I started up GIMP today (2.6.11 on Win 7 x64), and got an extended pause and the startup windows showed "reading patterns" as best I remember. I do recall in the past fooling around some trying to add a pattern file, but can't remember exactly what I had done. At any rate after an extended period GIMP started, but configured a bit differently. Looking around my system I see that the
C:\Users\<Username>\.gimp-2.6\ folder hierarchy seems to have been completely rebuilt. Per the help that appears to be normal if local GIMP settings are missing or damaged. But doing some mucking around, I found another copy from earlier in C:\Users\<Username>\Appdata\Local\.gimp=2.6\ I did a compare of the two folder hierarchies, and did find a reference to pattern-path and pattern-path-writable in the older gimprc. So I backed up the new .gimp-2.6 and copied over the older one to C:\Users\<Username>\, except I kept the new gimprc, and now GIMP is loading OK (AFAICT) with my original .gimp=2.6. So I guess I'm wondering what happened, and where is .gimp-2.6 supposed to be located in a Win 7 x64 system? scott s. . _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
