Hello, Everyone I almost hesitate to mention this, because it might seem really hard to believe, but ultimately, I feel that it bears mentioning. Before my last email on this thread, I had opened Gimp from CVS to see if the file types had returned. They had not. But for whatever reason (I probably just forgot to close it out) I kept Gimp from CVS open. Next, as an experiment, I ran "make uninstall" from the Gimp CVS directory and uninstalled that version of Gimp. I then started a fresh download of Gimp from CVS. While I was waiting for the download to finish, I noticed that I had not closed Gimp from CVS before I had ran "make uninstall" Not really knowing why I tried this, I proceeded to open up the File Selection dialog. Remember, the version of Gimp that I am "now" opening up the File Selector from has been uninstalled. Guess what? All of my image types are now accessible through the File Selector. Granted, there was nothing I could do with those images, since I had just uninstalled that version of Gimp, but none the less, the image types were back. I am now compiling another fresh download of Gimp from CVS. If the image types (and the resultant ability to edit almost anything at all in the Gimp) are still gone, I will try the same experiment on the missing menu items that I referred to in my original message on this thread. Like I said in my last message on this thread, my original message is full of links to screenshots and output logs from my attempts to compile and install Gimp from CVS. In closing, I feel the need to clarify that I had a fully functioning installation of Gimp from CVS until this issue with the image types disappearing started. So I most definitely have successfully compiled and installed (and used) Gimp from CVS on this system. The problems actually started right about the time that 2.3.6 was released. Steven P.
