What is a most convenient way to export selected paths to SVG file? GIMP provides only 2 options for the export: export only one - "active" - path, or export all paths. It's not very useful in my case. I have an image with several layers and a bunch of paths related to different layers. So I need to export only paths which "belong" to a selected layer, so to speak. Of course, I can edit SVG by hands, but I wonder if some decent tools there exist for this task.
Fairly new to gimp, using Mac 2.8 version. Problem is I have created multiple paths of text but none of them export (I have tried jpeg, gif, tif). They save to the gimp format but even when I try to print directly from gimp the text paths do not show up.
When I export an FBX file from 3DS Max it is using the full path to each texture. I would like it to either use a relative path or just export the name of each texture without any path. How can I do this?
I'v seen for exporting a path to illustrator, they mention the File>Export>Export Paths to Illustrator option. When I look under "Export", the only options I get are:
Data sets as files... Render Video... Zoomify
I can still drag/cut/paste the path into Illustrator, so I haven't been stopped, but why the export option isn't showing up?
I have a PSD which has a layer with a path (vector) on it. In Photoshop this can be manipulated as a path/vector. In GIMP it is just treated as a bitmap. I can see how I can draw new paths, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the imported path. Is there something I need to do to make it recognize the paths?
I started using GIMP on a PC a couple of months ago after developing skills in PS over the years on my Macs at home and at work.
I like GIMP and it's stable nature along with everything else... in addition to allot of standard photo editing and graphics creation, I recently used it for some of the animation filters, which are nice.
The only problem I'm having is that when I create a path, or multiple paths, and have them in the paths palette, after I save and close the file that contains the paths, the next time I open that file my paths are gone... completely disappeared.
How to create a lisp to automatically export attributes from selected blocks to defined txt file without having to everytime confirm the file name, location and if the file shall be replaced?
Meaning is that I often export attributes to txt file for further use. It is always the same file (I just overwrite it always).
The way I do it now is selecting blocks, using ATTOUT command, then going to the desktop, selecting ATT.txt file and confirming that it is to be replaced.
Is there a way to make lisp or script that will just do all it in at once?
I found on forum such a lisp as below, but it exports all ablocks on drawing and it exports to txt file which is located in same place as drawing and with same name as drawing. Tried to modify it but without success:
I am wondering if there is a way to put the old save method back into the new gimp 2.7.3. I would like to be able to export to a new file format and automatically be using that file instead of the original file that I have just opened. If there is a plugin like this that would be great.
Is there a method to return an array of paths in the order they were selected, instead of their descending z-index (default behaviour)?
I'm writing a script that "connects" the centers of currently selected objects through a stroked path, and I want it to follow the order in which I select the objects, regardless of the stacking order.
I have recently upgraded to 2.8 and am having problems with export to jpg, as opposed to old system of 'Save As" jpg.
When "Show preview in image window" is ticked, File size always appears as 1.3GB. If 'Quality' is reduced, file size displayed does not change to a new reading as it used to.
When I go ahead and export, the file is much smaller than 1.3GB. What do I need to do to get the file size in 'Export Image as JPEG' window to show an accurate file size?
I am creating a gif animation with GIMP 2.8.6 in Windows 7 64 bits.
I open the png files with the option "Open as layers" and then I edit the name of each layer setting the delay and the mode, for example "layer1(1000 ms)(replace)", "layer2(5000 ms)(replace)", ...
If I go to "Filters->Animation->Reproduce" the animation is OK. But if I export the file to a .gif file, the delay between layers is the specified in the Export options and not the delay which I set in the name of the layers.
How can I export a .gif file with the delay specified in the name of layers?
I just downloaded GIMP 2.8.2 for MAC and I'm trying to export a file to other formats (PGN, JPEG etc. The export image window greys out and nothing happens for many minutes.
I finally give up and I get this error: Saving '/Users/muladhara2004/Desktop/filename.png' failed: Procedure 'file-png-save-defaults' returned no return values
I'll try to write this logically, but as logic has failed to get me the output I want, I suspect somewhere there will be something highly illogical...
I am trying to export a JPEG file, complete with images. I have setup the original file to 2362x602 pixels, at 300 ppi (making a canvas approximately 200x50mm). This is confirmed through Image -> Canvas Size.
Now if I want to print to paper, I can check the settings through Image -> Print Size, to confirm what size I will get.
What I want is to be able to do the same thing for an export jpg function. I need the JPG to come out at a specific dimension, not a specific pixel size. If I export my file now (File -> Export) as a jpg, I end up with a jpeg much wider than 200mm. A quick rightclick->properties shows me the jpg is still 2362x602 pixels, at '300dpi.' So why is that not the size I expect it to be?
I have 33 images and each image has a white background. To make an animated .gif file I open the 33 images in GIMP 2.8.2 as individual layers and export as a .gif file. For some reason though, when it creates the .gif file, the background turns blue?
Is there any way to Export Selected Objects in Illustrator? I am working on a website sketch and i will need to include things outside the frame. When i select Export (or save as PDF) even if i have all objects selected i just get the JPG with the A4 paper.
I am a graphics designer that uses GIMP and Cinema 4D on Wine. I find it very difficult to be able to take logos that I have made and have them be compatable with C4D. If there is a function already that makes this possible that would be great but for now I can's seem to find one.
I just downloaded Gimp yesterday and it is way different than the version I had on my last computer. I have things figured out for the most part, the main function I can't seem to find is how to "Simplify" paths. It seems like I used to use CTRL L or something like that and it would smooth out my lines a bit.
I have a script which saves the flat pattern from a sheet metal part as a dxf file. But we also have standard part files that we save a face as a flat pattern. So I'm looking to be able to select a face then run a script to save the selected face as a flat pattern in a dxf file.
I'm in a situation where i have to export a civil3d 2013 drawing to autocad 2000, but i don't want to send everything in the drawing, just the final drawing from model space. is there a way to not need export the drawing and then delete the objects i don't want to send? It seems like a simple task but i work with some people that can't handle simple things like that, so aside from trying to find new co-workers, what can i do?
I'd like to save a position representation to an image, but if I do this, it will save the master representation. So, how can I export a selected view?

I download the Gimp 2.8 and have a lot of prolems with it.... Today I can´t find the history of the paths. Where is it? I can´t use path two times if I need. Sweet Gimp 2.6...
I've been trying to learn how to use the paths tool to edit thing's out and what not - whenever i try to make the last connection though it just turns into a curve automation thing and seems to mess thing's up?
I've attached images of how the first and the last line look.
I can't get the path tool to give me handles. I create a path with two points and when I grab the segment and drag it the anchors move with it. This used to work fine where the anchors would stay and the dotted lines and handles would pop out and I could manipulate the handles. I recently reloaded my system so has something changed? I'm using the latest stable Debian and it looks like Gimp 2.6 is loaded.
I've worked out how to use paths, so I can make text appear along a curve which is great. My problem is that I have a logo and I want text curving around the top of it, and then some text curving around the bottom (curving upwards). There is more text on the top curve so it fills the entire path, but the text at the bottom is shorter and so it doesn't reach the end, it justifies to the left of the path. How do I position it so that it aligned to the centre of the path (it doesn't necessarily have to take up the entire length of the path, I just want it to be central to the logo above it.
Where i could find those ribbon icons in max, for example am adding the export selected command which has an icon when you do file export, but when i add it to the ribbon it says missing icon, and i only have a modeling folder and object paint folder with icons.
I would like to be able to export the description column of a BOM to an excel file, and exclude all the other data. I can't see any reference to doing this in the API. We have almost 20 columns so deleting them once the file is made is a bit of a pain.
