Using GIMP 2.10 and 3.0 on the same PC
#9
Sally, if you had said you had two versions running I would have been impressed. But you have 3 versions, wow!
That's encouraging!

rich2005, in the distant past and lost in memory and certainly not on this computer I used a regular installation of GIMP.

But definitely since I started using version 2.10 I have always used Samj's portable creations. This PC has never seen a regular version of GIMP. (Not even my previous PC)

But as I showed in the previous post, I definitely have a User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10 User Profile.

I tried to look for an explanation for this and the only clue I got was looking at the creation/modification dates of the files in this folder 11/April/2024 and 25/May/2024.

Relating these dates to my activity here on the forum I found the post:
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Open-with-GIMP

Maybe these folders were created when I used /bin/gimp-2.10.exe (just guessing)  <<--

"Since this is a new install try, (1) rename the old Gimp 2.10 user profile, say User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10-backup (2) Delete the Gimp 2.30 User profile User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 3.0 (3) Run Gimp 2.30 to create a new default User Profile. That that should contain all the folders and xxxxrc files."

Since I'm using a portable version (C:\Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win\) and I intend to delete this directory (User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10), I don't think I need to rename the profile. Is this correct?

Note: In my interpretation, when you say 'Gimp 2.30', it would just be a typo, and the correct one is 'Gimp 3.0'. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.


Ofnuts, I finally understood this RC1!

Ohhhhh 5 bugs in 2 days is a lot. Not to mention what kind of bugs you found.

I have trouble reporting bugs. I tried once, but I found it too complicated for a non-native English speaker.

So in this case I'll wait for a stable version.

Unlike many, I'm not looking forward to version 3.0 where amazing plugins and scripts won't work.

Lady and Gentlemen, thank you very much for the clarification.
