Error while parsing - rdoty - 03-29-2025
When I load Gimp 3.0 I get this message "Error while parsing 'C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\devicerc' in line 9: invalid value 'a' for token select-criterion
Is this a problem and how do I correct? Also, could this relate to some of the problems I had with a previous thread, difficulty removing jpeg background?
RE: Error while parsing - rich2005 - 03-29-2025
The devicerc is a text file which governs the properties of the mouse / graphic tablet (if there is one) You can read it with a suitable text editor.
Line 9 is about a brush dynamic as the first few lines
Code:
# GIMP devicerc
(GimpDeviceInfo "Virtual Core Pointer"
(icon-name "gimp-cursor")
(name "Virtual Core Pointer")
(tool-options "GimpPaintOptions"
(tool "gimp-paintbrush-tool")
(brush "1. Pixel")
(dynamics "Pressure Size") <<<<<< line 9
(pattern "Marble #1")
(gradient "FG to BG (RGB)")
(palette "Color History")
(brush-size 3)
(brush-spacing 0.20000000000000001)
(dynamics-enabled no))You could try renaming it and when Gimp starts up it will scan the current hardware and write a new devicerc.
A long shot but might be a fix.
