Hi! I wondered if it exists in gimp a way to link subsequent operations so that editing one of them influences the others. I'd like, for example, to write a text, create a path from it, and then have the path modified automatically as I edit the original text

I guess you mean non-destructive image editing. It will be in GIMP 2.10. We have no release date for it yet.

Kind regards,

What other epic news that contradict the existing roadmap did I miss?

Having non-destructive image editing sooner is interesting. But please update the roadmap if that is the case now.

Kind regards.

It's exactly what I meant! Thank you!

There won't be non-destructive editing in 2.10.

Ok guys, I was wrong.
Having such capabilities in GEGL let me assume wrong that GIMP will inherit them with the GEGL port, which is planned for version 2.10.

@dvdma: I'm sorry we don't have this feature yet and it won't be in GIMP soon.
Perhaps you can get help in another way here. A path is an aid to achieve something other useful. What output are you trying to achieve by creating a path from a text?

Kind regards,

I just wanted to outline the text as it is explained here http://www.gimpology.com/submission/view/how_to_outline_text but, as I had to modify the original text many times, I wanted to know if there was a quicker way than repeating the process every time I had to change a single character

Hi,

I see two solutions for your problem:

1) Use an outline font. 2) Use Inkscape: type your text, then open the Fillings and Strokes dialog, set the Filling to None and a Stroke to a solid color of your needs. I you want to tweak it it's easy to play around and explore.

It both cases you can later edit your text while keeping the visual design.

Kind regards,

Sven
