/home/jwl/.gimp-2.2/patterns
The former is where I'm trying to add the pattern.
No -s on this directory.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-11-01 07:57 .
I also attempted to add the file to the .gimp... directory but it still isn't showing up. I can open the file in gimp and it seems to show up just fine. I compared it to a good pattern and except for the dimensions it's equivalent as far as I can see.
When I'm in the pattern screen, and click on a pattern, there is a short description of the pattern displayed, but I can't find any way to see that description when I'm editing a pattern in gimp. Is it possible my converted jpeg image doesn't have that dispaly info in it and that's why it isn't showing up?
Thanks,
Jim.

In "File|Preferences", what directories are listed as resource sources
for patterns?
IIRC, you can also put the pattern in ~/.gimp-2.2/patterns if you are
doing a per-user install (as opposed to system-wide).
Also, does the pattern(s) folder have an -s or no? I forget what the
actual one does have, although IIRC you can set any one you want, in
theory. I could be wrong though, I'm a bit rusty.
