Meanwhile, I suppose this would be the canonical solution: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/old.html AFAIK version 2.6.12 should work normally on a 64 bit Windows 7 system. :o/ Steve ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Problems with Gimp 2.8.x
The problem: Hi, i'm using Windows XP and i'm having some serious problems i somehow had in Linux but never at this extent, so far i tried with builds 2.8.2 and 2.8.4 , the Canvas doesn't seem to redraw properly when panned or zoomed, any of the drawing tools have a delay between the tracing and the mouse/stylus movement, the color picker from the Color Dockable Dialog is unable to get any color from the screen but black and in general the program feels slow, sometimes irresponsible despite not taking more memory than PS do, these but the color picker were problems i had in Linux too but in Windows these seem to have reached their worst What i have tried so far: -Different builds, the one from the Homepage, Partha's, Onkel's and some other minor packers -Cleaning the /.gimp directory, preferences and almost any other folder related to gimp so it can start without interference from previous settings. -browsing restless the internet, the best i could get was a thread talking about Cairo library being the problem in some cases and that problem with the Color Management preference that doesn't make any difference. -Testing with Gimp 2.6.11 only shows that Gimp does indeed run flawlessly in Windows, the only problem is that no Gimp Painter/Paint Studio is available for Windows and windows positions aren't saved so Gimp always starts with floating windows offscreen. I'm too used to Gimp to use PS, and there are not good alternatives, Pinta or Paint.NET won't do the work that Gimp does, i'm clueless on what i have to do or were should i start as many people keep stating that Gimp 2.8.x runs fine on Windows, yet i find it horribly slow and troublesome, even if clean installation is present. any help would be great, greetings. -- HankOS (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
