.ora export - TheRambler - 05-31-2025
Hi
I have gimp 3.04 on windows 11 x64.
Everything worked well with Gimp 2.0 etc.
I use Gimp to create texts and images into .png files these files are then put into an authoring software.
What I generally did is that I exported the different layers into an .ora file that was then changed into a zip file
and I had my layers with my transparency and my text for the menu, film, bonus, and so on.
now I don't have any transparency I just have the cropped images with nothing in it, no text.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue ?
And another problem how can you create an 1920x1080 image with transparency background,
everything has changed I'm kind of lost...It always makes an image with the background color.
Best

First the easy bit: As programmer_ceds described.

Then the open raster format .ora problem. After a bit of experimenting, it does look like a bug.
I would send a bug report maybe with an example file to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues
For example, A Gimp 3 structure (1) A set of layers, mixed graphics and text. I put a "new-from-visible" on top just as a record of what it should look like. Export as a .ora file and re-open where it now looks like (2)

I have tried opening that ora file in both MyPaint and Krita and they show the same scrambled image.

Looks like the devs are already aware of a problem, but I posted a bug report anyway

RE: .ora export - CmykStudent - 06-01-2025
TheRambler: As a temporary fix, go to line 224 in file-openraster.py, drop down a line, and add this:
tmp_layer.set_visible (False)
That should fix export for you until we make a proper fix.
