Will brush dynamcs be activated in next release 2.10 ?

Will 2.10 have aditional features for brushes?

Will it have vector layer system?

Yes I know there are other standalone freeware that will remove EXIF data quickly 
but I will work intensively with GIMP so I want to save up the effort of starting
another application. 

Are there any GIMP plugins that will remove EXIF data completely?

for example
I open 10 images at the same time while I have all of them edited
and I want to export them to PNG
but I don't want to click 10 times File>Export>OK etc.....


Any simple way to export them to PNG quickly?

I have a large number of photos that are with logo mostly located at the lower right bottom
corner.
I want to remove all the logo (that I am authorized to do so) intelligently and quickly

What I mean intelligently is - removing the logo while preserving the surrounding color or pattern as good as possible.
Quickly - removing in a bulk way because there are too many photos to work with, I can't afford to do it one by one

I can understand and accept that it may not apply to all photos because a few photos may be out of the "pattern"

Is it possible or simply not possible?

Please have a look at the following image:



I have circled in blue the problem I'm trying to solve. Part of the shading on the ship is over top the apple. So why not move the ship shading layer below that of the apple? The problem is the ship shading is part of a group (called "shading") which includes a layer of the shading on the apple too. If I move the shading group below the layer of the apple, the apple will lose its shading (it will be over top it).

I'm wondering if there's a way to take layers in a group which is above layers in another group and interleave them with layers in the lower group. After all, putting layers in a group serves a completely different function than ordering layers above and below each other. Grouping is all about organizing layers related in some way, not about ordering them according to above/below. Therefore, I would think grouping layers together should HAVE to mean the layers in one group will necessarily ALL be above or below layers in another group.

Is this true? Is there a way to do what I want in Gimp?

Thanks.

I can use the  'Free Select Tool'  to draw polygons.How do I use Gimp Python-fu to do the same thing?

Should I use this?:  pdb.gimp_edit_stroke_vectors(drawable, vectors)

If so, I don't know what to do for the vectors parameter. I tried treating it like an array of coordinates, or an array of arrays of coordinates but that does not work.  So far I have learned to create an image, open an image in a layer, copy a layer and more. I am not making good progress on polygons.

So in light of recent events, i was wondering about copyright and unwanted sharing of images.
Im not gonna slap a watermark on all my images i post on the web or should i ?

There is the advanced option to automatically add a comment in Gimp, but of course that requires people to look there and its a kind of hidden feature.
Also unsure i want to add an email adress to all my images in said comment section.

What about those licenses you see in scripts and stuff ? Does it make any sense ?

Does anyone know if Filter > Blur > Average or a filter with equivalent functionality is available in 2.9.8? I had hoped to use it in correcting a pronounced color cast.

Thanks much.

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 box and am using a Wacom tablet CTL 480.  

Problems

1) the program sometimes changes color when I am drawing.  Mostly it is the second color in the two color rectangles in the toolbox. 
2) sometimes the erase function does not work or you get a color from it, the colors coming from the color rectangle in the tool box.

I can fix this temporarily sometimes by closing GIMP, also by deleting devicerc.  Sometimes I can fix the problem by disabling the tablet by editing the input devices. disabling if enabled or enable if disabled.

These problems are occurring with maddening frequency.   I hate to have to learn another program but these problems making using GIMP very annoying.

Any assistance much appreciated.
