Hi,

Novell? I have no idea what is meant. I'm just an ignorant user who
used to like the way gimp worked, I have no clue what Novell would
have to do with it now not working. It must be an inside joke.
This issue has cause a *huge* amount of bad-feeling and in-fighting in
the past, so rather than dig it all up again, I'll just offer the two
workarounds I use.
Firstly, I generally have GQView running behind the GIMP and use its
internal image browser to locate files. I just drag-n-drop them into
the GIMP's window. (You really need a window manager that will allow
you to disable click-to-front for this to work well, though - i.e. not
Metacity, unless you're up to patching it. That's another issue that's
caused similar rows.)
The other trick I use is to set up an alias to gimp-remote in my shell,
so if I want to open a file that's quicker to type than locate, I just type:
gr /path/to/file
That way I can use the shell's tab completion.
Ironic, isn't it, that a UI simplification intended to make newbies more
comfortable results in me resorting to the shell...
All the best,
