I lost me stroke in GIMP 3.2

Have mercy on the old and obsolete.

I've been using GIMP to create simple stick-figure drawings for 20+ years, and I can't figure out how 3.2 does it.

(Smegging reddit will not allow me to include screenshots. I'll see if I can put them in comments)

(No, it won't upload pictures there, either. Tanj)

ANYWAY.

For example:

In 3.0, I use the Path tool to draw two lines.

Then I use "Stroke Path" to draw a solid black line 6 pixels wide. And there it is.

When I use Path tool in 3.2, I pick my points for my two lines. There's no "Stroke Path" button. I tried using the 'Create New Vector Layer', and I got a new layer over in the Layers list on the right, but it doesn't create a line. I tried it again, and the 'Create New Vector Layer' button was greyed out, so I couldn't even get that.

I'm sure this Vector stuff is wonderful, but all I want is to draw straight lines. What am I missing?
