In this tutorial I’ll be addressing a common problem in the way that newer versions of GIMP display tool icons in groupings. I’ll be demonstrating how you can easily show all tools in GIMP instead of having them grouped together into sub menus.
According to the release notes for GIMP version 2.10.18, a new feature they introduced was tool groupings. The idea behind this is to make the user interface more neat and organized, treating the toolbox as somewhat of a filing cabinet where each tool is filed in a drawer with similar tools. However, I personally find it to be a little too disruptive to my workflow.
