  Unable to open folders
Posted by: TonyN - 05-09-2018, 11:39 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (6)

Hi
New to this forum so please forgive any dum questions.

I installed 2.10 last evening and whilst generally pleased I have noticed that I'm unable to open either C: or D: from the file open menu.  I see favorites and recently used but cannot open the root level.  If I enter as a location the full path to the image there is no problem but unable to navigate through the explorer.

Previous versions 2.8 etc and there is no issue.

Huh

Any ideas?

Windows 10.

  Setting the threshold interactively in the wand and color selectors
Posted by: Ofnuts - 05-09-2018, 08:49 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - No Replies

Learn something new every day.

When using the color selector and the wand, if you click and drag(*) (instead of just clicking) this changes the threshold and shows you instantly what you have selected.

This has been around for a a while (at least since 2.8). Not really a secret since it is described in the doc, but who reads that  Smile

To experiment, create an image, fill it with Plasma (Filters>Render>Cloud>Plasma), star one of the two tools and click+drag in it.

(*) right/down increases, left/up decreases.

Exclamation Text Along Path Problem
Posted by: Aspalaskas - 05-08-2018, 11:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (13)

Hi. I have a problem with Gimp. When I try it I am getting the error. I watched a lot of videos but could not reach the solution.

Whenever I try to write a curved line, I reach the reverse and uneven writing. And this text is far from the line.

   
   
   
   
   

How can I fix this? Undecided

Thanks...

Bug Python not working in 2.10.0 Windows
Posted by: Someguy - 05-08-2018, 09:03 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (23)

I installed GIMP 2.10.0 on Windows 10. During installation, I did select the option to install Python support. But for some reason, Python support is not working at all.
I do have Python installed and can run it in a terminal window just fine. However, GIMP isn't showing the Python-Fu console or any of my Python scripts in the menus at all.

During startup, GIMP shows errors in the console for all of my Python scripts:


Code:
Querying plug-in: 'C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\python-eval.py'

...and so on. Python worked fine in GIMP 2.8, but not now. Other plugins and Script-Fu works okay, just not anything in Python.

  Overlap in Hue-Saturation
Posted by: gimp-artist - 05-08-2018, 12:10 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm reading gimp Docs. I attached the part of doc for the overlap in Hue-Saturation where how they explain about it. It was difficult to understand what they mean only by reading it. So I tested overlap for myself. I kindof get the concept of it. However I feel like something missing cause I don't understand what docs say about it. Would you tell me how to get the correct concept of overlap in Hue-Saturation dialog?

  Plugin registry installation problem
Posted by: Gewitty - 05-08-2018, 09:59 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

I just upgraded to GIMP 2.10 from 2.8 on my Linux Mint 18 system. However, when I try to re-install the GIMP Plugin Registry, I get dependency errors for various packages which Synaptic has earlier versions of, which clearly don't work with the 2.10 version.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, is there a solution?

  New tablet/pen not recognized in Gimp 2.8
Posted by: zOOmz - 05-07-2018, 08:52 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hi I am new to this forum. I have been using Gimp since 2009. 
I recently had my Wacom tablet break on me, so I went and  bought
a XP-Pen G640S temporary tablet/pen. Gimp does not recognize this
pen with any of the tools. It works fine in PS. So what gives?
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions.

  so older versions of Gimp cant open xcf's made with 2.10 ??
Posted by: Espermaschine - 05-07-2018, 12:39 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (11)

Went back to Gimp 2.8.22 because of the weird behaviour of the Gaussian Blur
Tried to open two images i made with Gimp 2.10 and got an error.

Nothing special about them: one is an image with simple text, the other was the test image for the Blur behaviour.

  Normalize
Posted by: gimp-artist - 05-07-2018, 02:08 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I'm testing automated tools. This function is in the "colors>auto>normalize". I tried this function to many photos. I don't see any difference in any of pictures I tried. Where should I focus on when I utilize this normalize automatic photo enhancement function?
