Just curious if batch exporting (without being a programmer) is going to be in the 3.0 update. It seems there are no "simple" solution now, "for years in linux". The single greatest blockade to using linux/ open-source in the realm of 2d support for visual effects, 3d, and video editing with a 2d support application is "batch exporting/ batch editing." Various solutions always seem to be some remote github download that ends up being a very difficult process to configure (above a normal persons ability). It would be AMAZING to be able to "batch export images inside of gimp." If there is a way that is "simple" and internal to Gimp or any 2d app available to linux I can't seem to find it. 

So very grateful for any and all open source software, as it is making the world a better place but this one feature is a massive show-stopper for me to convert over to linux and open source software. Been waiting and search on this for a long time.

Any support would be deeply appreciated. Not complaining, just hoping with fingers crossed.

I'm in the process of designing scroll saw patterns from original photos of my three brothers using Gimp.
I need larger glimspe of their faces to ensure the best cut lines for the pattern.
Here's where I am asking for your assistance....
When I desaturate the photo I then proceed to go to Filters/Artistic/Photocopy (legacy) then voila a small preview
Photocopy 4"X4" window pops up. This size preview is difficult to get a good visual of the whole face.
I really need a larger shot of the face to design a quality scroll saw pattern.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

if I save an transparent image as png it appears correctly on the Web.
How can Iget this image as jpg-image?

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I am creating a path over an image but when I try to export the path as in the video below I do not see toved mhe export option

Thanks for your help

Think I have sorted it there is a path tab on the right hand side I need to click first

Can I export an image without the JPEG quality menu appearing every time? Now when exporting I have to click export three times: 'File/Export As', 'Export' (fill in file name) and 'Export' (choose JPEG quality). For a faster workflow I want to skip the last one (if possible)

I tried to port Elsamuko National Geographic to Gimp 2.99.19 (this filter works on 2.10 Compat OFF)... but I get a complete Gimp crash.

I think it's the line:

When I try to import a png image with transparency, the checkers in the background remain there and not see through. I have tried right clicking the layer and adding "add alpha channel" and also doing layer>transparency>add alpha channel but it remains the same.

This is more of a Linux question than a GIMP question, but since I first noticed this in GIMP I thought I would start here.

Using Kubuntu 22.04 and GIMP 2.10, I do not have the ability to use the  spacebar to pan the canvas.  This began when I first installed GIMP 2.10 in Kubuntu 22.04.  This also affects Adobe Photoshop in a virtual Windows client.  With previous versions of Ubuntu I had no problems with the spacebar in this context.


Have you come across this issue before, and/or what might be causing it?

I can't use the updated versions of GIMP; they are totally USELESS; they are incapable of preserving or manipulating transparency in images. Please refer to attached image, "Missing.png." There's supposed to be an interface there that details selection dimensions. It USED to be there, but I accidentally undocked it, and I can't get it back. If I can't restore this functionality, I will be forced to abandon using GIMP...and I have no other application that will fit the bill. My preferred version is GIMP 2.6.11. I've tried resetting values in Settings to default, but that worked for CRAP; the interface is still deficient.

I can think of only ONE solution, and it is unacceptable: Perform a clean reinstall of my OS, and reinstall all my preferred programs. this is RIDICULOUS. Help is no damned help whatsoever.

EDIT: I'd add text to the image to further explain the problem presented, but GIMP is totally screwed on my computer, now.
