I want to just draw a simple line in GIMP. The usual method, which I'm sure worked before, is to use a path then stroke it.

I selected the path tool, then clicked 2 points to make a straight line between them. Then I clicked the "Stroke path" button on the Toolbox window, and selected a size with what looks like standard options. But no line appears.

The path is showing in the Paths tab of the Layers window. Right clicking this and choosing stroke doesn't appear to do anything either. Did I miss something?

Interesting, I could not get the stroke path button in the Paths dialog to work either. Then I tried the menu entry Edit/Stroke Paths and it worked and after that the Paths dialog stroke paths button worked. – W_Whalley Nov 11 '11 at 16:45
same problem here! – thias Nov 25 '11 at 13:05
What's confusing is sometimes this works fine. I created a new image just now, made a path, then stroked it and voila, perfect. – DisgruntledGoat Nov 25 '11 at 16:14
Were you in the right level? – clabacchio Mar 30 at 8:26
@clabacchio I don't know what you mean, what is a level in your context? – DisgruntledGoat Mar 30 at 10:57
