The method I suggested earlier with using the tab key for completion should
work.  It is not case sensitive, if you type a lower case g and it should be
upper case that will be fixed when you hit the tab key.  If nothing happens
when you hit the tab key then something in the partial path you have is
wrong.

By the way, you said you were using windows, but, unless I missed it, you
did not say which version.

Are you using XP, Vista, or windows 7?  If its windows 7, is it the 32 or 64

Did you try using the tab key?  That really should work.  You can even do it

dir c:\prog tab  then c:\program files should appear.  Then backspace to
erase the quote after files and type \g then hit the tab key.  If something
other then gimp appears just keep hitting the tab key and it should show the
other things that begin with g.  If none of those is a gimp directory, then
you definitely should reinstall.


 Thank you for the support.
 I am on my other computer, and downloaded Gimp here, and the filters work

 I will try that when I'm on my other computer.

You are welcome.  Hope this gets resolved.  It might be worth reinstalling

thinner that the vertical lines.  I think was due to using a single number

 If the concept applies to OSX: start from a command prompt with a --verbose

Hi there.  I was going to suggest something similar to what ofnuts said, but
wasn't sure if it would work on a Mac.  I have access to a mac with OS X
10.5.8 with gimp 2.6.11 and did some poking around.

What happens if you start X11 by itself first?  ( in finder you can click on
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app)

If that works then open a terminal window and type:

/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/MacOS/Gimp --verbose

Then copy what is on the terminal window and post it in a reply.

If X will not start I have some other ideas.  Let us know what happens when
you try these suggestions.

 Is this a known issue ? Could you fix it if not already fixed ? TIA.


When you file a bug with bugzilla there is a box you can check if you want
to be informed if there are changes made related to that bug.  Those changes
included when someone is added or removed from the cc list.  If you have
reported a bug and that box was checked, this could be why you're receiving
these messages.

Adding and removing people from the cc list happens a lot.  Bugs get
reasssigned, marked as duplicates and people who checked the box when filing
a bug, hoping to hear that it has been fixed, also get all these other
messages, in addition to one every time someone removes their own address
from the cc list.

Try following the link in one message from each unique bug number and see if
that is the issue.

If it is a bug in bugzilla, this list is not the place to go to get it
fixed.  Not sure exactly where, but there must be a bugzilla
*for* bugzilla.
