Default GIMP version on help form

paynekj · **Posted:** Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:35 am **(#1)**

I just saw this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12205 and Molly's response, which prompted me to try creating a new topic in the Help section.

Do you think it would be helpful to update the default GIMP version to 2.8.14? Or not have a default to force the user to supply one.

I went ahead and updated the default to 2.8.14, for now.

You make an interesting point, though. Half the time, the person requesting help doesn't bother changing any of the defaults and we find out later which version of GIMP they're using and which OS/Version they're using. I don't know if leaving it blank would help, but I suppose we could try it and see what happens. :smiley2

Maybe instead of leaving it blank, it should say:

GIMP Version: (please enter GIMP version)

Either that, or leave it blank and force the user to enter a their GIMP version. Sometimes, the GIMP version is not that relevant to the question.
