No, it isn't. We might add it back for GIMP 2.8, if someone finds the time to do that. Until then you can read the tips by accessing the dialog from the Help menu. If you are interested in getting the tips dialog back, you should consider sending us a patch. Please contact us on the gimp-developer mailing-list if you are interested in such a contribution.

[Gimp-user] "Tip of the Day" is not displayed each time
Hallo, I know from the online manual: http://docs.gimp.org/pl/gimp-tips-dialog.html "The tip of the day is no longer displayed by default each time you start GIMP." There is no problem so far. But I could not find any information how to use Tip dialog like previous version. I want show the dialog each time I start GIMP. Maybe is it no longer possible to use in that way?

But if you want one, there is hardly anything simpler than setting up a script that parses the gimp-tips.xml file as found in the GIMP source tree and sends yourself such an email once a day.

Re: [Gimp-user] Tip of the day
What's the chances the tip of the day could come as an automated daily email via this gimp-user list? Just an idea, Michaela aka "Newbie" -Original Message- From: gimp-user-boun...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu [mailto:gimp-user-boun...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Norman Silverstone Sent: Sunday, 29 November 2009 2:08 AM To: Gimp Subject: [Gimp-user] Tip of the day I read on the list the other day that there are some useful items in Tip of the day so I decided to activate things so that a new tip would appear each time GIMP was switched on. To my disappointment, the button to switch the tip on and off is no longer in the tip window. What do I need to do to get the tip to appear each time I activate GIMP, please.

As you can see in the UI specifications for GIMP 2.6, the tips were supposed to be available prominently from the image window: http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/No_image_open_specification#inside_the_.E2.80.98no_image.E2.80.99_window Unfortunately no one got around to implement this detail of the specification. If it bothers you enough to speak up on this mailing-list, why don't you make a patch that we can use for GIMP 2.8?

That, indeed is the complaint, along with: # There's no way to stop it appearing on start up (Having turned it on). # There's no close button, so that once open you need to use a title bar button. Put together, I'd say that completely breaks all the conventions for how a "Tip of the Day" should behave, not to mention, a user interface convention. No idea why that had to happen, but it's almost at the stage where I say it might have been better to take it out all together, or just placed all the tips, on a single conventional help page. However, I'm sure you've had the same thoughts yourself, and hopefully, with the next release, it will be back to the way it was before.

There is no such thing as a Windows implementation. The same code is used on all platforms. The Tips of the Day can only be read from the Help menu currently. There is no way to make it appear on startup. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The same massively retrograde step was taken in the Windows implementation too!
