Hi there, i'm a very beginner user and i'm trying to use gimp to create a camouflage for a videogame I like. my question is if it's possible, when using the layers, make one of them just a tiny bit transparent so u can see the layer below and do some work wile beeing able to see the reference image benith it.

closed the lower-right "Dock" because the almighty software didn't deem me worthy enough to enlarge the layers part to a size more than half-an-inch in height. which combination of headstands and jumping-jacks do i need to do to get it back? a reference to the relevant chapter and verse of the holy dOCumEnTaTioN would also suffice.

GIMP is free—so why are you complaining? you're right, no-one should ever make anything of any quality unless they're paid in hard cash, and charities are immoral and redundant.

Hi, I am trying to recreate a "Logo" i made back in 2017     . For that I used alpha-to-logo filter "Glowing hot". 
I found out that it is not in the version i am using (2.10) so I downloaded .scm file of that to add it back. 
I used the same font but as the glowing effect spreads it makes really pixelated borders     . How can I make it smooth as i did in 2017 ? is it problem with the .scm ? Is it because of the gimp version ? 
I have tried different "effect size" options from 20 - 500 but it is still not that smooth. is there any tool to make it smoother or should I go back to older version of gimp or what can i do ?
Appreciate any answers.  

using this "export all layers at once" plugin: Home | Export Layers (kamilburda.github.io)

i made 12 duplicates of the same layer and then moved then all into position to make animation frames. but the plugin just exports them all as the original frame from which the other 11 were duplicated, so i just get 12 copies of the same exact frame which is absolutely awesome. yes, of course i've read the dOcuMEntaTIoN.

I have don’t a lot of searching and I cannot find much on the ‘file-svg-load’ procedure. 

If I start gimp from the directory in which an SVG is located using 

   
How do I get the times/dates back? I used to have them but now I get unknown, even for stuff I have done a little while ago.

I am going insane. I go into the python console and press browse. If I enter "spiral" in the search box nothing comes up. If I switch to "description" which some online tutorial said would catch the hoover text. There is still nothing.

I just don't get it?!? Is the spiral renderer glued on top of something else that I have to use when writing scripts in the backend? If so what function?



I am on 2.10.36 if that is relevant but I think spiral has been there since I first installed years ago.

I have bimp installed and it does not keep the modification dates even though I check the box

I'm a cartoonist who uses GIMP to create my comics. I suddenly haven't been able to save my work. I tried some of the obvious workarounds to get past this. (Updated from GIMP 2.10 34 to 36. Tried renaming files, moving pages to other folders, etc.) Nothing seems to work and I'm beginning to think all my work is lost.

I'll attach the screenshots of the messages I get.  The first one I get when I bring up a file says "Could not read the contents" Then when I try to save, it says "Error Truncating file. Permission denied"

         

I would appreciate any advice, but bear in mind I will need it explained like I am 5 years old. (Not very tech savvy, I'm afraid.)

Thanks in advance,
JT

How do I get Gimp to use Darktable to open an NEF(Raw) file? I'm running W11 (64bit).  Videos I've seen don't show anything more than installing GIMP and Darktable, but they also show it in the GIMP preferences.  Nothing about how it get to show up in preferences.

This is where the video shows the plug-in:

And here is what my preference looks like after I install Darktable on my PC. Nothing about Darktable
