GIMP 3.0.4 problem

Posts getting crossed; You are now on a fx layer see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-GIMP-3...1#pid44441

Okay. I suppose I will have to "adapt", as you've told me. Either way, I don't understand what was gained by adding three steps.

Unnecessary complications ? Gimp 3.0 is still very much in developement. For everyday use why not go back and use Gimp 2.10

I can and will if I continue to get problems with 3.0 that I can't solve. The 2.0 version is still in my computer.

But, I sometimes do my GIMP work on a public computer at a local library, which had the 2.0 version but now has the 3.0 version. I don't think the 2.0 version was kept, but I'll check on that the next time I'm there. I hope it's still there.

vulpus: Hmm - it looks like your Windows status bar is covering the bottom of the GIMP window, where the anchor button and other layer options would be. You could also right-click on the layer and choose the Anchor option there.

I'm looking at the larger problem now, and will try to have that fixed for the next release.

Yes, sometimes you have no choice.

I suppose the obvious "fix" might be:

With the top layer active: Layer -> New From Visible and then export that. It should work and keep all your layers in case of editing.

Otherwise, Image -> Flatten Image which should happen when exporting (or maybe not)

You are totally correct.  I was able to "nudge" the GIMP window upward, and then I saw the Anchor icon.  Is there a "permanent" way to get the GIMP window to fit the height?

Usually the maximise icon on the Giimp will show all in your screen. Next to the minimise - and close  X icons
