Now you can't see how to change the brush size, opacity, hardness or other similar options relative to whichever brush tool you're using. You just want to get that panel back! Easiest way is to double click on the tool you're using, like the brush tool. Then the panel appears over on the upper right of the screen and you can drag it back to dock on the bottom left where it previously was. Another option is to go to Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Tool Options. Again, you might have to drag it from the upper right to lower left if you prefer the traditional location; it's picky in that you have to grab it by the little tab and move it to where the little tabs are on the left dock where device status, undo history, etc is probably located.*Exit Gimp. *Copy either arrow.scm or arrow_V3.scm into /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scriptsThe scm file you use depends on your version of Gimp. The arrow_V3.scm should check that you are running V2.99.14 or later. If you are using GIMP V2.10.x you need to use file arrow.scm.To use the arrow script you have to "create paths." If you are not familiar with creating paths start by making sure you select the "Paths Tool" which is different from the Paintbrush tool.# click on the Paths Tool# make sure the Paths Tool is set to "Design" for the paths edit mode# on canvas using Paths Tool you will have to make 3 total clicks! First is where the head of the arrow will appear. Second and Third define the tail direction. For the second and third click if you do them in the same spot then you will have a straight arrow.# On Gimp menu click Tools -> Arrow -> Arrow* The arrow head will appear on the first click point you made in your path!* It is recommended you take some time to get familiar with the Paths Tool.Script '''arrow.scm''' obtained from [https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Arrow-Script Gimp-Forum.net › GIMP › Extending the GIMP › Arrow Script] by ''Berengar W. Lehr'' last revision '''13/10/2022''' is verified to work with '''Gimp version 2.10.30''' on Linux Mint 21.1 and is pretty slick to boot!
