Hardness/size of brushes? |

Hello!
- Since upgrading, I find that every time I switch to one brush from another (i.e., default brush, circle, hardness 100, to same, hardness 25, or brush 'smoke') the new brush appears at its 'natural' size: 51px for the first two, and around 250 for the last. While in 2.8, the new brush opened at the same size that the one last in use...
- Contrairiwise, if I exit Gimp with default brush at 4px, on reopening, that particular brush is still 4px, while in 2.8 default brush opened alwys at 20px--one had to press the button 'reload default size' to put it at 51.
I suspect that I have missed some configuration option--particularly, there should be a way to switch between different hardnesses of the defualt brush without having the size changed as well.
Please, what am I missing?
Thanks!

Install scripts and plugins |

A recent post made me wonder how difficult it might be adding scripts and plugins to a Mac.
I use linux, just a hobby user but go way back to MS DOS, so not too frightened by typing in commands and using a terminal.
This is using a Mac OSX virtual machine, so I am as much a beginner as anyone who bought their Mac yesterday.
This video demonstrates that it is not too difficult adding those scripts and plugins. Shown with Gimp 2.10 since that is the future, Gimp 2.8 is no different, determine the Gimp profile from the Gimp preferences. I am sure that there will be other/better/more efficient ways, it is just a beginner demo.

Guides as a template |

Just wondering if you can have the centre guides as a template rather than setting up manually everytime I use Gimp. I have set up 12x 12 inch template but the guides never show...
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Transparency under Gimp2.10.6 |

Hello!
Having just upgraded from 2.8.14 to 2.10.6, I have met a surprise (for me) in working with painting tools on layers with wholly transparent pixels:
* under 2.8, choosing mode 'darken only', 'soft light', etc., the brush worked only over the already 'painted' pixels, skipping those with full tansparency--never painted or previously deleted.
* under 2.10.6, the effect on painted pixels is as expected, BUT tansparent pixels get filled as per mode 'normal'.
QUESTION 1: is this effect configurable? i.e., I cannot pretend to understand most of the new features--maybe I am missing something?
QUESTION 2: if it IS a new, unavoidable feature, HOW DO OTHERS FEEL ABOUT IT? I find it
* counter-intuitive: how do you lighten/darken WHAT ISN'T THERE?
* no end of a bore to lock transparency to change the color of a small spot (without bleeding out of the drawing), and then unlock to edit the boundary with transparency. In fact, it is almost as bad as editing a masked layer--endlessly checking/unchecking 'edit mask'.
On the other hand, some features (so far) are fine: loading time, memory load, BLENDING TOOL...
Any suggestions would appreciated. Thanks!
