I'm using GIMP 2.8 on a windows machine. In single window mode I accidentally dragged the edge of the toolbox across my window and now it won't drag back. I get the resizer double-headed arrow but the edge won't move. I don't know what to do. It's entirely unusable in single window mode now, which is what I usually use.

As a new user I really prefer the single window mode but have a real problem in that every time I open a filter the window/box that open opens up underneath the single window and I cant see it without minimising the main gimp window. I've played with the preferences windows management options and seem to have all the file options curves etc on top now (these were opening under the single window at one point) but nothing I do seems to want to make the filter boxes open where I can see them - It's making GIMP quite unpleasant to use.

I've lost the layer box in single window mode. I can get it back if I re-install, but I do not want to loose and the added scripts. How does one get it to load back into the window. (running mac).

I then ask for a new tool bar which is provided and locked to the widow. if i go to full screen and then back the picture is pushed down as are the ruler zero's and i now can't get to the bottom of the screen. this annoying behavior does not seem to happen in multi window mode. attached is a screen capture.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn Windows 7 Home Premium x64, GIMP does not properly restore the position of the Toolbox window with "Save window positions on exit" checked in Preferences > Window Management. The Toolbox window does retain its size, but is placed in a seemingly random place in the top-left area of the screen every time GIMP is launched. Other windows retain their size and shape perfectly. I've searched for a solution to this problem but couldn't find one.

If I select another tool via the tool bar, or short cut, the tool bar on the top line changes appropriately, but the tool icon in the window remains the hand (move tool). The only way I have found to resolve is close PS and re-boot the PC.

If I let it have its way, it pastes in a previous copy. After pasting, I try to copy again, but the paste function is the only one active. I can not get PS CS3 to let me do a copy.

I've been a Gimp user for a while, and I recently upgraded my not-so-reliable Windows PC to a Mac Mini running OSX Lion.
However, after installing the Snow Leopard version of Gimp (which works fine otherwise), I have found that unlike the Windows and Linux versions of Gimp, the toolbox does not stay on top of the other Gimp windows.
(Windows XP)The toolbox and the layers-brush box are always appearing on my system when GIMP is running.
I can minimize all my GIMP windows, but those boxes stay up.
I can "show desktop" and they will disappear but then the moment any other window is up, they appear once again.
This gets very annoying when I leave GIMP open while working on other things.
Is there any way I can set them to minimize when all the other GIMP windows are minimized?
I'm using 2.8.4 in multi windows mode fullscreen. Sometimes the toolbox willdisappear. I have to hit my Windows key and then click on Gimp in the Windowstoolbar to make it come back.
I'd really like to have an option to dock the toolbar and have the dialogs openin new windows. I keep my screen real estate maximized. My tool box is 2 columnswide and squashed to the limit. Not only is it an extra step to undock dialogsin single window mode, I have to widen my toolbox to get to the tab to drag thebox.
I am in no way upset about any of this. Gimp has saved me a few hundred dollars. [URL]....
Using Windows 7 with Gimp 2.6.8 I can't hide the toolbox. If I click on the x-box the entire app closes. I can't see anything in Preferences. ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have had a bad problem with GIMP 3.8 on Ubuntu 13.04 x64 the last few weeks
Basically, every icon in the toolbox has a large empty space to the right of it. The occurs both in single window view and in modal view.
When I resize the toolbox the icons keep this right space around them, always re-positioning so that most of the icons are not included in the toolbox.
The only way I can see all the tools is to reduce the width of the toolbox to one icon, then they all line up vertically. But I have having it set up like this, and even then the last few are cut off by the bottom of the screen.
I have gone through all the settings menus and can't seem to find anything about it. I removed GIMP with the --purge option and reinstalled; this fixed it for a day, now it's right back to where it was.
I have just loaded 2.8 with much anticipation and found that the default toolbox is fixed on the right-hand side of the screen adjacent to the dock able toolbars.
Is this normal for 2.8? It seems weird that it would now be positioned on the right.
I'm running GIMP on a Mac.So I was happily editing a photo, everything going perfectly great, when I must have inadvertently hit a certain key, and now the bottom half of the toolbox is gone.In its place is a message that reads "You can drag dockable dialogs here."
If I want to use the clone tool, I can't see where to choose a brush and select its size. If I zoom into an image. I don't have the Zoom Out tool to click on. I want it to be the way it was, with the Toolbox Option located directly below the toolbox, the way it was when I first got it.
On the GIMP home page it says GIMP v2.8 was released on 2012-05-03.On the downloads page it says for Ubuntu use the Ubuntu Software Centre.That only has v2.6.12 .There doesn't seem to be any other way of getting it.
I want the latest version because various posts indicate the counter-intuitive behaviour of Toolbox Window etc has changed, and it seems pointless to complain if it has already been fixed.
My question on v2.6.12 is: since there are only 3 tools in the Toolbox that I ever use,and no buttons to bring up the Brightness/Contrast dialog etc,how do I change the contents of Toolbox ?In most apps, for example Firefox, you have View > Toolbars > Customiseand can then drag and drop the buttons you use regularly from/to a pool of buttons.
I thought there must be at least a plug-in that does that, because it is so obvious,but the plug-ins registry doesn't seem to have anything like that under Toolbox or Toolbar.
I've tried the standard solution of File>Windows>Dialog boxes>layers
But that does absolutely nothing. Pressing CTRL+L does not produce the box either. Since its a fresh install and i have not closed it by accident i cannot reopen it using the recently closed windows option.
Is the layers box docked to another window by default maybe?
Also when i make a selection and paste it into as a new image with a transparent background the selection becomes transparent and i don't know how to make it fully opaque.
Just got started with GIMP as a trial to see if I don't have to buy Photoshop since I upgraded my Mac from powerPC to Intel...
The problem: When I want to use a tool and put the cursor over it, a tool about 15 icons below it gets selected.
I get this with the mouse and the pen tablet.
I use Mac OSX 10.8.2
