You need to install the plug-in arrows creator. After installing, restart Gimp.
Extensions> Plugins-Python> Tools> ArrowsCreator.

Thank you Carlos, I forgot I had this plug-in. Works great.

After installing the file in the plugin folder this message appears. What to do? :oops:

Did you place this file in your plug-ins, it has to be the .py file

Thanks for your patience and advice Carlos and Molly, it finally works :hi5

Using the Multi-Replicate option, the bottom of the arrow doesn’t stay in the center.
In my opinion, rotating manual is a much accurate way, however it takes a lot more time.

But for now I can’t stand anymore clocks :roll:

Ella Louise, in my opinion, it is worth learning to use "multi-replicate" even if we lost a lot of time initially. It will be very useful in future.
Your watch is perfect.

I still became the same outcome with the arrows than the one I posted before. So I had to cheat a little bit :oops:

But I totally agree with you, Carlos. The more you know about the possibilities of Gimp the more creative you can be.
The circles and buttons of the simple stopwatch I designed, were made by techniques I’ve learned from other tutorials.
I’m always willing to improve and very grateful for any help and comments of other GC members.

Ella Louise, you wrote: "Using the Multi-Replicate option, the bottom of the arrow doesn’t stay in the center."
Take a look at the settings I used when applying "multi-replicate." Maybe you forgot to uncheck the option "Autocrop layers copies." This happened to me also and I could not make the arrow stay in the center.

Carlos, I tried it again and now it works, the bottom of the arrow stays in the center.
Probably you were right about forgetting to uncheck the "Autocrop layers copies".
Thanks for the help.

I wish someone would teach me how to put the images within the text immediately after the item to which it refers. I find it odd that when I insert the images they appear in reverse order of insertion.

Do you mean here on the forum?
I always click Post Reply and upload the images there, not in attachments.
You can place them in any order you like.

Maybe I didn’t quite understood what you meant :oops:

but I quoted your question so maybe someone else can give you advice.
I’m just a newbie

OK. Thanks for the information on how to insert image. I was getting mixed up with attachments.
