I recently installed Gimp 2.8 and started having issues in Windows 10.  First, when I go to View > Toggle External Preview, I get the following error:

[DocumentSaveTempFile] - ERROR: Unable to Create Temp File:

C:\Users\kweatherford\Documents\EPSS Build 18\rpg_epss\basxe_data_display\scan\~tm9cc9.html

I also noticed that Code Cleaner no longer works, either.

Hello,

I have been drawing with Gimp for several years. I've used two drawing tablets with it, and noticed the same problem with both: when hovering over the drawing area, I cannot pan or open the context menu with a stylus.

My current tablet (a Huion WH1409) has a stylus with two buttons, one of which simulates a right-click, the other a middle-click. These buttons work without any problem in web browsers, as well as in Gimp's dockable dialogs (Brush Dynamics, Tool Options, etc.).

I've noticed that when I click (with the mouse) outside the Gimp window, the stylus buttons do allow for panning and right-clicking in the drawing area, but once the window regains focus they are made unresponsive again; so the problem disappears when Gimp thinks my stylus is a mouse, however briefly.

I have spent a fair amount of time in the "Input Devices" and "Extended Input Devices" dialogs, but they have been quite cryptic and less than helpful.

Is there a setting to view, change or fix how stylus button inputs are treated by Gimp?

Thank you.

hi everyone,

i have installed gimp in windows 10 but the fonts in the gimp menus are small so is there any way to make the fonts larger or change the font 
size or change font in verdana.

i have searched in gimp no solution to make fonts bigger or change the fonts.

with regards

I recently saw a post asking how to get a 'drop shadow'.

After using Gimp for some time, I forget that beginners have problems even with filters such as Drop Shadow.
   

This video looks at that tool with some pointers. 6 minutes duration
- Check the light direction
- The basic dialogue
- Using negative values
- Manual adjustment of the drop shadow.




One stage further and a way to create a shadow for a graphic, using a selection.
- Good for practice use of the transform tools and their modes.
- Uses a gradient and gaussian blur.

Hi I am new to photo editing but an anyone please just tell me what the process is called where you have a sort of 3d effect on an image. For example the background of the image stays static but images in the forefront can move when the screen is scrolled up of down.
This is for a website project and an example of what I am trying to ask is here in the header image http://elegantthemes.com/preview/Divi-One-Page/ .
I only need to know what this type of effect is called so I can then learn how to do it, and I hope that Gimp is capable of doing or if anyone knows of a tutorial I can use.
Many thanks and apologies for the dumb question but know my other stuff just not photo editing side of life

  Newbie at Gimp 2.8 using Windows 10. I am able to add text to the canvas; but when I drag the text box onto the photo the text does not appear. What am I doing wrong? I first tried to add the text box onto the image itself; but the text does not appear when I start to type. I have searched all over google for help in regards to this subject; so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Ron

On 1024x768 resolution with gtk-font-name="Sans 14" in gtkrc-2.0.
Gimp's open, save, or export windows dialog often being bigger than actual screen.

To prevent this from happening:

Hey Guys, 
First let me apologize for my extreme lack of experience. Someone showed me GIMP and now I really wanna get better at using it!

I know very littlt tbh...All I know are are the various tools in GIMP and how to create different texts. I also know a bit about filters and how to add stuff like a cloud/fog filter. 

I had some questions. I wanna learn how to make sigs. Can someone explain (without just linking me to a tut at first) how a background is formed and also how you can get like a render blended in to the background? Also is it possible to add a render to your GIMP doc and then resize it on your canvas? I can't seem to find out how to resize the render! Also how do I had a pac/render that is in front or behind my text in GIMP?

I definitely have tons of questions. Please understand that I am not someone who just understands through linking to a tut. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain how GIMP works and how you end up reaching different backgrounds that look cool and all.

Please help I am getting desperate!

Thanks
God
