The location has been changed in the current development branch (2.9) and this change will be in the 2.10 stable release.
If Ubuntu doesn't want to be inconsistent with every single piece of GIMP docs, tutorial, hint, message, post, ... concerning the location of the profile directory for 2.8, I'd suggest to leave this as-is for now. It will be hard enough to communicate the change alongside a release that is explicitly changing the profile directory location. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1603321 Title: Config directory ~/.gimp-2.8 should be ~/.config/gimp-2.8 Status in gimp package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Personal config directory ~/.gimp-2.8 should be ~/.config/gimp-2.8 Please implement this change in such way that for the next x versions of this package any old ~/.gimp-2.8 directories are moved or merged or a notification is made to the end-user when there is a conflict.
