I installed 2.6 after 2.8 (using a different installation directory) and have yet to encounter any problems in either one. I guess I will give it a go and see what happens. thanks scott s. . ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

The installer for GIMP 2.8.0 will uninstall older versions first, but you can simply reinstall GIMP 2.6.12 afterwards. > Reason for asking is that there are a number of 2.6 plug-ins I need, and > looking at the GIMP plug-in repository few indicate 2.8 compatibility. > So I would need to test them myself but if they don't work I would go > back to 2.6, at least for some tasks. Old plugins should keep working - if you find any that don't, report that as a bug (this includes 32bit plugins running on 64bit GIMP). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
