would be nice to delete all input *.jpg files after conversion.

 I've seen some scripts for GIMP, but they look pretty difficult for me, I've never used GIMP before. Maybe there's a simple way to do it in Windows command-line CMD. (Also, I could make such conversion on Linux if it will be easier, than on Windows, although my laptop with Linux isn't so powerful). Also, I've installed BIMP and tried the "Batch Image Manipulation Plugin", but I havent found the *.dds format for exporting...

Hi, all,
I tried to post a new thread, but I can't attach any more images. For what ? Should I delete images that have already been published ?

This question pertains to Windows installations in general.  I'm having a problem when running different versions of GIMP on the same Windows computer.  It appears to me that the same Preferences are being used no matter what version of GIMP I might choose to run.  This is causing a problem when I might want to have different preferences apply to different versions of GIMP.  For example, when using plugins it is desired to associate the plugin version being used with the version of GIMP being used but that does NOT seem to happen.

On Windows one might expect that storing Preferences in the registry rather GIMP specific files would have this affect.  However, I haven't been able to find anything in the registry that looks like GIMP preferences.  Same applies to standard file locations such as those located within the AppData folder.

Is there a way to edit udim textures in gimp?

Hello again everyone!

Believe it or not I am trying to learn GIMP on my own but I still struggle with simple things.

I would like to go from this

   

to this
   


and save 120 image frames from Tron1 to Tron2.

I am certain that it can be done with some of ofnuts' scripts but I could not get what I wanted

Thanks!

After reviewing one of my indi books, I want to increase the spine width from .835"/21.21mm to 0.880"/22.35mm in my Gimp 2.10.36/Windows11. I am reusing my original book template so the only change required is the spine size (more pages in the new edition). How can I best do this in Gimp? Step by step would be good. 
Secondly when I open a template image as a PNG in Gimp, how can I view its actual size?  Thanx, Stusamuso.

I am a small church secretary who is relatively new to GIMP. I need to create an overlay of text on a transparent background to place over a photo. In short, I use a photo of a baptism to  create the certificate of baptism for the individual, so I need to create this transparent layer with the basic text that can be altered with each individual. Not sure if I'm making sense. Can anyone help?

I have updated GIMP (Panda Jim) to 2.10.38.
Is it possible to update the Appimage loader to correspond? (gimp2-10-36-python2-mm-Ubuntu.Appimage)

I have tried extracting the Appimage, but could not see where to make the necessary changes.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, but with the Unity desktop. Is it possible to upgrade this to 22.04 (or 24.04) whilst retaining Python 2.7?

Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

Good Evening,

So this is an odd thing, i'm looking at assisting my wife with her crafts, she is huge into paper crafts at the moment and we finally got her a Cricut and we have been fiddling with using the machine to do her cuts and scoring happy days. Problem is that we use Inkscape to break down the PDF's to do what we need and sometimes the PDF's come over as a single image instead of a properly grouped image that we can manipulate. Is there anyway to use gimp to split out the PDF's. I found a way in Inkscape but it involves breaking the entire image down into a bit map and mapping/ grouping the entire file node by node... any hep would be amazing.
