3's splash screen is cool. Just got to work out where I can put extra items now. Which folder?
Is it Gimp3, share, gimp, 3.0. Lots of folders in there, most are empty

Not much is really changed. It is the same format as for Gimp 2.10  Any "extras" go in the appropriate User Profile. If in doubt look at the paths shown by Edit -> Preferences -> Folders (and the required folder)

C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\brushes ... fonts ...scripts ...plug-ins  
or
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\brushes ... fonts ...scripts ...plug-ins  

With the provision that your old Gimp 2.10 scripts and plug-ins do not work with Gimp 3.0

Thanks, Mostly want to move over fonts, brushes, gradients, patterns. I'll leave the scripts and plugins for now.
