2) This is what the Rotate tools is for.

3) The visibility of the ants is controlled by Ctrl-T, no Ctrl-D (at least in the English version). To check if th is is still the case in your setup, Edit>Keyboard shortcuts and then enter view-show-selection in the search field.

4) Save-for-web is an add-on, so depending  on how it was added to your 2.8, it could have been left behind. Best check if there is a version compatible with 2.10 first.

1. aha!! yes u are right of course.

2. ctrl T - brings up the scale tool.
i'm looking at the keyboard shortcuts now. but cant see anything for deselcting ants - looking under selection menu.

3. aaah... well yes... i might have had a plugin. i assumed this was a new thing from gimp.
i don't remember installing onto my current laptop (i definitely added to another one - but not this one). a little confused. it's back now in the menu as far as a i can see.
