Hi there all , I am trying to install fonts into Gimp using the likes of  Da font.Com and font river on a new desktop. I had no problems whatsoever when I was downloading on my laptop but it appears that they are not going in using the same process. Normally windows 10 opens up the file you press install and hey presto they appear in Gimp once you reopen it.

Any suggestions.

Hi, this is my first post and I hope it’s correctly written.

My ability to write scripts in Python Fu is very restricted, I have no other knowledge of “general” programing. I did adjust a .py plugin so that my workflow in GIMP 2.8.22 under windows 10 is a bit faster. It’s an automated version of “color to alpha”, name and function is “black to alpha”.

I would like to create a Plugin in Python Fu with interface: It should have PF_DIRNAME for the opening path, and one for the saving path.

Opening path should load all (.tga) files in the interface directory path folder and its subfolders. For each subfolder and its (.tga) files it needs to make .xcf and save this based on the name of the folder and then the subfolder in a selected saving path.

Example: folder name “Gimp” Subfolder name “01”= “Gimp01.xcf”, 
“Gimp01.xcf”, “Gimp02.xcf”, etc...

“Gimp01.xcf” needs to contain the (.tga) files from the subfolder and loads the lowest file number in the highest in layer.

Example: “image0000” and “image 0525” are in subfolder. “image0000” needs to be above “image0525” in the “Gimp01.xcf”

For each image per .xcf it needs to run “black to alpha”.

I hope this is possible with Python-Fu. And if I could get some guidance.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.22 on Mint Linux 19.  I have downloaded and unzipped ofn-text-along-path.py and have copied it to /home/barry/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to find it in GIMP. I think I've looked everywhere, so assume that I've missed some critical step in installing the plug in.  It does show up in the Plug-in browser as python-fu-ofn-text-along-path.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Barry

Right-click in the Paths toolbox, and at the bottom you'll see Tools |Text Along Path

I use the lasso tool to select the area I want to cut out. command+x and then the entire layer is deleted. 
any ideas on how to get just what I want to cut out?

That yellow dotted lined box is permanently surrounding the entire image- is that the problem? if so, how do I get rid of it? I've been editing other images no problems. so this just started happening and I have no clue what is different now.

Hi Guys,

For some reason, just a few of the fonts in GIMP are being displayed correctly. The rest are being shown without any style (no serifs nor cursive features). So far, I've tried:

• closing and reopening GIMP
  
• shutting down the computer completely and then turning it back on (instead of just restarting it)
  
• uninstalling the version of GIMP I was using (2.10.2) and installing 2.10.6
  

Bonjour,
Comment augmenter où réduire la taille du pinceau avec le défilement vers le haut où vers le bas avec la roulette de la souris.

Merci de votre aide à nouveau.

Hi,
Is there a way to lock a layers pivot point for Rotation? So you don't have to reset it each time you want to rotate, good for animation, character posing etc...

Not too long ago I upgraded from GIMP 2.8 to 2.10 (and now to 2.10.6) and now it seems that the Tool Snapping has stopped working.
It doesn't matter what kind of snapping I activate, none of them have a single effect on anything.
I've tried setting the Snapping distance higher, but it also didn't work.

I would appreciate any help.

Edit:
Snapping does still work, but the Snapping distance in the settings and the actual distance while editing aren't the same.
Setting the distance to 64 will result the actual snapping distance to be only 2 pixels.
The ratio of distance in settings and actual distance in editor is 32:1.

Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Bonjour,
Je voudrai activer le roulette de la souris pour modifier la taille d'une brosse, mais lorsque je vais dans "preferences" puis "périphériques d'entrées" puis "Contrôleur actif" et que je clic deux fois sur "Wheel mouse" rien ne se passe, pas de fenêtre active pour procéder à mon réglage souhaité.
Que faire ? 
Merci de m'aider SVP.
Cordialement

I have downloaded GIMP 2.10 (extension .exe).  There was no notice concerning installing it.  I double-clicked the exe downloaded file but it simply goes through the setup routine again. How can I installl the program now?
