I will go ahead and test that theory tomorrow. No. What the docs try to tell you, but fail - due to changes in the windows user directory locations - is that this file is located in your personal GIMP user profile directly, which is located in your Windows user profile. A better approach for the docs - and other places that try to tell people how to locate their personal GIMP directories - would be to not mention *any* directories, but show users how to find out that location themselves: 1. Go to the Folders section in the GIMP preferences 2. See two folders there (in the default settings) Example: http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-folders-data One of them refers to a directory located where GIMP is installed, one refers to the corresponding directory in the users profile folder. Browse them in a file manager - for example Windows Explorer - and have a look at a few of the files in them - for example with a good text editor (*not* Notepad) to get a feel for what is located there. The time spent on this is well invested. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
