: Is there a way to lock guides in GIMP? I have tried increased the Snap distance, but even then, sometimes I accidentally move a guide when I'm trying to do a lot of repetitive tasks quickly.

@Dunderdale640

Possible work around: instead of adding guides, create a Path (with vertical & horizontal lines) with the path tool, then check View>Snap to active path. The path ill behave as a guide, but you won't be able to move it by accident.

No there isn't a way to lock the guides. However when using the Move tool you can hold down Shift when using the Move tool, so that the guide will not be able to be selected or moved accidentally.

This behaviour is documented in the user manual here
