So - indeed, it is an UI issue -GIMP currently don't distinguish between resources, including brushes, which are marked as read only (either in the file system, or just marked as from a folder made read-only in the preferences). So, brush names for new brushes should be changeable - but to change the name of brushes that ship with GIMP you have to move then to a user writable location, and make the proper changes in the Brush folders page in the preferences. > > I notice also that there is a "filter" option and wondered how a person might > tag brushes with filterable options? Maybe you are mistaking the brush name for brush tags? Please take a look at the documentation and check if that is the case: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tagging.html > > I attached an image with a couple of screenshots added in case I am not being > clear - I don't know the names for the 'bits' and am just starting as a gimp > user. The mail list does not accept attached files - if I had not addressed your issues correctly, please post your image somewhere on the web and send us the link. Also, you can try e-mailing the user list instead of here - there should be more people willing to help with day-to-day using issues than here. > > Thanking you in advance for any advice you may be able to offer me, > > Andrew Francis > ____________ _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
