  • GIMP 2.10 and GIMP 2.8

    From Charlie Roberts@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 3 17:22:34 2018
    Thanks to lisa et. al. for letting me know about
    GIMP 2.10.

    I use 2.8 a bit, and it is nice and stable. Is it
    possible to have both versions, 2.8 and 2.10,
    at the same time?

    I would like to have 2.8 as a backup in case I
    have problems with 2.10.

    if you choose to customize the 2.10 install it's not possible to give
    it it's own directory. Would be a nice option for v2.10.01 :-)

    use 2.8 as a portable app

    that's the wrong way to solve this problem.
    I have a good working v2.8.xx with plugins I like to use.

    Gimp v2.10 is the trouble maker!
    So I installed the portable 2.10.0 version as test.
    Same problems with the plugins.
    Other plugins are crashing when I try to use them.
    The toolbox is now a collection of points and no longer icons.
    You can fit them now all in one old
    Trying to start a plug-in for v2.10 failed because a lib named libgegl-0.4-0.dll is missing. Good luck finding it on the internet;
    I'm still searching ...

    I think I have no problems with v2.10.0 out of the box, but I like my
    v2.8.xx plugins too much to say goodby to them.

    I will wait at least a month for a next test and hopefully most issues
    are solved.

    Thanks for the inforamtion. Very useful.

    I do not have that many plugins, but even so, I too shall wait for
    things to settle down before moving to 2.10. I can live without
    the couple of new filters for a while ....

    I have just taken a quick look at it, it's a lot more than a couple of
    filters. One thing I would hope for is adjustment layers, you can get by without them but even PS Elements has them. Updated plug-ins will no
    doubt become available in time.
    I wonder if Mint 19 will come with gimp 2.10.2?
