[Gimp-user] Can I skip the GIMP User Installation screen upon first start?

2006-01-02 Thread Jason Bassett

Hello

Is there any way that I may set up the GIMP on a multi user Linux machine so 
that when a new person logs in and runs The GIMP, they do not need to go 
through the GIMP User Installation screen to set directories etc.  I would 
instead like these settings to be pulled from defaults that I set myself.


The reason is that inexperienced users will be using the machines and I do 
not want them to be encountering more screens that is required.


I have tried editing various files such as /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc but this 
only changes the defaults that appear for the user to accept.

AFAIK the install process just creates the .gimp-2.2 directory in  
the home directory of the user and stores some preferences files in  
there. You could try to make a template .gimp-2.2 directory - one  
which does not have any user dependencies and distribute this into  
the user directories of all users you want to use GIMP without  
installing it.

I would add the .gimp tree in the system skeleton 
( /etc/skel/) for new users.
That way all users added will automagically get the settings..
