I not-so-happily spent a bit of time trying to find out why I could open a file for editing in GIMP 2.8 just fine but any time I tried to access the same file using GIMP 2.10 I got permission issues that prevented opening the same file. It turns out there is a small change in the way the file install in the Ubuntu Software Centre presents the installation info. It now includes an easy-to-ignore ‘Permissions’ button that you cannot afford to ignore if your files are on a hard drive that is mounted on your media directory. If you click on the Permissions button, 2 ON/OFF buttons are presented. The top button labeled ‘Access files in your home folder’ is set to On by default. The bottom button labeled ‘Read/write files on removable storage devices’ is set to OFF by default but must be changed to ON to access any hard drive (and presumably any other device that mounts on media) for you to get read/write access or even see the associated folders. If you have this problem, simply go back to the Ubuntu Software Centre and change the setting.

I installed Gimp 2.10, but when I tried to run it, I got error messages for procedure entry points could not be found. Some of them were from GMIC. One of them is from Twain.exe.

I uninstalled GMIC, then uninstalled Gimp, then reinstalled Gimp, but I still got the same error messages.

I then re-installed GMIC, but I still got the same error message.

Could someone tell me how to install Gimp 2.10 fresh? Forget about GMIC now. I can re-install it later. But for now, I just want to install Gimp 2.10 without those error messages. Thanks in advance!

Contrary to the last version, 2.10 is nearly unusable on an HP Spectre x360 (Windows 10, 64 bit, screen res 3840 x 2160)  and wondered if anyone else is having issues/solutions. Too many issues to list... layers, colors, docking, resizing screen/image, etc. Trying to narrow down the source - Windows version or something in configuration, general incompatibility, etc. Thanks! C.

Is there a way to do that? I couldn't see it...

I'm trying to install resynthesizer plugin cause gimp doc is talking about it. I downloaded it and extracted it. I changed chmod appropriately. I placed the extracted folder into the gimp plugin folder of which location is indicated in the preference. I restarted the gimp application. Then no luck. What do I missing here?

I can't browse my local folders within Gimp 2.10.
Therefore opening files from different folders or saving to a folder of my choice is impossible.
Don't have this problem with Gimp 2.8, neither had this problem with all previous versions.
Dragging pictures into Gimp works but it is cumbersome to say the least.
Wonder that no-one mentioned this before or am I missing something?
I tested with Gimp 2.10.0 Rev 2 from portable apps.

Thanks in advance for any helpful hint.

Hi everyone.
I just updated from Gimp 2.8 to 2.10 and I'm loving the new sets of themes and icons available. Now, when using the dark theme, drop-down menus are unreadable because colors are very light gray over even lighter gray. Once you activate the menu and it drops to select an option, text changes to black, which is fine. In the screenshot you can see the desaturate window with the drop-down menu to choose among modes.
Is there a way to change this? I see themes and icons can be changed but I didn't see anything related to menus.
Thanks in advance!

This attachment is in the blur/sharpen section in the gimp doc. The last sentence is very ambiguity. Anyone knows what that means exactly?
I painted on the original image, then it is just the painting function, of course. What am I missing here?

My dear, can someone describe step by step how do I create a bannere equal to the attachment?

In 2.8.2 I made heavy use of the "value" mode for the paintbrush to do shading on layers with alpha channels.  This would let me shade only the actual painted areas of the layer without altering the transparent areas whatsoever.  In 2.10, Gimp now edits the transparency as well as the colored pixels, meaning that I can no longer use this brush to shade the objects on a given layer without also darkening the transparency around those objects in an unwanted way.

Is there any way to set the brush so that when in value mode it only alters the pixels that have been painted and not the transparency?

EDIT: I just discovered the "legacy" setting, which lets me get around this. I assume this is the only way to get what I'm looking for?
-Thanks
