Is there a way to do that? I couldn't see it...

I'm trying to install resynthesizer plugin cause gimp doc is talking about it. I downloaded it and extracted it. I changed chmod appropriately. I placed the extracted folder into the gimp plugin folder of which location is indicated in the preference. I restarted the gimp application. Then no luck. What do I missing here?

I can't browse my local folders within Gimp 2.10.
Therefore opening files from different folders or saving to a folder of my choice is impossible.
Don't have this problem with Gimp 2.8, neither had this problem with all previous versions.
Dragging pictures into Gimp works but it is cumbersome to say the least.
Wonder that no-one mentioned this before or am I missing something?
I tested with Gimp 2.10.0 Rev 2 from portable apps.

Thanks in advance for any helpful hint.

Hi everyone.
I just updated from Gimp 2.8 to 2.10 and I'm loving the new sets of themes and icons available. Now, when using the dark theme, drop-down menus are unreadable because colors are very light gray over even lighter gray. Once you activate the menu and it drops to select an option, text changes to black, which is fine. In the screenshot you can see the desaturate window with the drop-down menu to choose among modes.
Is there a way to change this? I see themes and icons can be changed but I didn't see anything related to menus.
Thanks in advance!

This attachment is in the blur/sharpen section in the gimp doc. The last sentence is very ambiguity. Anyone knows what that means exactly?
I painted on the original image, then it is just the painting function, of course. What am I missing here?

My dear, can someone describe step by step how do I create a bannere equal to the attachment?

In 2.8.2 I made heavy use of the "value" mode for the paintbrush to do shading on layers with alpha channels.  This would let me shade only the actual painted areas of the layer without altering the transparent areas whatsoever.  In 2.10, Gimp now edits the transparency as well as the colored pixels, meaning that I can no longer use this brush to shade the objects on a given layer without also darkening the transparency around those objects in an unwanted way.

Is there any way to set the brush so that when in value mode it only alters the pixels that have been painted and not the transparency?

EDIT: I just discovered the "legacy" setting, which lets me get around this. I assume this is the only way to get what I'm looking for?
-Thanks

There is an option named "Limit line width" in the distort>engrave filter category. Anybody can easily see the difference when it is applied to an image. However I don't quite sure why the name is "limit line width". Does anyone know what the name of this option implies?

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.



Any ideas?

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 

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.
