I'm running GIMP 2.10.4 on Windows 10, 64 bit, and getting an error when trying to use Beautify.  I've copied to two directories & four exe files to by plugins directory.  When I try to use Beautify it does launch, but I only get a few of the overlays to use.  If I try to use the Simple Border option, when I select one of the borders I get a Gimp Message:

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-context-set-pattern':

Pattern 'Clipboard' not found

Any ideas/help?  Again, the plugin does launch, and for the Rip & Texture borders I get only one page of 15 choices, no others to select or scroll through.

Thanks in advance!

I have a new install of Gimp 2.10 on a VMware Ubunto 18 on a MacBookPro.

I'm starting to learn python-Fu and for some reason can't copy my *.py script to the Gimp plugins folder. I'm a real new to Linux and have no idea why this is. The permissions for the plugin folder are read & write (Parent = root)

Any ideas why this would be?

Also , do you have any suggestions for tutorials, learning materials for creating scripts.  I've been a photoshop user for many years but now want to use gimp and specifically replace photoshop's 'automate' macro recorder with gimp scripts

With many thanks

So, I was working on a document and inserting guides to help me align various elements. But now I don't need many of the guides, but still want to retain some of them. I know how to remove all of them (Image > Guides > Remove all Guides), but how do I remove just some? For instance, what if I wanted to delete just those indicated in the example below?

How do I find and add a driver four the aiptek 12000u tablet to Ubuntu 18.04 for gimp 2.10?

In the process of creating car textures on the side view, front view and rear view, how do I make shiny metallic textures on the car body with reflection? Also is there a way to auto add shadows and shading depending on light direction as if it were a 3d render?

I have a CAD programme, I would like to recolour the GUI to submit to the company as a suggestion for a new colour scheme.

My question is : Is it possible to "sample" a particular colour on the GUI and then ask GIMP to recoulor all of that selected colour to the colour that I want to change it to ?

At the moment the only way I can think of would be to draw rectangles, ellipses, circles etc and then use the bucket tool to fill in the drawn rectangles etc.

Thanks in advance

I figured since I've decided to pick up graphic design again that I'd post this annoying bug. I'm not sure why, but everytime I install Gimp I keep seeing how it says certain filters & dll files are missing or won't open, but the program as a whole still works. My main reason for posting this is to hopefully get rid of this from happening everytime it starts up so I don't have to leave the application all day without having to click away at 30 error windows.

Hello,

Being generally quite resourceful with a computer, I usually post only as a last resort... but 'im unable to find a solution to my problem. I guess I'm the only one in this situation. 

I explain: I have been using the GIMP software to edit images of all kinds for a few years now, and for a few months, the official version 2.10 has been released. However, I find this version awful, and not only from an aesthetic point of view (otherwise I would go with it), but also functional. For example, I can no longer copy and paste an image from the clipboard into my layers, resizing an image changes its color, etc...

I've obviously reverted immediatly to version 2.8.22, which perfectly satisfies my needs, and that should be the end of my story, but... GIMP felt obliged to integrate an automatic update in its software. So at every startup, i have to uninstall the current version of gimp, and reinstall the version 2.8.22. which is quite boring in the end...

At the moment, I have tried different solutions: 

1. Look in the app settings.... obviously, there was nothing (Thanks GIMP) 
2. Searching the entirely registry from... nothing to disable updates either 
3. Search in all subfolders stamped GIMP to look for an Updater... nothing 
4. Search among programs that run at startup... nothing either 
5. Blocking access to sourceforge.net/projects/gimp and gimp.sourceforge.net in the host file, where the updates seem to come from... but it didn't work either. 

If someone has a solution to prevent the auto update, I confess that it will definitely help me, because I do not know what to do anymore.

Hey I have a question for more knowledgable digital artists about brush lag in GIMP 
I am working in GIMP right now to paint and I had done a few small designs at 1.5"x1.5" with GIMP running perfectly. However when I opened a 8.5"x11" canvas and used brushes with sizes in the hundreds instead of the teens I got extreme brush lag when I applied pressure with only size and opacity being based on pressure.
I have 16GB of ram and a 3.8Hz CPU. 
Should I just do smaller art or is there something I can do to fix this?


Thanks!

I am having trouble making a brush.  I use Copy or Copy visable and Paste as but keep getting errors that stop the process. I do not know what this means.  Is there something I need to do to correct this?  I have Windows 10, 64 bit.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
