Two problems converting from 2.2 to 2.4
Arthur T.
Current system: Windows 2000 with both GIMP 2.2 & 2.4
installed. 2.3 had been installed, but I removed it before
installing 2.4.
Problem #1: In 2.2 I had managed to tell the Open and Save
dialogues to use F:\ as the default location, instead of "My
Pictures". I don't remember how I did that, and can't find how to
do it for 2.4.
Problem #2: Many filters seemingly will not register. I have
several downloaded scripts which attempt to register themselves in
a Color menu under Filters. None of these properly register in
2.4. Here's an example:
(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-colortemp"
_"<Image>/Filters/Colors")
I changed it to the following, and it works correctly:
(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-colortemp"
_"<Image>/Filters/Light and Shadow")
However, I have other scripts that "want" to be under Color. Do
have to modify all of them? Is there something special about the
"Color" name? (Actually, I don't get any kind of "cannot
register" error, but there's never a Color selection from the
Filters pulldown menu.)

Open properties of the shortcut you use to start GIMP and set the "Start
in" directory to F:\.

Thank you! I looked everywhere I could in the GIMP
directories and options, but never thought of the Windows
properties. I see that that is what I had done with 2.2 and that
it works with 2.4, too.

I don't print often. I mostly use GIMP to enhance digipics
that need it.
I think I've printed something since upgrading to 2.4. If I
did, I didn't have the problems I've been reading about. In case
it matters, my printer is an old HP 950C.

There is a windows port of the 'gutenprint' plugin - it was mentioned in a
post about a month ago.
I normally use Gimp in linux but tried this in a Win XP machine and
although beta it works very well. My Canon pixma 4500 would spit out a
blank sheet with the regular print module - now I have control over image
size and position of the image on tthe paper.
Well worth a try if you use Gimp 2.4.x and have one of the 'troublesome'
printers. See:
