Re: [Gimp-user] opening Images
I'm using a the Windows XP home version. I am using Windows Explorer to browse the files using the thumbnail view. I see an image worth investigating, click on it, and The Gimp loads. I process the image. Save a copy and close both images down. Repeat the process. After doing this any number of times, I end up with 15-20 menus for The Gimp and eventually the machines bogs out. I have to routinely close Gimp menus in order to get just one instance. This takes some time and The Gimp doesn't like it. I wanted to know if I could have The Gimp open and still select images within the thumbnail view of Windows Explorer without causing new instances of the program to open.Many thanks for the informative replies.

If you are simply using the Windows file manager, with View|Thumbnails set so that images show as thumbnails, thenthe GIMP itself should not be activated. Maybe you are referring tosomething else? Which version of Windows?If you mean that you actually open an image for editing with GIMP, and *then* you get a new instance of the GIMP each time you open a new image,you need to change the file associations so that you usegimp-win-remote.exe.--Bob Long___ Gimp-user mailing listGimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDUhttps://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- Page Sands078 8190 6934 Cellhttp://www.wpsands.com/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] opening Images
I'm new to the list and I've been using gimp for several months. I like browse image thumbnails from within Windows (I know I) and I think I'm inadvertently causing multiple instances of The Gimp to run in the background as I can easily end up with 15-20 Gimp menus. Is there a better way to do this?All the best,Page ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
