When I open a window such as Open, Open as Layers, etc., they keep coming up sorted Z-A. How can I get them to come up A-Z (like normal windows) and stay that way? Even when I select A-Z, then close the window, reopen still comes up Z-A.

Did anyone used the old PanoTools gimp plugin from Helmut Dersch with gimp 2.10.38?  I tried it with gimp 2.10.38, get no errors when starting gimp but I could't find the plugin in the menu.

If you have the G'Mic-Qt plug-in, you can experiment with CLUT (Color Look Up Table) colors. You can find G'Mic-Qt here: https://gmic.eu/download.html
Use in G'Mic-Qt: Filters / G'Mic-Qt / Colors / Color Presets.

trying to edit text in an image.   When I use the toolbox Clone tool, it creates this brush effect that I can't get rid of.   New to Gimp to just trying to get acquainted.   

   

Cursor turns into this 'brush' and can't get rid of it.  New to Gimp and want to edit images to get acquainted.   Tried using the toolbox and clone tool give me this.   Just can't go back to a plain cursor.  Cntrl-Z doesn't help.

Disclaimer:I have zero knowledge on GIMP and I'm using it only because it's the free alternative to Photoshop. 
So my problem is: I need to add an image to another file that is in Grayscale set in default. When I try to add an image, that Image to becomes gray too. How do I restore that image colors or prevent it from becoming gray?

I'd like to enable my Midi Fighter Twister (16 rotary encoders) to control certain GIMP parameters such as airbrush size, rate, flow; layer blending mode, opacity; mask visible/not, etc.

I am using GIMP 3.0.6 on an M1 Mac Mini running Tahoe 26.1

In      Preferences -> Input Controllers -> Configure Input Controller        I see a "MIDI" option, but there is no dropdown to choose a connected controller and I've tried a variety of names corresponding to the midi devices that are listed in Mac OS "Midi Audio Setup", e.g. ("Midi Fighter Twister", "IAC Driver").

The Midi Fighter Twister is connected and works properly in my DAW. 

Does anyone have any tips on this issue?

Thanks!

I am running  version 3.0.6 in Windows 11.
In the Roaming folder there is a folder for version 2.10 and a folder for version 3.0.
All of the subfolders appear to be present,  but for example Brushes is empty in both versions.
Why is there a folder for for Version 2.10 when the app is not listed in Setup?
How do I customise the brush folder?

Is version 3.0.6 good or is it still being developed? I have had problems with painting on layers and using layer masks.
Should I revert to Version 2.10?

Hi, I'm not very experienced with Gimp. I recently updated to version 3.0.6 rev 1. Previously, I could display multiple new image icons below the main menu bar, but now I can't find how to do it in Preferences. Has the feature that allowed closing images with a single click been removed? 
Thanks for help

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I am back with another problem. Is there an easy way to crop out each image individually? I did one by hand.

Thanks
