Trying To Locate Gimp In C Drive While In Gimp - zodiakteez - 08-27-2022

I'm trying to add a custom pattern however I cant locate GIMP on my drive  through the gimp application( File-->Export-->OS©-->users>
(name)-->application Data(appdata roaming  is where gimp is stored when I search for gimp) once I click on this option the preview box on the right is empty.

I cant save the custom pattern without finding Gimp ( I can search my computer and locate the file, however when I search through the gimp app while exporting to save in gimp I can not find it).

Can anyone help?

Im using windows 11
Latest version of Gimp 2.0

The place for Gimp patterns in Windows is
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\patterns

Appdata is a 'hidden' folder so un-hide it see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-1166d1d9f4b5

If you still cannot find it, you can get there from the Gimp menu Edit -> Preferences folders  (1) Gives the location (2) and the top right icon (3) opens in Windows Explorer.

You can export as a Gimp .pat or a .png A Gimp .pat has the advantage of a description.

I am kind of old fashioned, there is no need to quote everything over-and-over.

Basically it is knowing your computer.

No good looking in your MS cloud storage. You need to look in the C: drive and the Users -> Your Name folders.

Almost there Wink  see the plus sign, click on that to expand, go to the patterns folder, go back and look at the location or use that icon for opening Windows explorer.
