Hey, I'm working on making repeating patterns right now and I'm trying to use the paths tool for this purpose. I want to be able to make paths that are mirrored or otherwise composed of identical path segments that have been transformed (rotated or flipped) but identical in shape, and still joined. This seems to me like it should be a simple process but I cannot find a way to do it. I know one can copy whole paths and transform those, but then I don't know how to cleanly rejoin them to the original path. Is there a reliable way to do this in Gimp? Do I need a plugin? Or should I just be using a different program? I'm on 2.8 at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Gimp supports svg file format. I downloaded some gradients, which is svg file format. I placed it in the folder I specified in the preference dialog for gradients. Then I restarted gimp and refreshed gradients.

Nothing happens. Nothing is easy really. How do I make it appear in the gradients list?

I am trying to make a custom image using the background of a vmod. Apparently the only decent image you can get of this board game that is not a screenshot of it as it lay on your table is from here.

But its a vmod file. I have no idea what this is. But all i want is it converted to some form of an image file to use as a background to add things to in gimp.

I have googled around but i cant seem to find anything related to converting it to a png or jpeg. GIMP doesnt seem to be able to open it up as is either. I am also on linux. I searched and it is some form of a video file. Is there a way to take a frame from that video file to make an image that is png?

A "Gimp version" field has been added to the user profile. You can edit your profile and set that to your usual Gimp version. This information is displayed in your "postbit" next to your posts.

I selected a part of an image using rectangular select tool. I did shift+R to rotate the selected part. I adjusted parameters in the rotate dialog box appropriately. I chose the selection in tool option. Finally I clicked the rotate button in rotate dialog box. The result is only rotating the marching ant not the image itself. I don't understand.

To make it work, I did all things above paragraph except I chose the layer in tool option. This time the selected part of the image rotated as I adjusted in the rotate dialog box. However the rotated image is cut off the outside of originally selected area. I don't understand.

How do I resolve this issue?

Hi buddies, I'm new on the forum. I'm from Spain so sorry for my English.

Today I update GIMP 2.8.22 to 2.10.0 but when I start it shows me some errors while it's loading for checking new complements.

The first one is about the plugin Save for the web (webexport.exe), I deleted it from C:\Users\xxx\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins but anyway show me the message error, "The application can't start correctly (0xc000007b). Really I full deleted this folder C:\Users\xxx\.gimp-2.8

The second is about the plugin G'MIC (gmic_gimp_qt.exe). GIMP message error says "Doesn't found the entry point of..."

1. g_file_test in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
   
2. g_getenv in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\libgobject-2.0-0.dll
   

Im kind of confused about this.....

is:

C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Gimp\2.10\XXX

(with XXX being Gradients, Fonts, Pattern, etc)

the new Gimp Userfolder ??

It used to be:

C:\Users\me\.gimp-2.10\XXX

I had planned to keep both versions, just to see that the windows installer from Gimp.org automatically removes previous versions of Gimp.

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?
