[Gimp-user] Puzzle about my version of gimp
I recently upgraded my main computer to Fedora 9 from Fedora 7. When I brought gimp up and clicked on 'about' under Help, a window came up claiming it is gimp 2.4.1. But the package is designated 2-2.4.7, from which I conclude it is really gimp 2.4.7. The explanation might be that the help package is 2-2.4.1. I can't figure out any way to tell from the running program which version it is. On the other hand I recently got a laptop runing Ubuntu 8.04. When start gimp on it, 'about' tells me I have gimp 2.4.5, which I believe. Any comments or explanations? -- Leonard Evens [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mathematics Department, Northwestern University ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

To find out for sure you can look in the NEWS file for 2.4 and try to reproduce bugs that only existed in one of the versions. Depending on what bugs you can reproduce, you can derive what version you have. Another way would be to install the source package of the gimp program package and look in the configure.in file, which has the version at the top. - Martin ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
