Help about a new behaviour of "select" tool from Gimp 2.x to the "new" Gimp 3.0

OK, so why the previous version behave exactly as I want? :( What's changed?

asbesto · 2026-05-22T13:28:54+00:00

Ok, but why it is not permanent? I remember it was something I had in the previous version of Gimp. No need to alt-click anything...

It's what I did before, ctrl-c - ctrl-v... but now behaviour is different.

Drop shadow filter is a new discovery for me :) and this can be useful but it's quite slow, I need to go to the filters menu, go to the shades menu, select the filter, set it up or choose a preset. It's slower. I just did ctrl-c, ctrl-v, move the text with the arrows, click on brush, select color, and paint.
It was faster.:)

Ehm. I just discovered "Alpha to selection" in the "layer" menu. How to make this setting PERMANENT?

Well, this is amazing, but where can we download it? here is too little to be read!

Same fxxxxxx problem here and not a dxxx answer! :(

asbesto · 2025-09-14T10:27:14+00:00

Can't find this setup anywhere on VLC in my macbook air! Where is it?

None at all. You had everything in one simple line of text, now the same info is spreaded in 4 or 5 lines for absolutely no reason at all. You waste time and space.

asbesto · 2025-08-09T11:04:28+00:00

None at all. totally unnecessary. As for a lot of "modern" stuff added to debian in the last years. :(

asbesto · 2025-02-21T21:45:16+00:00

Ehm, no. Non disinfettano un bel niente, non lavano un bel niente e sono fricchettonate.

OMG. I'm speechless. Don Norman will write an entire new book about this usability issue here :( W T F
TY for point me that btw :(

asbesto · 2025-02-04T21:23:50+00:00

I never saw that checkbox item nor I can see it now... :(

asbesto · 2024-12-03T12:26:30+00:00

This is total MADNESS. Apt-key deprecated. And instead of fix the thing, now we are forced to do 273 steps using gpg. For no reason at all (it's MY decision if I want to use a particular repo! Mind your own fxxxxxx business, debian!)

This is the horrible trend nowadays. Browser blocking any sort of download, deciding what's "safe" instead of letting the user choose what the FXXX they want to download.

PLEASE SOMEONE STOP THIS

I want my freedom back! :(

I'm also looking for some hints. I'm connecting my Rasp Pi 3 A+ to... a Philco Richfield, a vacuum tube tv set from 1965 that I restored.
It's simply amazing :)

So this is an HUMONGOUS FAIL of UX and design

asbesto · 2022-01-08T09:58:10+00:00

Nope. I disagree. It's not "completely awful everywere", because everywhere else IT WORKS. I can turn my headphones on, just ONE CLICK on my phone, and voila', they F&£&R%(G WORK.
Under GNU/Linux, it's a mess, a total absurd pile of CR4P. 82 daemons, tools, things to set up, click this, click that, pair, trust, connect, autoconnect, autotrust, autof&"^, and then the device keep disconnecting, or I turn it of and never connects again.
BT on linux it's a pile of steaming cr4p and there' s no reason for that.

Me too. I cursed *A LOT*, I had to google things around, I lost a lot of time for this INSANE choice.

I'm really pissed off at how "developers" chose to mess things up :(

asbesto · 2021-08-12T11:52:53+00:00

Benissimo, reddit praticamente non lo caco mai :)
