@GIMP Why is GIMP so un-intuitive?Why can't layers on GIMP just act normal. The path tool - Fill path and Stroke path doesn't work properly. Why can't things just be normal with GIMP?

@mortal_engine We wouldn’t want to be _normal_. We want to be _special_!Work properly? Whatever can you mean?I know you’re frustrated, but there isn’t really a good response to your questions.“intuitive” means “i can predict how it will behave based on my knowledge” but what knowledge do you bring to GIMP?If it helps - make sure to keep a careful eye on Tool Options as you work. Beyond that, I dont know what you expect that’s different.

@GIMP Recently two file were openOn one I was working for 2 hours, when the I closed the other file I no longer needed, GIMP just closed everything without even asking anything. What a waste of time and effort. This happened many times.

@mortal_engine Which GIMP version? On the Mac? Which version exactly? How much memory (RAM) does your system have?

@vegos_f06 @GIMP Nope. GIMP works the way it works. It feels like it doesn't listen to users like me - maybe skill issue.I never used Adobe in my life BTW.

@mortal_engine @vegos_f06 we’d still like to know more about what is going on for you.The paths in GIMP are getting revamped a bit to support vector layers in 3.2 by the way, although it’s a bit of a hidden feature right now.

@GIMP @vegos_f06 Suppose I'm working using the Text tool and I need to move the text box after typing, for this default keyboard shortcut 'M' which is just pointless, so I've customized the Key to Ctrl+ Shift+M. Suppose I've used Ctrl+Shift+M and I need to move the text box using the cursor - for this I specially have to click and hold on any text inside the box to move. Why not just clicking on any part of the text box allow to move? - it just moves the whole BG layer. Isn't it weird?

@GIMP @vegos_f06 I'd love to give feedback for GIMP for improvement, let me know where to post them, I know Mastodon isn't the right place for Feedback.

@mortal_engine @vegos_f06 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues for general issues; there is also a separate place for USX issues but we can move things to that if needed.

@mortal_engine @vegos_f06 we do have a bug report for this one actually. Also, if you set the move tool to move the active layer (in tool options) then yu can click anywhere in the rectangle i think. Also while the text tool is active you can hold down alt to move the layer.

You have to precisely point the cursor to the pixels occupied by the characters in order to move the text instead of the background. Learned it from my own mistakes heheh :gimp: ✅CC: @mortal_engine@mastodon.social @vegos_f06@friendica.opensocial.space#GIMP #tips

@daltux @mortal_engine @vegos_f06 If you set the move tool (in GIMP 3) to move the active layer, you don't have to click on text pixels exactly. And you don't if you hold down ALT while the text tool is active either, although in that case you only get to preview the rectangle, not the text, as you drag.
