| Parametric brush |
|

I made a parametric brush by using brush editor. It was named "untitled" automatically. So, I changed the name to "starFrDtc". Then I refreshed the brush lists.
Here is the issue. I went to the folder for the brush in the terminal. Its name was still "untitled". I restarted my ubuntu system. Its name is still "untitled".
How do I change the name really?

Some notes and observations for ubuntu users, in particular 'buntu 16.04 'xenial'
Installing flatpak (All done in a Kubuntu 16.04 VM)
add a flatpak ppa, update and install
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak
also might be needed is:
Code:
flatpak remote-add --from gnome https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome.flatpakrepo
Once that is done, look at https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ for some directions on installing the gimp flatpak. This works, it does ask for confirmations / root password when appropriate.
Code:
flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
Takes a little while but when finished open a terminal and execute the command flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
and Gimp should start as: screenshot https://i.imgur.com/NdAGX4I.jpg
You do not want to be using a terminal all the time. There is a launcher org.gimp.GIMP.desktop in
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/current/active/files/share/applications
I could not get that to work for me, so used the stanza from it, to make a new launcher.
Code:
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gimp-2.10 --file-forwarding org.gimp.GIMP @@u %U @@
Do not ask me why, but it works.
The Gimp profile and some peculiarities
Looking in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-ins for example, the paths Gimp starts with:
![[Image: cIFBK8Z.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/cIFBK8Z.jpg)
However, Gimp also creates a more regular Gimp profile ~/.config/GIMP/2.10 and seems to prefer that. You will need to add that to the various resources paths.
My advice, neither are convenient. If you mess with Gimp resources a lot, make your own folders somewhere in your home partition and add to the Gimp paths. As this example, changed the theme, icons, added some folders in home.

What works (and does not work)
I think many scripts and plugins will work out of the box. I tried resynthesizer and heal selection - all working. As an example, another compiled plugin, guillotine-into-layers then a script grid-of-guides and Ofnuts bend path python plugin.

What does not work (easily)
I was disappointed when my FFT plugin failed. That needs libfftw3.so.3 files. Another was the g'mic plugin, not even the QT version but GTK.
This involves a bit of gentle hacking, very tedious to track down dependencies and then you will need to put them as root in:
/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.28/some-long-string/files/lib
Nothing like making it easy for the poor user  Another peculiarity, all the files there are rwxr-xr-x (chmod 755)
Did I get gimp-g'mic working? Most of it.

If you have tried out the Gimp flatpak, and have any tweaks and hacks, please post a follow up with your experiences.

| Gimp 2.8.22 (Scripts, etc. won't load (Mac OS X) |
|

Using Mac OS x Yosemite 10.10.5. Downloaded and installed 2.8.22 after first removing 2.8.14.
1. Filter drop down menu shows no filters
2. Have tried to load scripts (e.g. FX Foundry) and plug-ins (Beautify), among others, several different times. Have done so both through Gimp Preferences and directly into the correct Application Support subfolders (e.g. "Scripts, "Plugins") but none appear in any drop down menu in the app itself.
3. Have no "Refresh" button anywhere in the Preferences Scripts or Plugin folders in this version, only "Reset" (reset to default vs. refresh).
Have spent hours troubleshooting. Any help/ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

| Dimension between layers, select layers. |

Hello everyone,
I have 2 question:
1. Is it possible to measure the distance between layers, similar like in Invision? If not, how can I check eg distance between paragraphs? http://ifotos.pl/z/qnaexrw
2. Is it another option to select layers? Because now I'm using Move but, sometimes, if a layer is small, I have a problem with choosing a specific layer. maybe I can mark it in some other way?
Thanks!

| Saves Earlier Version of JPG Not Current Version |

I've been having a persistent problem for an hour now -- I edited an image, yet when I save it, an earlier version of the image gets saved. It saves the correct version as an xcf file, as a png file but just refuses to save the correct version as a jpg. I tried changing the name, the location where I am saving, closing and reloading Gimp, closing and reopening the photo folder ... nothing works. I need to upload as a jpg, unfortunately.
Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.
