Placement of Add On Manager folders

[rich2005]

It is possible, using the addonCollectionManager.ini file

At the start of the file replace addons_stored:{GimpUser}/ {type..... with the path to your folders

(I use a slightly different naming convention for _alt - read _storage)

Code:

[all]
# enable:brushes dynamics fonts gradients palettes patterns scripts
enable:brushes fonts patterns scripts
addons_active:{GimpUser}/{type}
addons_stored:C:\Users\rich\gimpfiles\{type}_alt
menu_location:{<type>}
menu_entry:{type} sets...
menu_description:Manage {type} sets...
dialog_title:{type} sets manager

This in a Win10 64 bit VM with Samjs portable Gimp 2.10.6



However, could I suggest an alternative, since I recall previous issues using that ini file.

The equivalent in Samj's portable to the Gimp profile is that Preferences folder. Whatever version of Gimp you use that is one folder you should backup. Remember to keep the backup up to date.

Move to new version of Samj's Gimp, replace the existing (default) Preference with your backup.
