Where goes America (?)

I'm a simple user of image editors, unfortunately it appears you have to be a professional editor to even attempt to use Gimp.

What I do is crop, resize, draw text, draw arrows from a to b (text to subject of text).  Everyone seem to recommend brushes, but from my attempts that is not possible, for starters you don't define 'a' & 'b" and can't change the length.  All of this is relatively trivial in Paint.Net and some other editors, I just thought I'd try GIMP out.  I have looked for and failed to find much in the way of tutorials on any of the basics.

Am I missing something? Or is it not possible to draw arrows (a modified straight line with arrow head) in GIMP?

Unclear if this question should be posted on a gimp forum or an xnviewmp forum.  Because there may be an obscure gimp setting, I am trying this gimp forum first.

I just installed Linux Mint 22, and then xmviewmp 1.8.7 64-big (Linux) - Libformat 7.220 and then gimp 2.10.36.  Then, I used xnviewmp's open with : configure : gimp facility to start gimp from inside xnviewmp by right-clicking on an image.  Doing this, gimp opens the image okay, but has an annoying popup message "Opening /home/steve failed : Not a regular file."  I have unsuccessfully tried variations of the [ xnviewmp : open with : gimp ] facility.  For example, if I instead specify gimp.sh, which contains the command gimp-2.10 %U, xnviewmp does nothing.  Alternatively, if I xnviewmp-configure gimp to start with the %U option, then I get two popup error messages. 

I would like to find a gimp setting (or alternatively a xnviewmp setting) that will prevent any such popup message.  Before posting, I attempted to research the problem.  I found similar postings that were not exactly on point.  I did notice that responders were interested in gimp's interaction with bash, so I experimented: 

• When I start gimp, by itself, with the icon-command = gimp-2.10 %U, there is no problem opening/manipulating images.
  
  
• When I open a bash termimal and execute gimp-2.10, again there is no problem.
  
  
• However, if (instead) I open a bash terminal and execute gimp-2.10 %U, then I get the error message: "Opening /home/steve/%U failed: Error opening file /home/steve/%U: No such file or directory",

Hi everybody,

I'm facing a serious problem when porting a plugin I wrote in Gimp 2.10 to Gimp 3.0 in python.

In Gimp 2, I used the following way to the color index of each pixel. It works very well:

Hi all,

I'm having trouble performing some basic tasks in Gimp 3. I'm not sure if they're bugs (in which case I will submit a report), or if the functionality has changed and I'm using it the wrong way. I commonly need to splice  images of two or more people together. The general process is as follows:

1. use the selection tool to select part of  image A;
   
2. click Crop to Selection; 
   
3. resize the image to match the width or height of the new image I'm creating; 
   
4. use the Crop tool to crop a fixed size;
   
5. copy the resulting image and paste it into a new file;
   
6. use Align and Distribute tool to move it to one side of the new image;
   
7. repeat process with image B.
   

Hi, I am using Gimp 2.10.38 (revision 1) on mac. I properly selected the warp tool, (the hook) also showing next to the circle with crosshair in it.
I am not doing anything fancy, just bringing down the smile in a photo which needs to be serious. I remember from another famous editing software that my circle was large enough to include a large area aroud the mouth corner. Here my size is 104 and all I get is a 2 cm circle and a slight "indent" at the mouth corner  whereas  the video tutorials show larger circle impacting the whole mouth.

All of my brushes react properly when sized increased.Thanks a lot

Has anyone heard whether PyAstro3 will be updated to GIMP 3.0. So far unable to find contact address for author. Take care.

Hi. I'm attaching an image of what happens after I fuzzy select a selection and then fill that with the foreground color. I have fill settings to 100% opacity. Any idea why it would not only not be opaque, but it's leaving a blur outside of the selection. Thank you.

   

I'm trying to get a bash script to run after changing folders.

If I explicitly set the path to the python scripts it runs fine.

If I however omit the explicit path, even though the scripts are in my PYTHONPATH they are not recognized when running without
explicitly using sys.path.append

If I try and get the python path from inside the Gimp shell, it reports no key present instead of printing the PYTHONPATH like it does when not in the Gimp shell.

As stated in the title I have the flatpak version so my question is how do I get it to use my current PYTHONPATH?

Also is it possible to use packages, and if so how.  I had a simple package, but when functions were called from a bash script, they would fail with the internal imports in the package failing.  An example is below:
