Since upgrading to Gimp 2.10.2 on both my computers, I'm confused by my "Export As" window.  

How do I choose a file tyle extension?  The + sign to the left of "Select File Type" seems to do nothing.  

When I click the "All export images" button I get very few options:



Then when I click the Export button usually nothing happens (whether or not I leave the extension unchanged in the Name field; in other words if I manually change it to PDF from the pre-loaded PNG extension); occasionally I do get the next window to confirm export options.

Ack! I hope this is fixable, or I'll need to downgrade to an older version.

My scanner no longer appears in the
File|Create...|Scanner/Camera|Select Source 
window on one of my computers (32bitWin8.1Pro).  

It does appear on my other (32bitWin7Pro) computer.

Gimp 2.10.2 is on both computers.
The scanner appeared before I upgraded Gimp to a recent version.  The scanner is an all-in-one and it prints so I know both my OS' recognize it.

Some dude posted this effect on reddit:

How would you recreate this colorful 3D extrusion in Gimp ?

Here's my take

An error pops up when I try to save or export a new pixel art creation. I've tried to save and export in multiple user folders, but it didn't work.

Hey i use gimp quite often and i hate it has not the correct bluring calculation.
there should be a new blur style that would be colour correct.

please check minutephysics video, they explain so good.

Recently, I've been having troubles with GIMP.
I've used the program for upwards of about 1-2 years now, and this issue just appeared.
To start, I run Windows 10 (and have since it came out). I used the 2nd newest major version of gimp (white theme by default) but just recently updated to 2.10 (dark theme by default).

I can open up gimp and it will work perfectly; until I do literally ANYTHING (create a new image, apply an effect, open a menu, etc...)
When I was using the older version of GIMP, this would only sometimes happen, and only when I saved or exported an image. Now, this happens 100% of the time.

I did some research; it looks like the solution, if any, can be different for everyone. Any help would be appreciated! 

This is what I've tried so far:
-Restarting laptop (no duh...)
-Updating GIMP ( 2.x => 2.10)
-Uninstalling & installing GIMP
-Increasing priority in Task Manager

Nothing seems to work.

If you have a solution to this problem or are experiencing the same thing, please let me know ASAP.

Thank you.

Hey all,

I've recently downloaded the latest version of GIMP (2.10) since I've used the program before and have a new project I need it for. My device I've installed it on runs on windows 8.1 pro. The export function are not working. The steps I follow it are as follows. 

1. File > Export as
2. Select the desired destination 
3. Choose my file format (in my case *.tif, *.tiff)
4. Export

After this it's like my pop up window freezes. I cannot click anything else on the window and the only way I can close the window is by pressing the red x in the top right. There is no other window that pops up giving me further export options.  

Can someone please help.

I can't seem to find *anywhere* how to make editable vertical text fields. I keep an archive of templates that have vertical text fields that have to be updated with each use (example: a book cover or DVD cover template will have a vertical text field for the spine title). the options I find all end up with a rasterized layer rather than an editable text field. HELP!!

I want to use gimp full-time & ditch photoshop, but until I can figure out this problem, I'm stuck with photoshop.

Thank You,

This is a remake of a video from 4 years ago demonstrating the gmic interactive foreground filter.

Really easy to use, generally gives good results first time, sometimes a little erasing or cloning touch-up required.

Goes to sleep (black screen) on me if I look away for a minute or go for a walk. Wasn't doing it a week ago. I have changed power options to never and back to 60 mins etc. Watched a couple of YouTube vids, done a hack and it is still doing it.
I went to the windows page but you have to register there to ask a question!

I think my pc updated again a couple days ago because when I went to shut it down I only had the option of 'update and shut down' so I put it on hibernate. (I figure it updated during the day while on hibernate because the option is not there any more).

Someone mentioned to stop windows from forcing updates on you. How do I do that?


Any way I assume it is my OS that is the problem not my computer?
