I've used GIMP for more than a decade and after a computer refresh and re-installation I am having a few issues that I can't seem to get back to how they were. Most I am getting accustomed to but the one I cannot deal with is every time I change an image scale or crop, the actual GIMP program window crops down to that size, meaning I have to maximize the program constantly. Is there a setting that locks the full screen mode? I can't seem to find it nor any information about it happening to others when I search for resizing+window. Thank you in advance.  I am on Windows 10 Pro and using GIMP 2.8.22

I have a rather specific and esoteric problem, or at least I think so.

Ultimately, I want to generate a path from a set of points/vectors/contours via a gimp script. This path should then be copied onto a jpg (the original source of the points/curves/contours). The resulting image has to have the path we created visible and editable in Photoshop.

All of this happens inside a Linux server; I work in Java mostly. To be clear, this has to work via CLI.

My questions are:
1) Is this possible at all?
2) What do the parameters need to look like if it is?

What I found in my quest to solve this problem is the 8BIM path specification from adobe, but that's about all I have right now

I would be very grateful if someone can give me some pointers in the right direction

I think I did something wrong with " Preferences ", either that or something related to the system. Now when I cut a piece of the image, I get the background colour instead of chess boxes style pattern.

Everything was fine last day. Is there any option to fix it ? Thanks.

Hope you people remember how MacOS had 2 wallpapers, one for the day and other for the night. I was thinking whether both are the same. ie, they Photoshop ed the original image as the night wallpaper.

I was trying to learn how to make a day time image look dark as in the night. I tried Colour > curve and adding a layer with black colour ( opacity 50 ). While it seems ok, I am not happy with the result. How do we do that the right way ? Thanks.

PS : I am attaching a sample wallpaper I was working on.

I am coming from Clip Paint Studio and I would like to know everything about drawing Manga in Gimp. I would like a few brushes very similar to the ones Clip Paint Studio Provides?

Is that too much to.... Meow?

First, thank you for this product, I appreciate all the work that's gone into creating it.

With the latest update to Windows 10, version 1903, it's taking about 3:30 minutes for the Export dialog box to come up.

Hello!

You know Zoobka? The technique to make easily beautiful abstracts with various cool effects of lighting and matter.

The tutorial and samples of what you can do with it are there:

I'm using Gimp 2.10.14 in Windows and Ubuntu 18.04.

I am easily able to place the resynthesizer plugins into the proper plugin directory in Windows, and all the filters work fine.

Can someone explain to me why it isn't that simple in Linux, and why ?

P.S. 
Had trouble with Gmic as well, but after removing and purging snap and distribution installs I was able to get it working by installing both Gimp and Gmic via apt-get.

Resynthesizer via apt-get added some but not all functionality of the resynthesizer plugins namely the heal-selection filter is missing.

Again, same version of Gimp in both operating systems so why isn't as easy to facilitate the usage of these scripts in Linux..

Thanks....
