  How to Recover File after a Crash?
Posted by: AngelH - 08-01-2023, 03:33 AM - Forum: Windows - Replies (2)

I'm using:
Windows 10
GIMP 2.10.34

I was following a tutorial and Gimp crashed.
I hadn't saved. Yeah, I know, I know...

Anyway, is there a temp folder where I can retrieve the unsaved file?

I found two temp folders connected to Gimp but they were both empty.

Thank you,
AngelH.

Photo How? From a new user.

Greetings to all. As mentioned new and just downloaded the program. 

I opened some files and whenever I export to jpg there are squares covering all the images, narrow lines. Can't figure out a color because of my vision. I've poked around, turned off grids and guides without any effect. What don't I know? 

Hope they show on the attached image. 

Thanks very much. Happy Trails.

  Updating GIMP in Linux
Posted by: doobs - 07-31-2023, 02:21 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (4)

Greetings,

New forum member here.

I've been using GIMP, mostly on Windows and at work, for a number of years and am a faithful disciple.

My profession life ended on May 5th with my retirement and I'm now officially a "free man" and old fart....

We are in the process of building a new retirement home, so my focus of late is trying new things computer wise, with one of those things being Linux.

After some looking around, Elementary OS was chosen (don't ask me why, I couldn't tell you) and It's been an interesting experience for this old man to wrap his head around after so many years of Windows-dom. EOS is an Ubuntu variant BTW.

It took some doing, but I've gotten EOS where I wanted.  One of the interesting things I came across was the myriad of ways to install applications.

EOS is fond of flatpaks so initially I installed flatpak applications.  Some of the other applications were snap packages, some where apt packages and a couple were just executables.

What I found was this unholy mixture of install types lead to some very interesting file access issues. Some flatpaks would see folders while the snap packages wouldn't, etc, etc, etc.

After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, I decided to throw flatpaks and snap packages to the curb and just install stuff via good old apt install.

This has solved my file access issues, but I'm finding now that GIMP is stuck on v2.10.30 vs the latest v2.10.34.

Is there any way to update my install without going to a flatpak?

Thank you!

chris


LOL,

I should have read a little further...

  fading text layer
Posted by: mwas - 07-31-2023, 09:39 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

Hi, I am new to this forum so if I my question is in the wrong section, well, sorry I guess!

I have a pdf form to fill like 500 times and I thought using a gimp python plugin is the way to do it. I have developed the said plugin and I can successfully fill the form except that the text layers I am adding are too sharp. Before I save the file manually, I usually use the blur tool to make the text look like it was filled with a pen. I have tried to do this in the plugin but I can't get i right. I am using the gimp.convolve() function. I guess my problem is obtaining the stroke points of the text layer. Can somebody please help me. Thanks.

  Windows XnViewMP as a file browser
Posted by: rich2005 - 07-30-2023, 04:40 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (1)

A sometimes problem. A Windows user annoyed that Windows Explorer only shows Gimp .xcf files with the default Gimp icon.

Does anyone know of a fix ?  

As an alternative there is XnViewMP. Download from the xnviewmp forum: https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=45755

You can use it to browse a folder of files and view any that interest you. Set up to edit in an external editor, that is Gimp. It can make the workflow a little smoother for Windows users.

  Clone selection tool problem /lost
Posted by: Kev - 07-28-2023, 04:10 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I seem to have lost the tool to select a sample from the picture. 

I think I might have accidently clicked on the wrong thing or touched a key on the keyboard.

I'm a real novice with PC's and IT so don't know much.

Before when it was working I would click on the area i wanted to select from then press the trl key on my keyboard and a circle would appear which could then use as my source for cloning and healing. Now i get  four corners and a cross in the middle and the cross stays where click but doesn't work .

  prevent/control the "gimp not responding" window
Posted by: jacques_duflos - 07-28-2023, 02:01 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Hi,
I'm working on a script that takes some time to execute because it sends a list of online requests. It can last up to few minutes. During the process, the window "gimp is not responding" with the options "force to quit" and "wait" appear. Is there a way to prevent it ?
