GIMP :: How To Set Start Folder For 2.8
Jan 8, 2013
I can't find out how to set the start folder for 2.8.In 2.6, I could edit the shortcut properties to change the directory that Gimp starts in.
When I want to load or save images, I'm in the directory I want to be in. I then have the option of pressing 'recently used' if I want.
In 2.8 I can still edit the shortcut properties, but when I go to open a file, I'm already in the 'recently used' directory. Unfortunately, that's not where I usually want to be, and I can't find a way to get the old behaviour back.

Suddenly, gimp won't start unless I call it from the command line using sudo.
So far, I've done this:
Synaptic>completely remove gimp and gimp-data
deleted gimp2.6 folder from /home/user/
reinstall
Sudo apt-get remove --purge gimp gimp-data
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-data
After the second install, looked for gimp folder in user directory to double check file and folder permissions...it wasn't there.

I have Gimp portable 2.6 and have used it a lot on Windows XP. Now I have a box with Windows 7 on it and, well, it failes to start.
It come up with "gimp2-6.exe has stopped working" and gives me the option to debug. I go the the "Visual Studio Just-In-time debugger' and the message is "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in gimp-2-6.exe [448]" but am stuck there.
What can I do to make gimp portable work on Windows 7

As stated in the thread, my Gimp program had just started to stop loading today, after it was working fine earlier this afternoon. I either select the program itself or an xcf file, and it starts to load with the green bar and everything. At about 3/4 into loading, right when it gets to "Tool Presets", windows informs me the program has stopped working and says it will notify me if it finds a solution.
I run the program on Windows 8.

I did a complete uninstall of GIMP 2.6. Then a complete install of GIMP 2.8. No errors during installation. When I run GIMP, Windows draws a window frame with the title "GIMP Startup" but the inside of the window remains unpainted (whatever was behind it remains visible). This window frame exists for maybe one second and then closes. I have waited a long time but nothing continues. Task Manager confirms that no application is running. I uninstalled, downloaded again, reinstalled (even just a "compact" installation), but same thing.
System Info:
Windows XP Home SP3, up to date
2 GB RAM
Paging file initial 3058 MB, max 6116 MB

Goes straight to a black box that says not responding then gets to looking for data files and then windows takes over and searches for a solution before shutting the whole works down. Takes about 30 secs.
I just installed this because 2.6 was doing the same thing.

I am using Gimp version 2.6..At the start-up it has the "Paintbrush Tool." I want it to have the "Move Tool" immediately after or when the program starts.
Having the Paintbrush Tool at start-up is inconvenient because if I click on the image it paints where I click. Then I have then got to undo the paint.How can I set GIMP so that the Move Tool is the default mode when it starts?

Is there a way I can set this with a switch appended to the "...gimp.exe" shortcut? Or any way that I can set it at all?

I am running into trouble with the mosaic filter under distortion.
I am unable to change the offset of where the tiles start, and right now they get drawn in the middle of the image. That way, they get cut off mid way through when they reach the edge of the image.
I can't easily remedy this by cutting out the center, and moving the halved pieces together because they're different tiles and have different colors.
I think I can just move it over, and do another seperate mosaic on the missing region but I'd really like to be able to change that.

Is Kaspersky Anti-Virus interfering with Gimp start up??? ever since I installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013, Gimp takes more than 20 minutes too start up, it searches for data files for more than 20 minutes straight before my image is opened in Gimp ever since Kaspersky was installed!

I use GIMP at work since a few days but we have a shared network folder where we work from (just to pc's) but the shared folder is on the other pc and I always need to save the files on the network folder. But GIMP only recognises the folder itself and not the content in it and all the subfolders.

Due to a catastrophic failure on my PC's part, the BiOS needed to be reset, and I effectively lost my irreplaceable copy of CS5 Extended. Since I do not have 1,000 dollars, and I NEED to be able to do graphic design, I'm putting all my faith into Gimp at this point, hahaha.
I just downloaded the GPS package for Gimp so that I could make photoshop-esque drawings if needed.
Huge problem: I was able to copy all of the folder contents (Brushes, Gradients, Palettes, Patterns) from the GPS package into the Gimp respective folders EXCEPT for Tool-Options. I'd assume that if I can't install the saved settings along with the package it's pretty much useless.
I've navigated every folder I could find within Gimp, and I can't find this damn thing XD.
While I love digital painting, my current task requires me to be capable of designing a shop sign, business cards, and logos. Is Gimp comparable to photoshop in the typography realm? This will be my first official professional job, so it HAS to look good. So far Gimp reminds me of photoshop elements, which was my favorite photoshop due to ease of use.

As a photograher, I have hundredsot thousands of photos in a folder after a shooting. I would like to work with Gimp on all of the photos individually, one after the other.
When I opened the first one in the folder and saved the result I would like to close the first file and go to the second one and work on it. And after the next one and the next one...
How may I go easily -with a key shorcut, for example- go to the NEXT photo within the folder?
There are other programs, like fotoxx or DigiKam able to do this, however, I like better to work with Gimp... if possible.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Gimp 2.6.

the location of the template folder or files. I'm not sure if it's (C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.8\templates) which nothing is there. or if it's (C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0) in which case I can't find anything there either...
I need to delete some files/templates.

I typically use GIMP 2.6. Computer crashed recently so now I've downloaded 2.8. When I download ABR files into the brushes folder, the program won't start. It wigs out and doesn't work. I copied abr files just fine into my GIMP 2.6. Why is this happening?
I even went so far as to find GIMP 2.6 on the web for download. But the same problem. There are strange 'VBR' files now that didn't used to be in my old brush folder but are suddenly there now.
(and 'gimp doesn't accept abr files' my old 2.6 accepted them JUST fine. No fancy converter or anything).

I just installed 3DS Max 2012 with a student license, but I encountered a problem that doesn't seem to go away. Whenever I open it, it gets to the "Starting 3DS Max 2012" screen and then freezes. The process freezes as well. Is there a way I can fix this? I have Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-Bit, and a Dual-Core Processor. My computer meets all the System Requirements except an insufficient video card.
