Sure? most (if not all) of third party plugin are not compiled for 64 bit but only for 32 so many may prefer run a 32 bit gimp even if a 64 bit version could be available Or simple they may wish to run a stable version for work...and a beta for the fun to test new features... -- photocomix (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
