Problems with circle-slash on paint bucket and rectangles ***Resolved |

Hi, I am having problems with the circle-slash problem with rectangles and paint bucket. BTW, Windows 10 Pro, Gimp 2.10.30
I want to make glossy buttons for my visual basic project and found a youtube video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecs0yk4Vasw. I have used the instructions on the video to make several buttons, but now am encountering the dreaded circle-slash error. Here is what I do: Create a new file: File=>New and set the size to 360X240. Like in the video, I use the paint bucket to make the canvas white. So far so good. Then when I try to make a rectangle (which I have done many times in the past), I get the circle-slash. Based on the help on the internet, I click on Select=>All and I am able to create the rectangle. I set the size to 240X120 with a rounded radius of 21. Then I click on Select=>Save to Channel like in the video. Then I create a new layer as per video. Unlike the video, I want to fill the rectangle with red. When I click on paint fill, I get the circle-slash error again. When I click the select=>all, my rectangle disappears. I have no idea what has changed between when I was able to do this before and now am fighting it. I really like Gimp but the problem I have with it is that I can accidently click something with my mouse and blow things up. As information, I have researched this problem on the internet and have tried what I have read to correct it: making sure there are no locks on my layers, making sure that select=> all is selected and so on and so forth. I am not having any luck. Please help me. (Let me know if I need to send pictures of my settings.) Thank you

Resize selection made by Ctrl+A |

Sorry if this seems a silly question but can someone please explain why, when in rectangle select mode, it isn't possible to use Ctrl+A to select all and then resize the selection from that? No transformation handles are available. Is there a reason for this?

Checkerboard.. why? |

I loaded an RGB image which I added an Alpha channel to and then decomposed it. I pasted another image into the alpha channel and then did a compose into an RGBA image. At this point the image it shows me on the screen now has a checkerboard pattern on it even though none of the channels had any transparent areas. I saved the image as a png. If I open it with a different program it appears normal. If I open it with Gimp, it as the checkerboard pattern on it.
I am new to Gimp, so I would lke to know what this is indicating and how to remove it?

Gimp freezing on Open/Export files |

Hello, for a while now, gimp has been very slow or stops responding on every file operation.
I have tried uninstaling gimp and even formated my compter recently, and i am still experiencing the same problem.
I have read on other threads about "phantom drives" which could caus gimp to freez but i have not found any of that on my computer, though i am not quite sur what to look for.
The only thing that works is right clicking a file and choosing "open with gimp".
All other file operations either take 10 minutes to load, or fail.
i have tried, uninstalling and re-installing
i have tried formating my computer
i have tried disconecting my computer from the internet
Thank you!

luminosity-tiler-0.1 - Error |

Filter: luminosity-tiler-0.1.py
Author: Ofnuts
Date: 2013
I have two images open.
- The image on which I want to apply the filter and the image that contains the Tiles.
- Tiles used are those from XCF in the sample file provided on Sourceforge (LuminosityCircleTiles.xcf).
I activate the image, activate the filter, indicate the image with Tiles in the filter...
The error below appears:
GIMP Error
Calling error for procedure 'plug-in-pixelize2':
Procedure 'plug-in-pixelize2' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plugin is trying to work on an image that doesn't exist any longer.
Tiles from Luminosity Warning
Procedure 'plug-in-pixelize2' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plugin is trying to work on an image that doesn't exist any longer.
I've never used this plugin before, I just installed it and was wanting to try it out. so I don't know exactly if I'm doing everything right or if I'm doing something wrong.
Maybe an outdated plugin?
Thx

Trying to get "oft-interleave-layers" plug-in to work. |

Hello all,
I need to get some GIF work done and do one of the most brutal tasks of all: Adding text to a GIF (dun dun dun)
I downloaded the oft-interleave-layers plugin from Ofnuts' list of scripts here . I got the .zip, extracted the .py file into my plug-in folder (Home > .config > GIMP > 2.10 > plug-ins > oft-interleave-layers.py). This plug-in folder is the first folder in my Preferences options. The .py is also executable.
I am not able to get the plug-in to even show in my menus however. The documentation states that the plug-in should be available under Image but after numerous retries and fiddling, I am not able to get this to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
I find it ironic that I'm spending more time getting this to work than manually adding the text to each layer lol, but I know that it'll save me time in the upcoming projects.
After some more fiddling, I found a solution to my own problem. I am on Manjaro, and I don't know what the equivalent would be on other distros/platforms.
I had to install the python2-gimp package from the AUR. I either did not have the package that GIMP needs for plug-ins, or the script doesn't work with python3, or maybe both! I don't know what happens for what reason in plug-in development, but oh well. Any way, the plug-in works like a charm now.

invalid file type? |

HI - I am new to GIMP but just installed the 2.10.30 version. I have a few images that I want to have GIMP modify. So after I load GIMP on my MS Windows 10 64 bit OS and then go to FILE=>OPEN and select a file, I get a message from GIMP for the file that I am trying to open - Opening 'C:\Users\GP Standalone\Pictures\bow2.jpg' failed:
Unknown file type
If I copy the same image to the Windows clipboard and then use FILE=> CREATE (from Clipboard), I have no trouble seeing the image in the GIMP workarea. I can then SAVE the file as an ..XCF and then Open it successfully. However if I try to export the work from GIMP to a say x.jpg file, I get the GIMP message - The given filename does not have any known file extension. Please enter a known file extension or select a file format from the file format list.
Does anyone recognize what is happening here? Thanks
