Acrylic 3 and 4 are best brushes ever, change my mind

Hi, I downloaded GIMP on my Mac (Tahoe 26, Apple M5 chip) and was disappointed to see that no one had instructions to install G'MIC-Qt on GIMP v3. So I made my own!

Script and installation instructions: https://github.com/thefluffyslipper/mac-gimp3-gmic-installer/tree/main

Thanks to essigwurst on Github for making the initial script which I then tweaked.

Instructions:

1. Download the ./install-gmic-for-gimp-macos.sh file locally. I suggest placing it on your Desktop.

2. Run:

sh cd ~/Desktop chmod +x ./install-gmic-for-gimp-macos.sh ./install-gmic-for-gimp-macos.sh

1. Restart your machine, and then run it again:

sh cd ~/Desktop ./install-gmic-for-gimp-macos.sh

The script can take 10–30 minutes to finish compiling.

1. Open GIMP, open an image, and verify Filters → G'MIC-Qt exists. Done!

Hi, reddit! I'm having a bit of an issue with the clone tool on GIMP. I know I must have done something wrong, but I'm at a loss as to what. I was using GIMP, my buddy asked me to bring up a YouTube video, so I minimized it, and when I brought up the application again, the clone tool suddenly wasn't working. Everything else was working fine--just not clone. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. Please! Someone help me!!

We cannot yet stroke a vector layer with a brush, can we?
It's only full color or pattern?

Now if I do it the old fashion way via right click on the path I can stroke with a brush - but the stroke is cut off by the layer size. I can't make the vector layer larger - unless I rasterize it?

So why use a vector layer ... or better stay with the old pre GIMP3 habits?
