When I launched GIMP today I got a cool popup that 2.10.18 is available.
It says "Even though you use the last version, it is recommended to reinstall. New revisious come with package fixes". https://i.imgur.com/7HuGQzj.jpg Does this mean to un-install then install the new version? Should I always uninstall first or just this time? (Thoroughly like with Revo?) I haven't done that since I last had an issue (incidentally because I'm using the 32-bit version). IIRC I made some customizations at some point.

If you're on Windows, there's never a need to uninstall previous GIMP version when upgrading - the installer is specifically made to properly upgrade any older version. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< https://eternallybored.org/ > A university is a place where men of principle outnumber men of honor. -- May's Mordant Maxim _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [hidden email] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list |

If you are having problems running the current gimp i'd suggest an uninstall (but try renaming your profie folder first and see if that cures the problems). Otherwise it should not be neeeded. ankh -- Liam Quin - web slave for https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ with fabulous vintage art and fascinating texts to read.

Thank you very much Liam! That's what I've thought, but the wording of the
message I quoted made me wonder if something (like a package update) would make uninstalling necessary.

On Windows uninstall and reinstall should have the same result as just doing an upgrade (the installer doesn't touch user-specific settings). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< https://eternallybored.org/ > If God had intended us to go around naked, He would have made us that way. -- Olum's Observation (and see Martha's Maxim and Farrow's Finding) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [hidden email] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list |
