settings palette disappeared - gib65 - 12-22-2017
Hello,
Somehow the settings palette for each tool has disappeared and I can get it back. By 'settings palette', I mean, for example, the palette on which I can choose remove, union, intersection, etc. for the magic wand select tool, or the line thickness of the free form pencil tool. There is nothing in the recently closed windows list. Reinstalling Gimp didn't work. How do I get it back?
Thanks

Sounds like you are looking for the Tool Options.
Got to Windows and then Dockable Dialogues.

Yes, but that didn't work.
In any case, I fixed it. I had to reinstall Gimp, but not before deleting all my data in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2 and C:\Users\junkm\.gimp-2.8. It was like pulling teeth.

(Re-installing Gimp seldom fixes anything)
