Thanks! I copied those two files plus libpng15-15 as suggested from 2.8.10 and replaced the relevant 2.8.14 versions. Appears to be working with no other problems, although testing has been limited so far. I did get an odd error message when starting up 2.8.14 for the first time after switching the files; something like: The procedure entry point cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\...\libpoppler-glib-8.dll Since this wasn't a file I touched, I don't know if this was related. In any case, I simply ok'd the error message and it all seemed to start up ok otherwise. -- Cyanoferret (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
