[Gimp-user] I don't understand how GIMP treat pasted selection -- something with a floating anchor
From: Cristian Secar? or...@secarica.ro the first paste action the new created layer remain there for ever, even after six or ten thousands other further actions. I only want to combine layers when I give the command to flatten the image. That was a usability issue in older version of Gimp is solved now in gimp 2.6. Simply instead then copy and paste, you have to copy and PASTE AS/New Layer. Unfortunately the Gimp Help is not yet fully updated to Gimp 2.6 so the function may be not described there , but luckily is sufficent simple to not require documentation, just is needed to notice that menu option Another similar functions that avoid the user to have to unnecessary fiddle with floating selection in gimp 2.6 is Layer/new layer from visible. Paste as as also other useful options i.e. paste as new imagine ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Autosizing text to fit a fixed width?
Hello, Is there a way to create a single-line fixed width text box in GIMP such that the text inside starts out at some desired size, but is automatically shrunk in size to fit the width of the box if the supplied text is too long. -- Thank you ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Has anyone encountered this?
I have been playing with Gimp for about a year now. It is a pretty rich featured application and I'm happy with it's output. It's not Photoshop but if you do the budget, it becomes $800+ versus $0. Kind of a no-brainer. I'm building a banner for a particular page on our website. I have repetitive layers that I move around (M key). Everything has gone along just fine. I can move each layer to where I want it and then fix each layer to the entire canvas. OK. Good right? Not!!! Now when I am down to the very last two layers, the move function has been lost, with the icon showing the cross through the circle indicating the layer can't be moved. What the heck is up with that? I never had that issue in Photoshop. Anyone seen this before? -- Dave ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Win32: Use standard Windows File Open/Save dialog

Also the file open dialog appeared behind the image window. At least the first issue can easily be addressed. The plug-in should use the empty string as image-type parameter in the procedure registration. It probably uses * which means activate this plug-in if there's an image, no matter what image type.

I got around it but I still don't know how. Not complaining considering the cost of this app. I wish I could tell you how.
