[Gimp-user] Opening files in Gimp2.4x from 3rd party, thumbnail viewer
Hi, Thanks to all who pointed me to gimp-remote to prevent multiple instances of Gimp when opening files from third party thumbnail viewers. I downloaded the Windows version, which requires the following registry entry to be added: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\gimp-win-remote] @=gimp-2.4.exe (as described in the Readme file.) It now works perfectly with both IDimager and Fastone image viewer. I appreciated the lightning fast responses!

Re: [Gimp-user] Opening files in Gimp2.4x from 3rd party, thumbnail viewer
Thank you for the tip, it works. And the document http://windowsxp.mvps.org/imgeditor.htm adds information how to make GIMP default picture editor: * Click Start, Run and type CONTROL FOLDERS * Select the File Types tab * Select the image file type from the listing (e.g. jpg), and click the Advanced button. If it is not available, click restore defaults first. * Create a new action by clicking New * In the Action text box, type Edit * In the Application used to perform action box, type the full path to the image editor application. Just copy/paste the correspondent strings from Edit with GIMP entry. * Click OK, OK to close the dialog If you had to restore settings, edit Open key to the viewer you like. Now if GIMP has been loaded, pressing F4 in XnView opens the image in GIMP. :) Peter Taylor wrote: Hi, Thanks to all who pointed me to gimp-remote to prevent multiple instances of Gimp when opening files from third party thumbnail viewers.

Is there an advantage in using the d-bus method over gimp-remote? -- dh ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Opening files in Gimp2.4x from 3rd party thumbnail viewer
Hi, I use a photo cataloging program called IDimager as a 'front end' for Gimp.This program displays thumbnails of the complete directory (with star ratings, etc.), and is a very convenient way of identifying photos. Since changing to v2.4, a fresh instance of the Gimp is started for each new photo that I open. Previously with v2.2x it was a dream.Once it had opened Gimp for the first picture, from then on it quickly loaded new photos into the existing instance of Gimp. Now that it opens a fresh instance of Gimp for each photo, it is obviously slower and uses excessive system resources. The only change I have made is going from Gimpv2.2 to v2.4. IDimager has not been updated. I did not configure v2.2 specially, but wonder if there is a way to configure v2.4 to behave similarly. Incidentally, another thumbnail viewer I have used is Faststone thumbnail viewer. That opened a fresh instance of Gimp with v2.2 as well. I would appreciate any help - even if it means using a different thumbnail viewer.

No idea what exactly IDimage is doing but it probably needs to be updated for GIMP 2.4 then. Or perhaps IDimage can call gimp-remote instead of gimp? If that doesn't work one could make gimp a link to gimp-remote. As far as I know it behaves like gimp when no other instance of GIMP is running.
