Re: [Gimp-user] program crashes

2015-01-12 Thread Pat David


 then i found gimpusers.com and used a download from there


The best place to download GIMP if you are new, would be here:

http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

I would suggest removing what you may have installed already, and trying
fresh with a download from the official source.  Otherwise we can't be
sure of the integrity of the program.

Where did you download GIMP from? What OS are you running? What were you
doing just before it showed you this error?

I don't use Windows, but this seems to be an eternal problem.

So I set about going through the motions of downloading a windows version 

   Start at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

   Then Show other downloads 

   Then Windows

Comment: This assumes that if a Windows version is not in the main listing, it 
must be in Other downloads
I do not believe this to be user friendly to Windows users, particularly as 
they probably make up 80% of users?

But then having got to the Windows section, the first line reads;

   The Windows installer packages by Jernej Simončič are distributed from the
   GIMP HTTP server (download.gimp.org) and its mirror servers

Comment: Clicking on download.gimp.org presents a directory listing. 
I could imagine Windows users rolling over to die at this point! But continuing 
it then offers first a torrent

   Download GIMP 2.8.14 ---Link to torrent
   If the torrent download doesn't work, you can also follow this link--link 
to exe file.


It's no wonder users attempting to download gimp end up with infected programs 
which are probably easier to access from a Google search.

So that's my rant, my suggestion to the keeper of the download page is to put 
the Windows version at the top;


   GIMP for Windows
Torrent link
program link


FWIW

This adjusts to the platform. Windows users do see the Windows
downloads, and would have to choose Other downloads to see the Linux
and OSX links and downloads..

Re: [Gimp-user] program crashes

GIMP should be acquired via the gimp.org website.

Logging in to gimp.com, rather than gimp.org, takes one to a web page with 
nothing more than a large number of links (10 at the moment) to various 
versions of gimp. They are tabulated in a page headed “Ads.” I believe it 
likely that many if not most of these are likely to contain spam or viruses.

Many times recently, this users list has been visited by new users having 
spam-like and virus-like complaints.

I’m guessing that gimp.com is relatively new (I’ve never visited there before) 
and it is likely this flurry of new and unfortunately unhappy users has fallen 
into this trap.

I am not sure how one goes about shutting down this malicious website - this 
is, after all, a free country.

However, the registrant is at (480) 624-2599, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. 
And calls itself “Domains by Proxy, LLC.

These new users might like to lodge a complaint there. But I doubt if it would 
be very helpful.
