  Spell checker
Posted by: DrDoctor - 12-25-2017, 12:38 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Does GIMP have any kind of spell checking tool/solution for the text tool?
Found nothing in this forum, nothing in the old gimpforum forum, couldn't find any obvious plugins in the plugins repo either.

  delete not working
Posted by: garyartista - 12-23-2017, 03:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

I am using gimp 2.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 with a Wacom Tablet.  The problem is that even after reinstalling Gimp the erase key fails to work.  It continues to paint, say, and refuses to switch to erase.  I can make text boxes and use other tools but the program refuses to switch to erase.  If I change the file .gimp2.8 to gimp2.8delete or something and reinitiate Gimp, erase works for a few minutes and the problem returns.  The problem occurs whether I use the tablet or the mouse.  Any thoughts?

I could not find any OSX 2.9.8 version on https://www.gimp.org/downloads/, and I can't find any older version either. Are there any 2.9 versions for mac?

  Move a text layer.
Posted by: ssallen - 12-22-2017, 04:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Is there a way to do this?  The move tool doesn't work on text layers apparently.
I create a lot of text layers programatically and I don't want to have to use the resize tools afterwards just to move the text around. I want the same dimensions... just placed in a different location.

Does anyone have a any tips or tricks for this?

  Docking the tool options in toolbox
Posted by: jerryemerydelacruz - 12-22-2017, 04:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

How do I re-dock the tool options dialogue in the toolbox.  So far, the only way I can get it to dock is to reinstall gimp, which doesn't take more than a few minutes, but there has to be a better way.

  settings palette disappeared
Posted by: gib65 - 12-22-2017, 04:05 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello,

Somehow the settings palette for each tool has disappeared and I can get it back. By 'settings palette', I mean, for example, the palette on which I can choose remove, union, intersection, etc. for the magic wand select tool, or the line thickness of the free form pencil tool. There is nothing in the recently closed windows list. Reinstalling Gimp didn't work. How do I get it back?

Thanks

  Scheme help (unbound error)
Posted by: ssallen - 12-21-2017, 08:31 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (3)

See below.
I get a g1Layer is unbound error, despite the fact that (non-empty) text is being passed in to the g1Text parameter.
The intent is to create a text layer and then position a comic book style talk bubble underneath it.

Can you place conditionals inside the local variable declaration area in scheme? How do I prevent bubbles/text layer being created if the user passes in a blank string?


Code:

  Warp / transform image along path
Posted by: asdthy - 12-20-2017, 11:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi,
I'd like to shift an image to fit a path that I've drawn. There used to be a plugin/script that did this but i can't find it anymore.
I have a few scanned images from paper sections that were a meter or more long and the images are skewed along the length varying amounts somewhat randomly.
Basically I'd draw a path along one border line of the skewed image. I'd then draw horizontal path. The plugin would subtract the space between the 2 paths in line with the vertical direction of the image.
This worked really well and  I have some other cases where I'd like to do this, but as I said I can't find the plugin anymore.

Has anyone ever done something like this or have any ideas? 

Thanks
Matt
