I'm trying to debug a python plugin on gimp 3.0.6 on Windows 11. I can get all the section of code to run in the python console, but nothing turns up in the plugin itself except the specified dialog.

I cannot find out where any message output goes. Is there any way of putting the equivalent of print() statements in the code and having it turn up on a console somewhere? I'm running it from the command line as gimp-3.0.exe --verbose.

Where is there some good information on how to create one gradient in one colour? I'm using V2.

GIMP is 3.0.6, OS is Kubuntu 24.04

Here is how it is supposed to look, crammed into the screen space of my little Cintiq 12WX - 





Any action at all causes the main window to shrink down like this - 





What could be causing it to do this?  

Incidentally, I tried the option to merge the GIMP menu bar with the system menu bar.  I then turned it off, which didn't turn it off.  I then reset the preferences, which didn't turn it off.  I then uninstalled GIMP (using snap, which I installed GIMP with), shut down the computer, turned the computer back on and reinstalled GIMP.  That didn't restore the system menu bar either.  I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem or not. 

Incidentally, the rulers and status bar should be turned off, but they've stuck around anyway.

Hi,
I try to install gimp but it says that i need MacOS11 on my macbook, but I can't install MacOS11 because the computer is to old.
Is there a version of gimp who's compatible with MacOS 10.13.6 please ?
Thanks a lot

I am embarking on my 1st (python) plugin using GIMP 3. I'm a long term (basic) Photoshop user and have a lot of software design experience - but virtually no GIMP experience and zero python experience. So, it's a bit of a learning curve. 

What I'm doing is pretty simple, replicating something I used to do with Photoshop using VB (OLE) automation. Basically, a batch process - need to point to a source directory containing images of various types and resolutions (TIF, PSD, JPG etc), then to load them one by one, perform some basic (automatic) changes, and write them out one by one as JPEGs  to a different directory.

I've got the basic plugin shell going, with a dialog to select directories etc, define the automatic changes and so on, and it seems to work fine.

I think I can see how to get the source filenames using scandir() imported from os. Now looking at loading the files and writing the JPEGs. I assume I can use Gimp.file_load() to load an image.

But, when one writes a JPEG, there are usually some parameters - the JPEG level for file compression to start with. I cannot see any function for doing that. I found Gimp.file_save(run_mode, image, file, options), but it says options isn't used. I really don't want it to pop up a dialog to set these things.

So my basic questions are, is file_load() the right way to load an image, and how do I save a JPEG setting all necessary parameters programmatically?

Newbe here! Could someone tell me how to install a GIMP shortcut on my Windows 11 desktop ? thanks!

A bit restricted but might be of use.

A cut down appimage that relies on system python 3 installation and qt5 (for the gmic plugin)

https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...sLD8CXBYh7    43 MB

and for the gimp_gmic_qt plugin https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...wBHYijirC7 5 MB Unzip and put the folder in your Gimp user profile plug-ins folder.

Even though I haven't used Windows for years I watched this because I was interested in the so-called 'crisis'. It looks like a user revolt over AI forcing users to subscribe to what AI wants.

Rich,

I thought I would direct this post specifically to you since you have provided me with Gimp 2.10.38 and Gimp 3.0.6 AppImages and I thought you may find this interesting.

After updating from Mint 22.2 to Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, neither of my Gimp's will allow files to be renamed or named when trying to save as or export as. 



As an example, in the image above, I'm unable to backspace at all.  It's like the keyboard is dead.  All other programs that I want to rename something in works though, so Gimp seems to be singularly affected.

It has to be related to the update of Mint because that is precisely the moment this issue arose but, I thought I would just check here with you to definitely rule out it being a Gimp problem before I head over to the Mint forum.

When using G'Mic-Qt in GIMP 3.2.0-RC1 and RC2, I get this message. When I click OK on the error messages, G'Mic-Qt is activated and works fine. (sorry error in dutch )
