Edit with Gimp Command File

[mackenzieh]

Anyone know where I can find the "Edit With Gimp" File? You know, the one where you right click and it says Edit with X program? I have that command for paint.net, but not Gimp.

I have a .REG file,
that will add "Edit with GIMP" to the right-click menu.
However,
I've used it for GIMP.2.8 and it will need to be changed for your version and drive location.

What is your GIMP version name and drive location (Full name and drive location).

For example:



In the example above.
The drive location is the C:\ drive and the GIMP version shows as gimp-2.8.exe.
These may need to be changed,
depending on your version of GIMP and it's installation location.

Here is the edited .reg files.
The .reg files will work with Windows OS installation of GIMP on the C:\,
for GIMP version 2.10.
I also included a .reg file,
which will remove the command form the right-click menu,
as well as the registry.

remove_edit_with_GIMP_2.10.zip

There are 2 .reg files included in this zip folder
One will add the command the other will remove it.

Wallace, how does this work? Is it when you are in another program and want to edit with GIMP?

It works from File Explorer.
By adding a registry entry into the Windows Registry.
When you right-click on an image,
which it able to be edited.
You will be given the option of "Edit with GIMP" within the menu.

Thank you for the information, Wallace. I really don't know much about how commands and in the registry.

No problem Pat625.
The .reg files does everything for you.
It's actually redundant,
or unnecessary.
However,
I like using it.
Even though there are other methods of launching GIMP,
that work just as well.

Wallace, is there a specific placement or subfolder in Windows registry to place your .reg files?

You don't need treat the registry file in that manner.
If you right-click the registry file and select Merge.
The command will be added to the Windows registry.
Save the files somewhere for use later and also run it form that location.
