Hi!
My nome is Filipe.
Valerie and I have done in recent weeks a package of paintbrushes and
stripped down to the GIMP. We hope that you, developers take a look at it.
He was evaluated by some GIMP artists and approved. :)

Good point.
In MyPaint I have solved this by copying the brush into the user directory
only when user modifies it.
Yeah,

Actually, I still don't see why Gimp can't either:
- move those fixed brushes to another directory
- or on the contrary, make a new default brush directory with
a new name, link the default brush directory to That,
while leaving scripts pointing to the old directory untouched.
Perhaps I have

Sorry, but I explained you in much detail that we have to keep the
default brushes for now (until we have coded a solution that doesn't
break scripts). Our only simple option at this point is to add some more

I am well aware of the technical reasons. That does not change it for
the user. From user POV they are non-editable clutter that you cant even
trim.

Why couldn't that copy be made for the user on profile creation?

Sure, that's why we keep asking for someone to improve
the collection of default brushes collection in GIMP
for some years now. So far there hasn't been much interest.
We also don't have a maintainer for the gimp-data-extras package.

There are some questions that need to be solved before we can do this though:
- How can the user resurrect brushes that she removed?
Reset default brushes button somewhere near brushes paths in
preferences that recopies them. Or the user can manually copy the ones

Hi I'm just a user of GIMP, not a developer.
I usually only use the brush-editor and just open the same
brush all the time and changing size and shape the way I need it.
I hardly ever use the default-brushes. So here is an idea I
thought of, when I read your discussion:
Why not set the
The root of the problem, really, is that gimp currently shows every
brush in its search path. There won't be any major improvement
until that basic problem is fixed, and the user is given control over
which brushes are available at any given moment. Fortunately,
there is an ongoing Summer of
What version of GIMP are you using? We replaced all the roundish
pixmap brushes with parametric ones for GIMP 2.4. The actual
problem is not that the brushes would be pixmap brushes. They
are just not editable because they are in the system brush
folder. What needs to be done is to add

I wholly agree. Those un-editable round brushes are
constantly in the way. Instead having a nice set of

would make much more sense.
Not entirely sure if that is needed. Texture brushes

Hi;
Thanks for the reference Valerie. I'm Filsd. :)
I agree with you. GIMP needs a new and revised set of default Brushes.
And in my experience as a professor of CG Art (using only open-source:
GIMP, blender...) I find many people that don't even think in GIMP as a

Note: the developers barely have to do a thing.
Half the current default is made up of non-editable round-ish
brushes (that in my opinion makes the brush editor hard to
discover, because new users end up wondering why the brush
editor never works. In fact, I start each new installation of
