This dialog shows a list of all paths present in the current image. For each path you can set their attributes, as explained below, and perform certain actions using the buttons at the bottom of the dialog, or using the context menu.

In multi-window mode, you can show the name of the active image at the top of the dock by choosing „Show Image Selection” from the Tab menu. This allows you to see at a glance to which image the paths you are working on belong.

În cazul în care lista nu este goală, la un moment dat unul dintre membri este imaginea activă, care va fi obiectul oricăror operațiuni pe care le efectuați utilizând meniul de dialog sau butoanele din partea de jos: calea activă este afișată evidențiată în listă. Făcând clic pe oricare dintre intrări va face calea activă.

Right-clicking on any entry in the list brings up the Paths Menu. You can also access the Paths Menu from the dialog Tab menu.

GIMP allows you to select multiple paths and perform actions on them, like stroking or filling. Selecting multiple paths is done by using the mouse and Shift key, for adding a range of paths, or Ctrl key, for adding or removing the clicked path.

Directly above the list of paths is the header bar. On the left you see the icons that identify the visibility and lock columns. In the middle a text label will tell you how many paths are currently selected if it is more than one.

On the right you see the search entry. Clicking here will allow you to search for and select one or more paths. You will also be able to save this search for future use.

For more details about searching see Search layers and Saved searches.

Every path is shown in the list with its own attributes, which are very similar to the layer attributes:

Below the paths list is a set of buttons that allow you to manage your paths by performing operations on them.

These buttons correspond to entries in the context menu (accessed by right-clicking on an entry in the list), but some of them have extra options obtainable by holding down modifier keys while pressing the button.

Edit Path is an alternative way to activate the Paths tool, used for creating and manipulating paths. It can also be activated from the Toolbox, or by using the keyboard shortcut B.

Editare atribute traseu deschide un mic dialog care vă permite să schimbați numele traseului. De asemenea, puteți face acest lucru făcând dublu clic pe numele din tabel în dialogul traseu.

Color Tags brings up a sub menu, similar to the one in the Layers Dialog, that allows you to select a color tag for the selected paths.

Traseu nou creează un traseu nou, îl adaugă la lista din dialogul trasee și o face calea activă pentru imagine. Acesta va deschide un dialog care vă permite să dați un nume traseului. Noul traseu este creat fără puncte de ancorare, astfel încât va trebui să utilizați instrumentul de cale să-i atribuie unele înainte de a putea fi folosit.

Raise Paths moves the selected paths one slot higher in the list in the Paths dialog.

The position of a path in the list has no functional significance, so this is simply a convenience to help you keep things organized.

Lower Pathsmoves the selected paths one slot lower in the list in the Paths dialog.

The position of a path in the list has no functional significance, so this is simply a convenience to help you keep things organized.

Duplicate Paths creates a copy of the selected paths, assigns unique names, adds it to the list in the Paths dialog, and makes it the selected paths for the image. The copies will be visible only if the original paths were visible.

Delete Paths deletes the currently selected paths.

Îmbinare trasee vizibile adună toate traseele din imaginea care sunt vizibile (toate cele pentru care simbolul „ochi deschis” apare în dialogul traseu), și le transformă în componentele unui singur traseu. Acest lucru poate fi convenabil, dacă doriți trasarea identică a tuturor, etc.

These commands all convert the active paths into a selection, and then combine it with the existing selection in the specified ways. (Paths to Selection discards the existing selection and replaces it with one formed from the path.) If necessary, any unclosed components of the path are closed by connecting the last anchor point to the first anchor point with a straight line. The „marching ants” for the resulting selection should closely follow the path, but don't expect the correspondence to be perfect.

Selection to Path creates a new path from the image's selection. In most cases the resulting path will closely follow the „marching ants” of the selection, but the correspondence will not usually be perfect.

Converting a two-dimensional selection mask into a one-dimensional path involves some rather tricky algorithms: you can alter the way it is done using the Advanced Options, which are accessed by holding down the Shift key while pressing the Selection to Path button at the bottom of the Paths dialog. This brings up the Advanced Settings dialog, which allows you to set a lot of different options. In general, Selection to Path will do what you expect it to, without the need to adjust the advanced settings.

Fill Paths fills all areas delimited by the selected paths with the current foreground color or currently selected pattern. See the section about Fill Paths for more information.

Stroke Paths renders the selected paths on the active layer of the image, permitting a wide variety of line styles and stroking options. See the sections about Stroke Paths and Stroking for more information.

Copy Paths copies the selected paths to the Paths Clipboard, enabling you to paste it into a different image.

	Indicație
	You can also copy and paste paths by dragging their icon from the Paths dialog into the target image's display.

	Notă
	When you copy a path to an image, it is not visible. You have to make it visible in the Paths dialog.

Paste Path creates a new path from the contents of the Path Clipboard, adds it to the list in the Paths dialog, and makes it the active path for the image. If no path has previously been copied into the clipboard, the menu entry will be disabled.

Export Paths… allows you to save a path to a file: it pops up a file save dialog that allows you to specify the file name and location. You can later add this path to any GIMP image using the Import Path command. The format used for saving paths is SVG: this means that vector-graphics programs such as Inkscape will also be able to import the paths you save. See the Paths section for more information on SVG files and how they relate to GIMP paths.

Import Path… creates a new path from an SVG file: it pops up a file chooser dialog that allows you to navigate to the file. See the Paths section for information on SVG files and how they relate to GIMP paths.
