  Gimp 3.0.4 problem with window resizing after loading image
Posted by: mrstanlez - 08-21-2025, 07:33 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (1)

How to reply the issue ?

Linux tested: Debian, Arch Linux, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Linux Mint
Version: Gimp 3.0.4
Monitor: 4k LG(3820 x 2160)
Gimp window size: 1920 x 1080

If I click on large image for opening it in Gimp,it will open it of course.
But Gimp window will immediately resize itself to the image size.

Thank you.

  Toolbar selection inconvenience
Posted by: Tolinar - 08-20-2025, 07:19 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (4)

I created a forum identity specifically to complain about a tiny problem with the interface which frustrates the crap out of me.

If you click a button on the toolbox (to change tools), then move the mouse off the toolbox button without releasing the button, the tool doesn't change.

So, I'll click, for example, the eyedropper button quickly, but move the cursor off the toolbox before releasing

Then click the picture and put down a dot of color - because the tool didn't change.

Essentially - the interface ignores attempts to change tools if you don't both click-and-release over the control button.

This nuisance is easily reproduced and with the small size of the toolbox controls, probably introduces a lot of bother to people's operation.
I can understand canceling the selection when you hold the mouse button down to bring up the context menu...

but even if you click on a control and then smear over other controls before releasing the mouse, the control and intent is definitely on the Mouse button down operation.
This nuisance seems easy to fix. Please deal with it soon in a future version.

Hello

  Gimp 2.10 installation problem windows 11
Posted by: Henrymw - 08-19-2025, 07:08 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (3)

I have installed Gimp 2.10 on my Windows 11 on my laptop. 
I have installed several times, including once when I temporarily shutting down my avg system.
However I never have been able to get a 'complete' installation.
I can find this since when using Edit->Preferences->Folders I do not see all the folders that should be there.
I believe this problem is preventing things such as effective messages from the python 2.7 scripts I am working on.
How can I get a complete installation?

Exclamation Python "no return values, shouldn't happen"
Posted by: Nathan - 08-18-2025, 09:55 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (6)

I'm creating a python script to load a custom image format (.PRS with the magic string "YB").  But I'm having trouble getting even a skeleton file loading plugin to work.  This is what I've been able to reduce my code down to:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import gi
gi.require_version('Gimp', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gimp, GObject
import sys

load_proc = "file-prs-load"
plugin_binary = "file-prs"

class PrsLoader(Gimp.PlugIn):
   def do_query_procedures(self):
       return [load_proc]
   
   def do_create_procedure(self, name):
       procedure = None
       
       if name == load_proc:
           procedure = Gimp.LoadProcedure.new(self, name,
                                               Gimp.PDBProcType.PLUGIN,
                                               self.PrsLoad, None)
           procedure.set_menu_label("PRS image")
           procedure.set_attribution("Nathan", "Nathan", "2025")
           procedure.set_menu_label("PRS image")
           procedure.set_documentation("Loads files of PRS file format",
                                       "Loads files of PRS file format",
                                       None)
           procedure.set_mime_types("image/prs")
           procedure.set_extensions("prs")
           procedure.set_magics("0,string,YB")
       return procedure
   
   def PrsLoad(self, procedure, run_mode, file, metadata, flags, config, run_data):
       print("PrsLoad called")

       #Return dummy image for now
       image = Gimp.Image.new(100, 100, Gimp.ImageBaseType.RGB)

       return_vals = procedure.new_return_values(Gimp.PDBStatusType.SUCCESS, None)
       val = GObject.Value(Gimp.Image.__gtype__, image)
       return_vals.append(val)

       return return_vals

Gimp.main(PrsLoader.__gtype__, sys.argv)

When I try to open a PRS image file, I get the following errors:
Code:
GIMP Message
Opening '/home/nathan/Pictures/tree2b.prs' failed:

Code:

 Gimp.main(PrsLoader.__gtype__, sys.argv)

I'm not too worried about the localization messages at this time.

  Vector Layers - Coming Soon
Posted by: rich2005 - 08-18-2025, 11:20 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (4)

In the latest Gimp 3.1.3 (appimage) are vector layers, so they will be in Gimp 3.2 when it comes along.

You can make your own path and apply a fill and stroke which remains editable. You can apply transformations - just remember to work in paths mode. 

Path Tool Options looks like this:

Question Need help Converting an Images Colors to the closest one in a palette
Posted by: Aminivibrio - 08-16-2025, 04:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

So I am developing a video game which uses a built-in color palette similar to old MS-DOS games. Because of this, I need a program that will convert all the colors in an image to the closest color in a given color palette. Unfortunately, my game's color palette has more than 256 colors (around 2000), so I can't just convert all the images I want to turn into sprites to indexed mode. The best method I've found so far is to use the Select by Color Tool and manually convert every color in the image to match my palette. Does anyone know a way to convert images to a color palette instantly besides indexed mode?

Is there a sample file with many (or all) default fonts I can look at? For example, the same phrase--Hello, World!--is rendered in a number of fonts?

Exclamation Constant Crashing
Posted by: shadowman247 - 08-14-2025, 09:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have linked the crash report. Essentially, every time I try to make and edit text, the whole app just crashes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. Sometimes it happens when I am changing the window size, i.e., going full screen, and other times it works and then crashes when picking a color or changing a text setting. Super random. Any help would be great! I put the crash report in a Google Doc as the text limit had been reached. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
