This is ofn-export-layers ported to Gimp v3.

So far this is done without added functionality, for instance it will still export everything and not just the selected layers.

Any good ideas for enhancements welcome.

At the usual place for V3 things.

Enjoy.

When I load Gimp 3.0 I get this message "Error while parsing 'C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\devicerc' in line 9: invalid value 'a' for token select-criterion

Is this a problem and how do I correct?  Also, could this relate to some of the problems I had with a previous thread, difficulty removing jpeg background?

Hi there, if I click on a menu, and then move either left of right, the menus dropdown so you can see the listings, but both the the View and Color menus are long, so they will not close when you move the cursor either left or right, with the View menu, you can click on the up arrow at the top, to clear the menu, but the Color menu doesn't have a arrow at the top that I can see, I have to move the cursor off to one side and click to clear the menu. Would like to see both menus extend downward, so the menu title isn't hidden. Take care.

   

I have Gimp 2.10.38 and now updated to 3.0.1  and just to 3.0.2 but have found cant get the plugins I have in previous verion to install in 3.
See pic where I copied the exact plugins from location for 2.10 but 3.0.2 and 3.0.1 does not seem to see them do you have to load some
other way in the new updates?

I am running a laptop with Ubuntu and when Gimp updated it quit working with Darktable.  I have subsequently uninstalled all three programs and reinstalled them in various orders and Gimp will not open Raw files and does not show either Darktable or RawTherapee as import options.  Also does not appear to allow a person to enter either program as an import option.  I am not a programmer (I can barely take pictures), and virtually every web search just says  install the programs and they will work together.  NOT TRUE.  Most of those searches don't even relate to the new version of Gimp.  What is most perplexing is that My previous setup was working perfectly and the update to Gimp 3 was automatic but dropped any functionality with Darktable.

Hello.  On my previous PC, i was on GIMP 2.10
using File---Overwrite would pop up a dialog box with Export Image as JPEG settings
Convenient way to change quality of original image

With Gimp 3.0, using Overwrite simply overwrites the file and offers no dialog box

I have tried everything I can think of to get the dialog box to pop up but i got nothing

Maybe there is a better alternative I am unaware of

thank you!!

There are other plugins that do the same like Ofnuts "ofn-extract-objects" and G'MIC-Qt "Extract Objects" (install "G'MIC-Qt plugin", Plugin > Filters > G'MIC-Qt... > Arrays and Tyles > Extract Objects), but I wanted to learn some GIMP 3 Python scripting so made this.
How to install in Windows (I don't have Linux or Mac):
Go to GIMP 3 plugins folder by typing in the File Explorer's address bar:

I've been working on the graphics for a programming project and I'd like to make a suggestion for improving how GIMP handles the situation I find myself in.

Before I get into the issue I'd like to bring up, please know that I love GIMP. The way it handles layers is far superior to any other graphics application I've ever used, including Photoshop which I've been using for over 20 years. I understand why the .xcf format is important; after all, it preserves so much history of the image and it sounds like it's going to get even better very soon.

However, there's a case for combining Save and Export for images. Export makes sense for PDFs or perhaps ASCII-based formats suitable for including in program data, but for images, it's far more convenient to just use Save.

Now, what I've been dealing with...

The images are all PNGs generated by Inkscape. Of necessity, I've had to fiddle with a few of them to make them fit the UI. The process of saving these images takes me through no less than five dialog windows before the image gets saved.

It would be a lot faster if I could simply hit Ctrl-S to save these files. Then the only extra dialog I'd have to deal with is the one that asks me if I want to replace the existing file. Currently, I have to do this:

• Ctrl-S
  
• select the .xcf extension,
  
• delete it,
  
• type ".png"
  
• hit Enter,
  
• answer the dialog that asks if I actually want to Export
  
• click OK on the Export dialog,
  
• answer the "Do you want to Replace" dialog,
  
• click OK on the final "Do the thing" dialog.
  

Hi

In earlier Versions one could connect layers. This function is no longer available ?

The symbol in the layers-overview for chaining the layers is gone.

I want to scale several layers in one action. But it doesnt work. I tried the intuitive way by selecting all of them and then choose the scale-dialog .. but just one layer is scaled then.

    I was barely getting along with a previous version, but just made the mistake of upgrading to GIMP 3.0.2 Mac Silicon. Now I can't do anything! I even tried going back to my previous version, but that had apparently been blown away.

The display is uniformly black, with a vertical grey bar with an ellipsis on the left side. Bar and ellipsis are immovable. Tools are not visible. Graphic is not visible. Selections may be made from the menu bar at the top, but to no avail.

HELP!
