Create Paths from Guidelines? - scrollsgeek - 05-14-2020

Does anyone know if it is possible to create paths from guide lines? Thanks for you help!

I set in the gimp menu 'View / Snap to Guides' on and draw with the 'Path Tool' on the guides. The control points of the path you draw snap to the guides.

Not as far as I know. I have a script to create a path grid, if this is what you have in mind. If you just want a rectangle, delimited by 4 guides, use the 4 guides to create a selection wit the rectangle tool, then Select>To path. The resulting path will have just 4 points in the corners.
