I often searched for a simple (auto)cad command plugin / script for gimp to create paths. I found the same question in a post from 2006. 
https://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-us...8-gimp-cad
No more post found concerning this issue. So there is no intrest in such thing. But, as I have some Script-Fu scripts to create a circle, rectangle, etc....  I wonder if there exist something like the command menu of 'multiple guides' script, something like this (easier working than working with guides): 
Line (start point / end point):
L | x1,y1 | x2,y2 |
Circle (center point / radius)
C |x1,y1 | x2
Ellips (center point / axis x / axis y)  
E |x1,y1 | x2 | y2
Arc (start point / end point / radius)
A (x1,x2 | x2,y2 | value
It would be possible with such thing to easy create a simple technical sketch and further pimp it up in gimp. I noticed that there existing now a lot of applications in gimp to work with paths, so many things are possible. It is not the intention to make gimp a cad program but such a thing would be nice.

I am creating a playing card game. I created the first card with borders and color gradient through the card and some text.

Is there an easy way to make different variations of the same card, like changing the color of the borders and gradient without having to do every card over again.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I have a problem with paths! I've used them to cut a portion of a picture, but now I can't get rid of them. Every time I open a picture the program select the path mode and I fail to get the normal pointer (selection).
What can I do? I searched Google and a lot of tutorial but without any success!

I use the program in Italian so I'm not sure if the correct term is "path" or "lock".

Please help me, I'm getting mad!

Thank you very much

I did not create this plug-in, but I went searching for it a few months back for a project but couldn't find it anywhere online. I was combing through my old laptop today and found the zip file from 2014. I uploaded it to Google Drive so other people can try to use it.

What is it? Its the most realistic optical focus blur I've used aside from Snapseed, Google Camera, and PS. Has a lot of bokeh adjustments and looks very convincing if used correctly. Here is the link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OabSFgy...sp=sharing

I can't promise it'll work with the newest version of GIMP, so don't ask me for tech support. Enjoy!

I  am using the text tool to make some text.  The text contains some digits.  As soon as I type a digit,
the font changes to some other font.  I thought maybe it's treating the 2 as a command so if I use the text editor it will fix it.
Nope.  I thought OK maybe this font just doesn't have any data for the digits so I'll try another font.  Nope.  Is it too much
to ask that digits I type in the text tool be in the same font that I have chosen?  Using 2.10

Thanks and sorry if this question is too basic but I did google for the answer and didn't find it.

Hi! I just updated to 2.10.22 yesterday (macOS) and began some new projects. I noticed that creating any selection area, with any tool that CAN create a selection area, does not display the marching ants anymore. Anyone out there have a fix for that? I can't seem to find an option for this in preferences.

Also... is one of the macOS bugs for gimp just it running slower than normal?

I want to select only black but I get greys in the selection as well.

How do I select only black?

With the decorate / Arrow Heads Ofnuts plugin I've tried to draw arrowheads on both ends of a circle segment. It's a segment from a circle I've cut with the Tools / Cropping and slicing / Slice path by lines. The upper arrowhead is ok but the lower arrowhead is not wel oriented. Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. 
PS : The drawing in attachment is a detail of a bigger drawing, so zoom in to see the problem.

Using GIMP 2.8 I initially, because I am a beginner and did not understand how to fully use GIMP, I made a simple ‘square’ logo for a Subscribe Button. The ‘square’ logo subscribe button was my first attempt and it uploaded on my YouTube channel properly and it works. I did not use any coloring on the ‘square’ logo, and no ‘button shape.’

After watching, and following, two “How to Create a Subscribe Button,” videos, in order to improve my site, I decided to make a regular ‘Subscribe Button.’ I actually made several, but, no matter how I change it, none of the buttons will upload. I am giving one example of several. So, obviously, I am doing something wrong.

Hello!

Looking forward to obtain a better understanding of GIMP. I am a Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia OS user and use GIMP 2.8.
