Hi,
I've created an icon in Inkscape (svg saved as a png). However, it's blank when I open it in gimp (png). 
In windows explorer, I can see that the png size is 1 px x 1 px. That's crazy because the svg is 350px  x 400
I suspect this has something to do with layers because I have been clicking and trying out the options. But that just a guess. There must be a setting I've ticked inadvertently. But I just cannot figure it out.
I've attached the svg and the png in case some kind soul would have the courage to have a look.
I've been at this for hours, and it's 2h30 am, so I'm off to my bed. 
This is the 4th icon I've made today and The all came out perfectly. So it's not a compatibility problem between gimp and Inkscape.
Thanks guys

So I've been able to open all the images as layers and then export as a gif, but only in the gui. Is there a way that batch mode can do this? 

I've looked into it but don't see how to add the parameters to the save file parameters that I need, like frame times. The image names are frame#".png" and don't require any additional correction or optimization, I've looked into it and the frames are just too different for optimization to help.

Hello,   
I changed to inches; but would like to use 1/2  1/4      1/8     1/16  etc.
The default is set to tenths.    Where is the preset to change this?
Thank you.

The place to discuss ofn-tiles (still fairly experimental as this thread is started) and ofn-export-layers

ofn-tiles and ofn-export-layers are available here (as separate packages).

So, you have a layer, ofn-tiles will cut it into X by Y tiles (you give the number of tiles of each direction), and save each tile in a
specified directory. ofn-tiles in accessed via Layer>Save as tiles.

Name of the tiles: the file names of the tiles are obtained by inserting the row and column number of the tile (or its sequence number) in a string that your provide. The place where these numbers are inserted are indicated by names in braces:

• row0, row1 is the row number of the tile. When using "row0" the first row is 0 and when using "row1" the first row is 1.
  
• column0, column1 is the column number of the tile. Ending in 0,1 is same as above
  
• tileRC0,tileRC1, tileCR0,tileCR1,  is the tile number. Ending in 0,1 is same as above. The *CR has the rows scanned first so tiles 1, 2, 3 are in the first column while the *RC has the columns scanned first, and tiles 1,2,3 are in the first row.
  
• the string is the complete name of the file and should have an image format extension (png, gif, jpg...) since it will be used by Gimp to determine how to save the file. The defaults settings for the file type are used.
  
• the name pattern is actually a Python format, so modifiers can be used. For instance {row0:03d} will insert the row number on at least three digits, with zeroes added to the left if necessary: "000", "001", "013", "099", "100" 
  

Hi there! I'm very new to Gimp and have been trying to learn how to use it to make GIFs. Everything seems to work fine except for one of the GAP plugins, specifically plugin-wr-curves. When I try to use it to apply a color curve effect on all the frames in a GIF it crashes when I click the "load curves" button and I get an error message: "Calling error for procedure 'plugin-wr-curves': Procedure 'plugin-wr-curves'  returned no return values."

I have no idea what that means, and also no idea how to fix it, so if anybody on here has any clue what's going on I would be grateful for the help. Thanks! 

ps: I have windows 10, I'm running gimp 2.8.22, and I'm not sure what version of GAP I have.

I am using Gimp 2.8 on an Ubuntu 16.04(linux) OS. I'm fairly familiar with Gimp, although my efforts, especially in the subject area, tend to be a bit 'hit and miss'.

I make mosaics and have need from time to time to re-size fairly small images (usually symbols of one kind or another) and to print at perhaps 400x400mm. Whilst I can tolerate the slightly fuzzy (even using Sinc (Lanczos3)), I really do need to find a way of dividing a large image into smaller, print-sized parts.
I had thought that slice-and-join.scm would do but cannot get it to work. One comment from a Ubuntu forum member was:-

"Actually just very buggy code. It append the Gimp data directory to any directory your give in the parameter dialog. So, when asked to use /tmp, it tries to open /tmp\home/me/Sandbox/Image.jpg.rcm. The file open fails, this isn't checked, and the ensuing write fails (the write:argument 2 must be: output port message, because it tries to write to #f (false))... In addition all the directory names processing uses hard-coded backslashes, so that's a Windows-only script."

Perhaps there's some truth in the above and that my trying to use it within a Linux OS was the main error; the fact is that I wasn't able to use that, so I need to find something else that will do the job - I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.

Hello to all and greetings from germany,

4 years ago I was using a few python-fu skripts that worked fine on my computer. 3 days ago I wanna use them again and failed. 

Using gimp 2.8.16 on Win10 with 64biit. Using Python 2.7 und Python-Fu Console works fine.

When I started gimp from cmd-console with gimp-2.8.exe --verbose I've got  a mesage about the failing of my scripts.

Hello People!

I was a GIMPy some years ago & decided to get back into it so I have just installed v2.8.22. I also downloaded & installed what I thought was a user manual that I could access while running GIMP & not online.

The manual file was, "gimp-help-2-2.8.2-en_GB-setup".

....but every time I try to access the manual it tells me it is not installed.......

Any help would be appreciated!

And it is proceeding to drive me up the wall.

Every time I open a new document and draw it's fine, then without touching any of the controls, the fuzzy select tool stops working.
I have tried numerous things such as creating a new document, resetting the controls, checking to see what mode I was on, and so on and so forth. However, my efforts remain fruitless and I'm hoping that someone on here can help me.
If you could that would be greatly appreciated.
