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

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?

Ok so I just installed 2.10.06. I don't know which version I was using earlier and it hasn't been for a while, it seems part of the tool box that used to pop up on the right is gone. Still that way with this version. Is there a way to restore?

Also the default colors are now gray. Don't care for this back  ground. Is there a way to change that?

I'm sure there will be many more questions forthcoming.

Thanks

My first attempt at trying to modify an actual Python script.

I have taken the Uncrop script of Lloyd Konneker and modified it (using the Bluefish Editor) so that it "uncrops" on the left-hand side.
I was able to register this as uncrop-side1.py.

My next step was to add another slider so that I could specify the sample-width for the resynthesizer. However, all my attempts to register this as uncrop-side2.py have come to nothing!

I am obviously making a stupid mistake, but several days of searching has not helped. If someone could point out my obvious error it would be much appreciated.

I have substituted the appropriate parameters into uncrop-side1.py (without re-registering) to "uncrop" right, top and bottom, and that all worked. The intention was to add an additional PF_OPTION or PF_RADIO to select the side to uncrop and then re-register it under a suitable name. The end result will probably be of little value, but a useful education for me!

Attached are the two files - uncrop-side1 - (working) and uncrop-side2 - (not registering).
