something strange. l am using linux lite 6. i was looking on the internet for something similar to the old windows paint program and i came across, you guessed it, gimp. so being a little smart, i looked in my menu under graphics and all accessories. no gimp. next smart thing. i typed gimp in terminal. gimp 2.10 loaded up on my screen, i did my old paint things successfully, with no error messages, and closed gimp. i incorrectly assumed i had installed gimp on my computer by type gimp in terminal. alas no gimp in my menu. so what the heck was that? and i can do it again.

Hi All,
I currently have version 3.2.6 installed in Gimp 2.10.36 in windows 11...
Do I install version 333 directly on top of the old version or does it need to be uninstalled?
How do I uninstall it?
Thanks,
FlutteringBy

Good evening,
I am using GIMP 2.10.18 on a MX Linux distro. I can't use nor see this plugin, despite being included into the /home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ folder:
https://www.gimpscripts.net/2020/12/cale...64bit.html
I know that it is a plugin which is apparently designed for the Windows version of GIMP. But, can I use it somehow on Linux? Can I convert to a format that Linux understands it?
I tried to launch GIMP for Windows via Wine and put that plugin in the corresponding plug-ins folder, but when I launch that plugin, GIMP hangs up.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have a problem with script in Python-FU. I want to run the script by drag-and-drop two files on .bat file.
Script is working fine when I run it from GIMP menu, but from .bat i receive error:
Code:
Error: Invalid number of arguments for python-fu-file-import-as-layer (expected 5 but received 2)
.bat file:
Code:
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
if "%~2"=="" (
echo Please provide two file paths.
pause
exit /b
)
set "file1=%~1"
set "file2=%~2"
start "" "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe" -b "(python-fu-file-import-as-layer \"%file1%\" \"%file2%\")"
exit /b
file-import-as-layer.py
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
from gimpfu import *
def file_import_as_layer(fname_one, fname_two, image, layer):
try:
# Load the main image
image = pdb.gimp_file_load(fname_one, fname_one)
# Check if the image loaded successfully
if not image:
raise Exception("Failed to load the main image.")
# Load the second image as a layer
drawable2 = pdb.gimp_file_load_layer(image, fname_two)
# Check if the layer loaded successfully
if not drawable2:
raise Exception("Failed to load the second image as a layer.")
# Make sure the second layer is visible
pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(drawable2, True)
# Get the layer position in the layer stack
position = len(image.layers)
# Create a new image for both layers
new_image = pdb.gimp_image_new(image.width, image.height, image.base_type)
# Duplicate the main layer
new_layer_main = pdb.gimp_layer_new_from_drawable(image.layers[0], new_image)
# Duplicate the second layer
new_layer_inserted = pdb.gimp_layer_new_from_drawable(drawable2, new_image)
# Insert the main layer into the new image
pdb.gimp_image_insert_layer(new_image, new_layer_main, None, 0)
# Insert the second layer into the new image
pdb.gimp_image_insert_layer(new_image, new_layer_inserted, None, 1)
# Show the new image with both layers
gimp.Display(new_image)
except Exception as e:
pdb.gimp_message("Error: {}".format(str(e)))
# Register the Python-fu script
register(
"python_fu_file_import_as_layer",
"Import a file as a layer",
"Import a file as a layer into the current image",
"Author",
"Author",

"*",
[
(PF_STRING, "fname_one", "Main Image", ""),
(PF_STRING, "fname_two", "Image to import as layer", "")

main()
What arguments I need to specify?

Hello.
I sometimes use a set of grunge brushes which tile seamlessly. Very good for game textures and other 3d scenes. To fit them to the image currently requires a couple of steps which I'd prefer to simplify:
1. Manually set brush size to image size (this usually applies to square images so the size value on its own is usually enough).
2. Create horizontal and vertical guides at 50% each (or zoom in and be careful). I recently installed a guides plugin which makes this a little easier.
Another option I read about was to set up the grid so that its lines cross at the centre, but that's quite a few steps and some people might want the grid for other uses.
The above may only be 2 steps but I may have several layers with different grunge brushes, and/or be making several images, so those 2 steps can multiply quite quickly. Some repetition will be needed if, between adding grunge brushes, I change the brush size for other things (e.g. eraser, painting, cloning etc).
Does anyone know if there are any addons that could simplify the above process? If not, I'd be happy to raise a feature request on the GNome page for 3.2 (I'm aware that 3.0 is now having just it's existing features tweaked, which makes sense).

HI, I think I used to be able to paste an image - be it a copy of another open image in GIMP or from a Windoze snip and then immediately move it around. I'm no longer able to do so and find it very frustrating. Can anyone help, please?
The forum won't let me post images despite allowing me to paste them in, I hope I can describe what is happening. I'm using GIMP 2.10.36 on Win 10.
1) I create a new image
2) I then open another image (or copy to my clipboard from another source):
3) I Control C the above and then paste in the new image. Dang if I can't move it at all. All I get is the cross hair with a crossed circle?. How am I messing this up?
Thanks so much.
