How can i roll back to a previous version

[arjen]

Running Fedora 40

Was using Gimp always as preferred image software.

I could use the print preview to exactly outline the image to print.
That is lost now.

Pls GIMP manufacturers don't do this. When not broken do not fix it, the version I had was OK.

How can I roll back to the version that worked for me. I do not know the number, just the previous one.

Current (not wanted) version 2.99.19

How did you get Gimp 2.99.19 - Is it a flatpak version ?

The latest stable version is Gimp 2.10.38 and seems there is a Fedora 40 package
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/...dates.html

I do not use Fedora but it seems straightforward

No Gimp developers on this forum.

Thanks @rich2005

I forgot that Fedora is 'cutting edge' and releases beta software whenever it can. GIMP 2.99.19 is the latest beta release. I did not solve it yet, but I just reckon that other users will protest as well and the next version will install the print preview ability back. For now I just have to deal with the new situation. I will probably migrate to Debian which has a more stable platform. I used to want the latest latest stuff, now I want stability.

Thanks for your reply. I was clearly a bit frustrated trying to print a document, thought that the developers would read this.

rich2005: Some developers read through posts here when they can.

arjen: Hi! Nothing was intentionally removed. Part of the work done for GIMP 2.99/3.0 was porting to GTK3, which is the GUI library that GIMP uses to make windows, menus, etc. It's possible that something was lost during that process, which is causing the issue.

You can always post bug reports on our tracker, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues. That makes it more likely to be seen by developers and hopefully fixed. Screenshots of the issue also help us identify the problem. Thanks!
