Image border removal - enduser - 11-08-2019
I have many scans of transparencies that have the film holder as a black border. When Using GIMP 2.10.10 to open an image, it opened the image only, and not the black border. This was very useful and made cropping un-necessary. Being an idiot and not letting well alone, I changed some settings and now the images load with the black film-holder border.
I tried un-installing and re-installing Gimp but it never comes back as it originally installed. So, does any one know what settings might restore the ability to load and have the border deleted in the one "Open" command. Failing that, what do I do within the program to delete the black border? Or, how do you delete all the Gimp installation completely as if was never installed. Then I can start anew.

To reset Gimp to factory settings, you just need to erase/rename your profile.
But you could be disappointed, I have never seen Gimp crop things by itself when loading an image. There are such functons (Layer>Autocrop layer and Image>Zealous crop) but you have to explicitly call them.

Erase or reset profile did bring Gimp back to factory settings. I was amazed when the cropping on loading happened, but alas it no longer does what I saw.Thanks for the "profile" info though.
