Hi :) Just had the problem again on Ubuntu 14.04. The work-around; mkdir ~/gimp-2.8
fixed it. But then it grumbled that; Failed to parse tag cache: No such file or directory which didn't seem to stop gimp from working. However after closing gimp, which i had run from the command-line, i found it had grumbled about several missing sub-folders so i had to do; cd ~/gimp-2.8 mkdir palettes mkdir gradients mkdir patterns mkdir dynamics mkdir brushes I'm sure a more linuxy way would be something like this mkdir ~/gimp-2.8 cd ~/gimp-2.8 mkdir palettes gradients patterns dynamics brushes I can't help feeling i'm missing quite a lot of useful stuff in my version of gimp now but i only need it for cropping at the moment and that works fine.
