What is the syntax to set a layergroup (and possibly a layer within it) as active?

I have looked through the console and searched the web without success.

If, for instance, I wish to insert a layer it is straight forward - I can specify parent and position.
Should not the same syntax apply to other layer commands, or is it that the console has not been updated?

I have no idea what key stroke i accidently did, but I can not get out of this view (see pic).  I tried the undo button, looking under the view tab and selecting different options and it doesn't go back to the orignal view of toolboxes, history, layers, etc.  Please help!

Hi there,

I have an image I would like to make larger so it fills the template I've created. The template size is 12x12 inches, however, I'm unable to increase the size of the image I've added to it (have tried Image > Scale Image and also pulling the corners while holding 'command').

Any ideas how I can increase the size of the image? Thanks!

HELP! I'm using GIMP 2.10.34 on my Mac Book Pro.(Ventura 3.0) This problem started 3 days ago. The paint brush tool stays in the shape of a thin pencil with a point on each end. I want it to go to the round dot pattern but it won't change. I reset GIMP in the preferences window manager, and also the reset button but it didn't work. I downloaded a new version of GIMP 2.10.34 (Revision 1) and still have same problem. I have toggled every drawing tool as well. Is there a later version I should try?

I have been doing textures for minecraft, and changed the scale from 16x to 32x, and some pixels became half-transparent. I have my interpolation set to cubic and dont want to change it because it automatically makes the texture look like 32x. Is there any tool that can make them un-transparent while leaving the color unchanged? Here is what i mean:

Hi, could someone please help me?
Gimp is putting the wrong colours on screen. I have checked that the image is in RGB mode, all RGB channels are selected, and that the layer and tool settings are 'normal'. I've also tried using different colour settings (8,16,32 bit), but it made no difference. I have even re-installed Gimp but it's still the same. I'm no expert, but I've used Gimp regularly before and have never had this problem.
For example: I have a colour on screen. I choose that colour with the colour picker and it shows 325365 hex. Then if I select a tool and draw or fill an area in that colour, I can see it looks different, and if I colour pick that area, it shows 3e5364 hex. What on earth is going on?
Forgot to say, I'm using Gimp 2.10.8 on linux.

Hi All, I'm using gimp 2.10 on a windows 10 box. When I clothify a 12mb png file, the exported png file is 378mb!
Why does this happen?

If I am not mistaken, when using the Export feature it is currently impossible to:

A] make the option Show All Files always be selected

B] make the Select File Type option always be selected thus unfolded - and hence revealing all possible file formats without a need for clicking to see their list

C] make it remember the last manually chosen file format so that it would not have to be re-selected when repeating Export tasks

D] choose a default file format that would be applied to the first Export job every time when GIMP is [re]opened

E] increase vertical size of that shown sub-window holding the list of file formats

F] increase horizontal size of Places and Preview sub-windows areas

?

If yes - then I would like to suggest making according changes to GIMP for implementation of the above options
