| Where are preferences being stored? |

This question pertains to Windows installations in general. I'm having a problem when running different versions of GIMP on the same Windows computer. It appears to me that the same Preferences are being used no matter what version of GIMP I might choose to run. This is causing a problem when I might want to have different preferences apply to different versions of GIMP. For example, when using plugins it is desired to associate the plugin version being used with the version of GIMP being used but that does NOT seem to happen.
On Windows one might expect that storing Preferences in the registry rather GIMP specific files would have this affect. However, I haven't been able to find anything in the registry that looks like GIMP preferences. Same applies to standard file locations such as those located within the AppData folder.

| Changing template spine size. |

After reviewing one of my indi books, I want to increase the spine width from .835"/21.21mm to 0.880"/22.35mm in my Gimp 2.10.36/Windows11. I am reusing my original book template so the only change required is the spine size (more pages in the new edition). How can I best do this in Gimp? Step by step would be good.
Secondly when I open a template image as a PNG in Gimp, how can I view its actual size? Thanx, Stusamuso.

I am a small church secretary who is relatively new to GIMP. I need to create an overlay of text on a transparent background to place over a photo. In short, I use a photo of a baptism to create the certificate of baptism for the individual, so I need to create this transparent layer with the basic text that can be altered with each individual. Not sure if I'm making sense. Can anyone help?

| GIMP Appimage loader update |

I have updated GIMP (Panda Jim) to 2.10.38.
Is it possible to update the Appimage loader to correspond? (gimp2-10-36-python2-mm-Ubuntu.Appimage)
I have tried extracting the Appimage, but could not see where to make the necessary changes.
I am running Ubuntu 20.04, but with the Unity desktop. Is it possible to upgrade this to 22.04 (or 24.04) whilst retaining Python 2.7?
Any help and advice greatly appreciated.
david.

| Confused about PPI inb GIMP |

Hi, I've just started to use GIMP. I scanned in an image at 1200 DPI. The document is 6 x 8.5 inches but when I open the document in GIMP the "set to canvas size" shows the size to be double but 300 ppi so I'm confused about the sizing. Another image/document I scanned in at 600 dpi is the correct size on GIMP (6 x 8.5 inc) but the dpi is 300 - surely it should be 600 dpi or double the size? Can someone please explain this to me? Am I looking at the wrong place to find the size of my document? I need to generate digital prints at the largest size possible at 300 dpi. I'm on a MAC. Thank you
