OpenCL not working - hardware acceleration |

Recently I went ahead and confirmed whether OpenCL is actually working on my GIMP installation. It seems it doesn't. I've tested it on the non-legacy Photocopy filter as well as with Exposure adjustment, same as this bloke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVLjBa6Lqbk There is absolutely no perceivable difference in the performance with OpenCL disabled or enabled.
I've got fresh nVidia drivers, Geforce 660 Ti by MSI, AMD FX6300 (6-core 3.5 GHz), Windows 7 x64. So not having OpenCL in working condition is a huge waste.
What can I do to troubleshoot it? Now I realized OpenCL has was never working on my GIMP installs, even though I tried enabling it since early GIMP 2.9 times.

Newbie Tip: Crop layer to Content |

When I first began seriously exploring GIMP, I was dismayed, confused and frustrated to discover that small newly created objects that filled a small fraction of a layer were embedded in an entire layer, making it almost impossible to scale them. I finally noticed the CROP TO CONTENT option on the layer menu. So simple!
Watch tutorials. The time you invest watching them will be returned many times over by avoiding frustrating delays like I mention above.

xubuntu 18-04 - revert to GIMP 2.8, - URGENT |

Hi ! Using xubuntu 18.04, my system today had suddenly upgraded to GIMP 2.1x
I'm mostly using GIMP to cut, scale and save images for my web page, and using the save for web pluging all the time for evry image. It seems that the savee for web plugin is not supported under GIMP 2.1x.
Yes, I know that you can do the same operations with other tools, but it is far more work intensive and without the "save for web " plugin, I will have to eiter abandon gimp, or revert to previous gimp 2.8x version.
If you are an artist, the "save for web" pluging might not be vert important, but for me, using gimp for preparing images for my websigte, it is the most important feature.
After reading the forum, it seems that no one plans for making the save for web plugin work under 2.1x ??
so my question is: how to revert to the latest Gimp 2.8x and the save for web when running Xubuntu 18.04 and prevent gimp to be upgraded to never versions in the future ?
Just now, i dont have time to wait for somone fixing the save for web plugin under 2.1x so I need my 2.8x running asain ASAP :-)

Need help importing SVG from Inkscape to GIMP |

I'm having problems importing paths from Inkscape to GIMP. I've tried saving paths in Inkscape as both Inkscape SVG and plain SVG. When I open this saved SVG files as layers within an open GIMP file, the image appears, without nodes for editing. It's not recognized as a path.
I have discovered that either format remains editable if I open it as a new document in GIMP. However, all stroke parameters are stripped from the path. Stroke style and color import as a bitmap. If I alter the path, I must restroke in GIMP, hoping for the same effect.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to open this files as layers? Is there a way to retain stroke characteristics between apps?
Thanks in advance for any help.

how to drag a layer? |

We took two group pictures: 1 with me taking the picture (and me not in the picture) and a 2nd picture with me in the picture. I want to add myself to the first picture. So I have each picture in a layer. And I have made the top layer with me and made it mostly transparent so I can see the other people of the first picture. But there is a problem!
The 2nd picture was taken from a slightly different distance so the subjects appear bigger. When I add myself to the first picture, I look abnormally large as compared to the other people. My solution is to use Layer -> Scale Layer. With some trial and error about the size, it works great!
But the scaled layer is now centered on top of the lower layer. I wish to move the top layer (scaled) over to the side a little so that it is aligned with the left and bottom margins of the lower layer. How to do?
I tried using Layer -> Transform -> Offset, but the image in the layer is shifted within the layer but it loses content instead of shifting the entire layer in relation to the bottom layer.

Text tool misbehaving |

Hello:
I am working on an image and already have lots of text layers.
Now, when I try to add another text item it pops up as though I am editing a pre-existing text layer complete with the text and the message that it has been modified and I must choose between editing and creating a new layer.
This happens no matter where I click on the image with the text tool. And no matter what layer is selected, when I click with the text tool the pre existing layer is selected.
I want a new text item.
What have I done and how do I undo it?
Edit:
I have figured it out.
When I resized my canvas I resized all my layers to the canvas size. (Bad move)
So when I click on the canvas it thinks I am clicking on my text box.
I tried selecting the text and using 'crop to selection' but that didn't change the layer boundary.
I had to use the 'layer boundary size' dialog and enter width, length and resize.
