This seems to happen there somewhat more frequently (cf.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732985 or
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753248 ) but is not limited
to this platform.

We hope that a user who knows the debugging tools for the windowing
system they use can do some research there and figure out what exactly
is happening, i.e. what either GIMP or GTK+ would have to do different-

I think this is the right place.  But first we need to know, what
operating system are you using (name and version number)?  And, if your
desktop interface has any major options (i.e. "standard" vs. "classic"
in Windows) which you are using.  Odds are someone with the same setup
as you knows the answer to this.

In the meantime, alt+tab is your friend...

Re: [Gimp-user] Retrieving Graphic Designs From Crashed Hard Drive (How To)

[Scott Jacobs via gimp-user-list]

If your old drive is usable, and you can attach it to your computer at the same 
time as the new one,
then you should be all right:
1) your files should be in the same place as before - same directory structure.
2) Make a folder on your new drive with a path/name that seems logical to you,
and copy whatever containing folder has all your design folders in it to this 
new folder.
Drag-n-drop, or select the old folder, "copy", and click in the new folder and 
"paste".
All sub-folders ought to get copied automatically, I would think

If the drive does not work, then you will need to go to a shop/firm that does 
recovery,
and have them try to rescue what they can from it (if any can be).  Tell them 
you want things kept
in the same directory/folder-structure you had before (I would guess they would 
do so
automatically, but ...).  This may be expensive, but you will be the best judge 
of whether
it is worth it to you to get your files back or not.  It sounds like there are 
a lot of them.
That might be enough to convince you to do it.  Also, if these were 
work-related files,
then I would guess you would probably bite-the-bullet and do it.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Retrieving Graphic Designs From Crashed Hard Drive (How To)

Old Hard Drive crashed. Many GIMP graphic designs on disk.

Have new Hard Drive, and external case for old drive folder/design recovery
(if possible).

My Questions:
1. Where do I look on the old hard drive for the designs? Which
folder/subfolder?
2. If I find my designs -- where do I move them TO on the new hard drive
(Gimp 2.8.20 installed) so I can use them again?

Am I out of luck -- or is recovery possible?

Thanks VERY much for any assistance.

[Daniel Smith]

you didnt say whether you were on windows or mac, but i would search your
pc for the name of any files you know the name that you saved it to. that
will show you the folder(s) where all or some of the files are. if i were
you i'd try to install the same version that you were using so it makes a
replica of the previous install, then just try copying the whole folder
replacing the new similar one etc. try that and see. make a backup on disk
or thumb drive to make sure you dont lost it if something goes wrong.

[Gimp-user] Tablet not working properly

[squirrel]

I have a Huion H420 tablet. I've installed the drivers, and the tablet shows up
in the devices. I've put the mode on "screen" and changed the pressure to "3",
but when I go to draw, there are no lines. If I press down with the pen,
there'll be a dot, but only a dot and no line. On other programs the tablet and
pen work perfectly with pressure and everything. It just doesn't seem to be
working on GIMP. Help?
