trying to learn path tool

Apologies for such basic questions.

1) when I have made a path to cut out a selection but before I finish if I enlarge the image the anchors and connecting lines all disappear. The undo history does not seem to let me step back from this. What is going on?

2) Is this the correct forum for completely new users? I do not wish to annoy the community with simplistic questions.

Quoting Eain :

I did not experience this disappearance of the path when enlarging the image; however, the path WILL disappear view if you activate a different tool from the Toolbox. The path will still be there, it is just hidden.

You can make the path re-appear by double-clicking on its thumbnail preview in the Paths Dialog (if your Path Dialog is not visible, use "Windows->Dockable Dialogs->Paths" to raise it). Note also that there is an "eyeball" associated with the path which you can toggle (similar to how you change the visibility of layers in the Layers Dialog) to force the path to always be shown.
