I'm trying to add a pattern and it's just not doing what I think it should.
I loaded a small image, 135x94 into gimp and saved it as a pattern (.pat).
I then moved it to the /usr/share/gimp/2.0/pattern directory. I quit gimp
and then brought it back up. No pattern. I decided maybe the patterns were
coming from somewhere else, so I did a locate on corkboard.pat. Only one of
them. OK, so I temporarily moved one of the .pat files to another location,
refreshed gimp again and it was gone. Ah, so it is reading from that
directory. Maybe there is something about my image that gimp doesn't like,
so I copied pine.pat to a new name, 3dwood.pat. I refreshed gimp again,
closing and restarting. Nope, no 3dwood.
File attributes are just fine, all of them at 644. Owner is root.root on
all the files, old and new.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Running on a Debian Sarge release distro with gimp 2.2.
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.
