GIMP v.2.10.30 (on Win7 x 32 bit)

When running the file gimp-console-2.10.exe (in the default installation directory on Windows "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin"), the console opens after about 10 s delay with the following error message:

I  don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question but if I don't ask I won't know.

I have colour photos to which I would like to apply a colorization effect to make them look like colourized black and white 50s post cards.

Does anyone know whether there is a filter or a special effect that would allow me to this in GIMP ?
or is the only way to achieve this would be to turn my colour photos into black and white and then colorize them by colour by colour?
this would be too time consuming considering I have to do this for about 50 photos!)

Impossible question with no possible answer?

Thank you in advance

           

I am using GIMP 2.10.24 on Windows 10 64bit.

Until recently I was using GIMP with images from a Nikon D500.  When exporting images I have the "Save Exif data and Save XMP data" checked.
I use these exported images to upload to iNaturalist.  I've never had an issue.
Now I am using a Canon EOS 5 to GIMP images. As above, when exporting images I have the "Save Exif data and Save XMP data" checked.
When I upload images from the Canon camera that have been GIMPed to iNaturalist, I get a "binary comment" on the images I've uploaded.  

If I look at Properties-Details on a GIMPed Canon Image, "binary comment" is listed in the Title and Subject.  When looking at the same image before it is GIMPed, there is nothing listed in Title and Subject.
Looking at original and GIMPed images from the Nikon camera nothing is ever listed in either Title or Subject .

Attached are some screen shots.

I have changed the following in GIMP - Edit-Preferences-Default Image-Comment to have nothing in it.  This made no difference.  Still get the "binary comment"

What is causing the "binary comment" ? It is tedious to have to delete it from every image I upload to iNaturalist.

If any other information is needed, let me know.
Thank you for your review.

Hello friendly people,

So I was using my Wacom tablet in GIMP 2.10 (Tablet model CTH-460 if that matters) and all the dynamics were working just fine until they just... suddenly weren't. There is a text box that says "Dynamics Off", but there's no drop down and right clicking on the field turns up nothing. I can't check or any of the boxes in the mapping matrix, and I can't manipulate any of the other options in the drop-down. I checked tool options in preferences, but nothing there seemed like it would help me out. I also tried updating to 2.10.32, but that didn't change anything either. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?

Tl;dr: Tablet dynamics suddenly stopped working and refuse to turn back on. Wat do?

Im having real problems hear cutting the background out. Round his suite I cant split it from the background and round his head the background is showing in the hair (please see photo attached)

Cant seam to find any paid for art work forums out there, so I guess can someone recommend what tool would do this?
Thanks

Is there a way to grow a line/segment (one with curves) exponentially? Thus, sharp/pointed at one end and fat at the other?

I'm running Gimp 2.10 on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).  Without using the mouse, is it possible to select a layer and make it visible, and hide all other layers?  E.g., a sequence of keyboard entries that can accomplish the same thing as using the mouse to Shift+Left-Mouse-Click on the eye-icon area to the left of each layer in the applicable toolbox tab?

I'm using Gimp 2.10 on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).  I import a multi-page PDF with searchable text into Gimp as layers.  I add a signature JPG file to one or more of the pages and then Export as a FILE.PDF.  The resulting PDF is not text searchable; e.g., I cannot select a sentence in the exported PDF with the mouse and then copy it to the clipboard.  Is it possible to Export to PDF and have the resulting PDF searchable with text?

Hi all.

Does anyone know of a way for Gimp's File Open window to show larger icons?
   

The icons on the left are too small to be of much use. The preview on the right is a nice size, so it would be nice to have those previews (or something a little smaller) in the main file list. It could have something like Windows' options to to show icons in varying sizes. The fact that the files do all show icons suggests that Gimp already generates some sort of thumbail data, so hopefully it won't be a major thing to increase the display size.

I've looked through the settings but not seen anything about the file browser. I've also had a look at version 2.99 but I don't see any additional settings for this.

I often use IrfanView or just Windows itself to browse files, but neither of them can read .xcf files. I've also tried using XnView but that only seems capable of reading the top layer. And it would be nice to keep more things within just one program.

An alternative would be for the existing preview data being saved in such a way as to make other browsers think they're dealing with .jpg data.

If there's an existing solution for my issue, please let me know. Or if there's a better place to ask for the above as a new feature, please let me know of that instead.

Thanks for reading!

Hi

I am having an issue adding UI stuff to my script.    I am unable to use two UI of the same type.   I think I'm missing something in my formatting.  For example:

   (PF_OPTION, "useRare", "Select N to Ignore Rare Percents. ", 0,
             (
                 ["N", "Y"]
              )

         )

That works fine.   I am able to get the Y/N info passed into my useRare parameter.  I am able to to pass it to scripts, no issue.  The problem is I want to add another PF_OPTION.  So I added

   (PF_OPTION, "useColor", "Select Y to use color ", 0,
             (
                 ["N", "Y"]
              )

         )

And that breaks my script.   I can add a PF_RADIO, or a PF_TOGGLE and they work fine too, but I cant add a duplicate for either of those.  Can anyone explain to me how I can enter into duplicate PF types to the UI?
Thank you
